Athletic Bilbao qualified for the Champions League, finishing in fourth place. The team became one of the most difficult to beat, especially at home. Only Atletico Madrid and Barcelona managed to defeat them at home. Athletic also finished as the team with the fewest goals conceded in La Liga. However, this summer they suffered six losses in their seven friendlies, which is definitely surprising.
The coaching changes did not help Sevilla last season, finishing just above the relegation zone and only one point clear of it. This only confirmed Sevilla's decline in recent years. In an attempt to improve things, Matias Almeyda is now at the helm. However, Sevilla still has almost no movement in the transfer market.
Prediction: Victory for AthleticAthletic Bilbao very rarely loses at home, and when they do, it's usually against one of the top teams. Sevilla has been far from that in recent years. If there is a winner here, it should definitely be Athletic once again.
