Sevilla travels to Estadio San Mamés for a clash with Athletic Bilbao in the Serie A this weekend. Kick off on 11th December 2021 at 23:00 EAT.
Athletic Bilbao has been inconsistent and is currently placed ninth with 21 points after 15 league matches, they have also recorded the most draws (nine) of matches in La Liga this season, although only two of the ties came at home soil.
Athletic Bilbao prepares for this fixture coming off the back of a 0-0 La stalemate with Getafe. In that game, Athletic Bilbao had 55% possession, nine shots with three of them on target. Getafe CF got 17 shots with five of them on target.
On the other hand, Sevilla is in the second place with 31 points after 15 matches in the current standings. The visitors will be looking to bounce back from the disappointment in the Champion league last week.
In their previous game Sevilla lost 1-0 to Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League. In that match, Sevilla had 66% possession, 11 shots on goal with only one of them on target. FC Red Bull Salzburg got six shots with two of them on target and a goal by Noah Okafor (50′).
Los Leones is on seven-game winless run, and have failed to score in four of their last five games and the opponents went under 2.5 total goals in four of their last five games in all competitions. Hence, we expect a low-scoring affair this weekend.
