Sevilla vs Athletic Bilbao

Sevilla vs Athletic Bilbao is one of the most interesting matches in this last round in La Liga. Both teams will have a place in Europe, each in another competition. The meeting was held on May 18, 2019, on Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.

Sevilla will be difficult to get Champions League

Sevilla had a rather weak season season and lost the chance to climb the Champions League. Theoretically it could be fourth, but I think it’s impossible. Valencia remains in front of Sevilla and if he manages to win just one point in Valladolid, thanks to direct matches. And if Getafe, Valencia and Sevilla will be on the same level, Valencia is all in the most important European competition. Sevilla can only qualify in 4th place if they lose the matches that both teams face in front of Getafe and Valencia. It’s hard to believe this will happen. The Andaluza team only has to be satisfied with the 6th place, the one that is at the moment. An equal result would suffice. Wissam Ben Yedder has scored 17 times this season, and remains the main host of the hosts. Roque Mesa, Gonalons and Banega, three main players will be missing in this game.

• Sevilla (4-4-2): Vaclik – Navas, Mercado, Sergi Gomez, Escudero – Sarabia, Rog, Amadou, Vazquez – Munir, Ben Yedder

Athletic Bilbao needs a point to go to the Europa League

For Athletic Bilbao, the situation is as clear as possible. To go to the Europa League, from the last eligible place, needs not to lose to Sevilla. He now has 3 points more than Real Sociedad and Espanyol Barcelona, ​​his followers. Both are advantaged in direct matches with Bilbao. It is worth noting that, since Garitano’s arrival at the technical leadership, a miracle has been achieved. It has gone from a disastrous season that announces a cranny battle to avoid relegation, a very good trip, and a great chance to climb to Europe where Athletic has missed in recent years. Inaki Williams succeeded in imposing himself in the second half of the season as the main teammate. He was one of the most active strikers and managed to score 13 times. Raul Garcia was able to come back on the turn and managed to score 9 times.

• Athletic Bilbao (4-2-3-1): Herrerin – Ander Capa, Yeray Alvarez, Inigo Martinez, Yuri Berchiche – Benat, Dani Garcia – De Marcos, Raul Garcia, Muniain – Williams
