Team News

Athletic Club
Sevilla
  • Athletic Club is currently without Yeray and Unai Simón, but they will have the recently recovered Nico Williams and Aguirrezabala available for selection after his participation on Thursday.
  • The status of Vivian is uncertain due to a cheekbone injury sustained in Rome, while Sancet's availability is also in question.
  • Regarding the starting eleven, Athletic Club will be monitoring Vivian's fitness closely. If he is unavailable, Núñez is likely to return to the starting lineup.
  • De Marcos, Jauregizar, and Nico Williams are expected to start after being rotated, while Lekue or Boiro could provide rest for Yuri.
  • Sevilla will be missing Marcao due to suspension, along with Lokonga, Saúl, and Söw who are sidelined with injuries.
  • They are also monitoring the fitness of Jesús Navas, who is dealing with hip issues, as well as Barco's unavailability and Lukebakio's training on the sidelines. On a positive note, Isaac Romero has returned to the squad.
  • In terms of the starting eleven, Pimienta will need to find a partner for Badé in defense in the absence of Marcao, with Nianzou and Kike Salas as potential options. Pedrosa might replace Barco, who is unavailable, while Agoumé could fill the midfield void left by Saúl. Up top, Romero may lead the attack once again, with Ejuke likely taking one of the wing positions, leaving a decision between Lukebakio and Navas for the remaining spot.

Prediction

  • Following Athletic Club's victory over Celta last weekend, they now secured three consecutive wins and currently sits in 5th position. They will aim to maintain their positive momentum by achieving a favorable result against Sevilla, who currently occupy the 12th spot in the standings.
  • On the other hand, Sevilla can find some relief after their recent win against Real Valladolid, which helps to mask their initial struggles this season. However, another loss or a poor performance by the Andalusian team in Bilbao could intensify criticism regarding the team's style of play.
