Sevilla vs Athletic Club prediction: Lukebakio to strike in home win
Key stats
- Our Sevilla vs Athletic Club betting tips take into account that the visitors have only won 36% of their away games this term in the Spanish top flight.
- Sevilla have only lost one of their last nine games in La Liga.
- 77% of Sevilla home games have served up under 2.5 goals.
Correct score prediction: Sevilla 1-0 Athletic Club
Athletic’s tendency for a European hangover suggests they could be vulnerable here, particularly against a strong Sevilla side that has grown in confidence as the season has progressed.
Garcia Pimienta’s side look quite well-organised defensively, and with Dodi Lukebakio impressing on the right flank, they may have just enough to edge this.

Player to watch – Dodi Lukebakio

Lukebakio scoring at the death
The 27-year-old has been particularly effective in the closing stages of games. 45% of his league goals this term have come after the 75th minute.
