Sevilla – Athletic Club

Sevilla host Athletic Club in a clash that could tighten the top half of the table, with the home side sitting fifth on ten points after three wins, a draw and a loss, and a modest 8‑6 goal difference. Athletic, languishing in ninth with seven points from two victories, one stalemate and two defeats, will be eager to improve their 7‑6 tally and close the gap to the leaders. The two teams have met only sparingly this season, but Sevilla’s slightly better defensive record could prove decisive against an Athletic side that has struggled to keep clean sheets. A win for either side would reshape the mid‑table battle, while a draw would keep Sevilla perched just above the European places and leave Athletic still chasing a top‑six finish.
