Sevilla FC vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction 16 March 2025
Added on 14 March, 2025
La Liga's twenty-eighth matchday continues in Seville, where the hosts will take on Athletic in an intriguing showdown.
Sevilla have recovered well from a heavy 1:4 defeat to Barcelona a month ago, stringing together a series of positive results, including a dominant 4:0 victory over Valladolid, draws against Mallorca (1:1) and Rayo Vallecano (1:1), and a hard-fought 1:0 win over Real Sociedad. This resurgence has lifted them to tenth place with 36 points and a goal difference of 32:36.
Athletic, meanwhile, are enjoying a more consistent campaign, currently sitting in fourth place with 49 points and a goal tally of 45:24. In recent weeks, the Lions have delivered emphatic victories over Girona (3:0) and Valladolid (7:1), while also drawing with Espanyol (1:1) and Mallorca (1:1), but they did suffer a narrow 0:1 defeat to Atletico Madrid.
Sevilla’s momentum, coupled with their fresher legs after avoiding midweek European commitments, could play a crucial role in this contest. Given the circumstances, the hosts stand a strong chance of at least avoiding defeat.
