Athletic Club vs Sevilla Prediction (22.08.2026)

Ernesto Valverde has concluded his long journey at the helm of Athletic Bilbao. His position is now taken by Edin Terzić, who will try to have a better season, as last season was not good and Bilbao finished in 12th place. The German coach will also aim to improve the team's home form, which has won only one of its last four home games and hasn't achieved two consecutive home wins since October. Additionally, Athletic has only one clean sheet in their last 28 matches.

Sevilla, on the other hand, finished 13th and has not been performing well in the last 2-3 years. They started the season with a difficult home win of 2:1 against Rayo Vallecano, with both goals scored from penalties, one of which was in the 97th minute. Sevilla has lost five of their last six away games in La Liga and has only won twice away in the league since September last year. The last seven matches of the team have been decided by exactly one goal difference.

Two teams that have been disappointing lately. I don't think there is a significant difference between them, and even if there is a winner, I don't expect them to win by more than a one-goal margin.
