Comments and predictions for Athletic Bilbao vs Sevilla: 1 goal difference

Athletic Bilbao will be aiming to make it four wins in a row in La Liga when they return to domestic action by hosting Sevilla on Sunday afternoon.

The Basque side are currently fifth in the table, with 13 points from their first seven games of the season, while Sevilla are 13th, having picked up just eight points from their first seven games.

Latest Athletic Bilbao vs Sevilla squad information

Nico Williams came off the bench for Athletic's game against Roma after recovering from injury, and the Spain star is now expected to return to the starting line-up for this game.

There will be changes to the line-up that started against Roma, with Oscar de Marcos and Adama Boiro also likely to return to the squad this weekend.

Gorka Guruzeta scored twice in Athletic's 3-1 win over Celta last weekend, and the Spaniard will continue to lead the Basque side's attack, while Inaki Williams will play on the right wing.

For Sevilla, Jesus Navas, Saul Niguez, Djibril Sow, Isaac Romero and Albert Sambi Lokonga will miss the match through injury, while Marcao is suspended following his red card against Real Valladolid.

Navas and Saul were both out injured in the previous game, and their absence could open the door for Lucien Agoume and Gonzalo Montiel to start.

Peque Fernandez is expected to keep his place up front, but Ejuke could also feature after he scored off the bench in the team's last game.

Latest football commentary Athletic Bilbao vs Sevilla

Athletic have had an underwhelming start to the 2024-25 La Liga campaign, collecting just four points from their first four games, but they have since recorded three consecutive wins over Las Palmas, Leganes and Celta Vigo to move up the table.

The team have amassed 13 points from seven games, sitting in fifth place, just one point behind fourth-placed Villarreal, and they picked up a 3-1 win over Celta in the league last weekend.

Ernesto Valverde's side then turned their attention to the Europa League, opening the 2024-25 campaign with a 1-1 draw against Roma in Italy, with Aitor Parades scoring a late equaliser for the Basque side.

Athletic finished fifth in La Liga last season and they will be hoping to maintain that position for much of this campaign, but it remains to be seen how Valverde will balance his European commitments.

The Basque side have beaten Sevilla both times in the 2023-24 campaign, including a 2-0 win when the two sides met at San Mames later in the season.

Sevilla are out of Europe this season, while their 14th-place finish last season was their worst in the Spanish top flight since being relegated in 2000.

Los Nervionenses also struggled in the early stages of the 2024-25 season, with a record of two wins, two draws and three losses, collecting eight points, leaving them in 13th place.

Garcia Pimienta's side have won two of their last three league games, though, beating Getafe and Real Valladolid at home alongside a 2-1 defeat to Alaves.

Sevilla looked set to share the spoils with Real Valladolid in their last game, but Chidera Ejuke scored an 85th-minute winner to earn the hosts all three points at the Estadio Ramon.

Despite losing both of their league games last season, Sevilla do have a recent win over Athletic, recording a 1-0 win at San Mames in April 2023. Athletic are currently on a roll in La Liga and we predict them to win again here, but Sevilla are fully capable of making it a tough game despite their problems this season.
