Head to Head

Sevilla have a 29-18 advantage against Athletic Bilbao with 13 draws in 60 matches.

The most recent head to head encounter was won by Sevilla 1-0 in April 2023.

Sevilla Form

Sevilla are having one of the least successful seasons in La Liga in the last decade, winning only three of their 18 league duels and sitting in 15th place just a couple of points away from the relegation zone.

Los Rojiblancos suffered three straight defeats in early December to Mallorca 1-0, Lens 2-1 and Getafe 3-0, before finally ending the negative run with a convincing 3-0 victory at Granada with Adria Pedrosa, Lucas Ocampos and Sergio Ramos appearing on the score sheet.

However, they underperformed again in the most recent contest against Atletico Madrid and lost 1-0, having only 0.31 expected goals and two shots on target even though Caglar Soyuncu was sent off for the opposition.

Orjan Nyland, Erik Lamela, Loic Bade, Mariano Diaz, Marcos Acuna, Jesus Navas and Joan Jordan are injured.

Athletic Bilbao Form

Athletic Bilbao are playing slightly above expectations this season by grabbing 35 points through 18 rounds, losing just three duels and sitting in high 5th place on the La Liga table.

The Basque side has high confidence after wrapping up 2023 with two home victories against Atletico Madrid 2-0 and Las Palmas 1-0. The victory against the Atleti was well deserved with 2.45-0.42 goals with Ohian Sancet missing a penalty in the first half.

The sole scorer against Las Palmas was Unai Gomez in the stoppage time. Interestingly, Athletic Bilbao failed to convert a penalty in this match as well with Gorka Guruzeta missing the target.
