Sevilla take on the visitors Athletic in the round 8 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, October 8th at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan (Sevilla).
Sevilla are in something of a "free fall" phase. In general, the symptoms of this were already in the last season. Failures in the Champions League and Europa League, defeat in the cup derby to Betis, a weak 2nd part in the LaLiga. Then the amount of points that was taken in the fall-winter, it turned out to finish at the usual level, in the quartet of leaders. Nevertheless, it was not possible to deal with the errors, correct them during the summer break. By mid-autumn, for 7 matches, it turned out to scrape together a miserable 5 points. These are not the indicators that will allow you to stay in European competition in general (by the way, there is also little success in the Champions League). In September they finally managed to defeat Espanyol on the road - the young defender Carmona had a double and an assist. After that, there was a draw with the strong Villarreal. The fans hoped that the break for the meetings of the national teams would help. But after that, at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan was 0-2 with Atlético.

Athletic are considered one of those teams that can take advantage of the problems of Sevilla. It is already more or less clear that White Andalusia is leaving, at least within this tempo, the top 4. This means that ambitious contenders will have the opportunity to compete for a pass to the Champions League. And among those will be the "Basques", who returned to the post of head coach Ernesto Valverde. It seems that under the former mentor, Marcelino, there were good results. Last year, the country's Super Cup was taken, for which it was necessary to win against Real Madrid and Barcelona. And last season, it wasn’t enough to return to European competition - they finished in 8th place. But now, with the "Ant", the start was really impressive. Yes, in the 1st round there was only a draw with Mallorca. But then there were 5 wins with the only misfire in the form of an unexpected 0-1 with Espanyol at home. They didn't slow down even after the break for international games: last Friday it was 4-0 with Almeria.
Athletic won both head-to-head matches in the season before the last. But in the last draw, Sevilla was able to respond in kind. Bookmakers consider the chances of this pair to be quite equal. But, taking into account what was shown in the starting segment, we recommend betting on guests with a “handicap of 0”.
Prediction for the match: Athletic to win with 0.0 handicap.
