Our Top Betting Predictions and Picks for Sevilla vs Athletic Bilbao
If you are struggling to decide on the best bet for Sevilla vs Athletic Bilbao duel, check our top betting tips for this game:
Sevilla to Win
The two teams enter this game in completely different moods since Sevilla struggled a lot since the start of the season, in all competitions, while Athletic Bilbao is in great form and currently third in La Liga standings.
Despite that, we can see Sevilla winning this game. They fired their manager after a loss to Dortmund over the week and we can see that being like a shock therapy to their players, who are too good to struggle for so long. So, we expect Sevilla to start playing better and we can see that happening on Saturday as well.
Over 2.5 Total Goals
Three of the previous five head-to-head duels between Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao have gone over 2.5 total goals, so we won't be surprised to see that happening in their next game too.
Furthermore, both Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao averaged 2.86 goals per game in La Liga this season, so they've clearly played some high-scoring games thus far.

Sevilla vs Athletic Bilbao – Team News, Probable Lineups, and Recent Form
This is a duel between two very good teams, so let's take a better look at them ahead of their upcoming matchup:
Sevilla
After a 4-1 loss to Dortmund at home, which was their second loss in three Champions League matches, along with a draw against Copenhagen, Sevilla decided to let Julen Lopategui go. After all, the team also struggled in La Liga so far, managing to collect just five points from seven games, which puts Sevilla in the 17th place in the standings. The new coach will be Jorge Sampaoli.
Sampaoli will have to manage without Marcao, Jesus Corona, Karim Rekik, and Oliver Torres in his debut since they are all out with injuries at the moment.
Sevilla Predicted Lineup:
Bounou – Acuna, Salas, Gudelj, Carmona – Jordan, Rakitic – Gomez, Isco, Lamela – En-Nesyri
Athletic Bilbao
With five wins, one draw, and one loss in the first seven rounds of the new La Liga season, the Basque team is currently third in the standings. That is a fantastic start for Athletic Bilbao and while they did have a favourable scheduled so far, they also proved that they are a serious contender for one of the top spots that lead to European competitions next season.
Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao will be without Daniel Vivian and Yuri Berchiche through injuries.
Athletic Bilbao Predicted Lineup:
Simon – Lekue, Martinez, Alvarez, De Marcos – Garcia, Sancet – Berenguer, Muniain, N. Williams – I. Williams
