Spain – La Liga | Sevilla VS Athletic Bilbao; Friday, 05 January at 02:15 GMT +8

Sevilla suffered their 8th defeat of the season and remain in 15th position in LaLiga. The Andalusian club has faced numerous issues in LaLiga and was eliminated from European competitions after placing 4th in the Champions League group stage. They face a gloomy second part of the season, aiming to preserve their elite rank.

Athletic Bilbao is in a strong position, close to the Champions League lead. Currently in 5th place, they have been undefeated in their last 10 matches, including cup matches. Their defense has been particularly effective, winning against Las Palmas and Atletico Madrid without conceding a goal.

Acuna and Bade are unable to play due to muscle injuries, while Diaz, Lukebakio, Navas, and Nianzou are out due to knee injuries.

Alvarez, De Marcos, Garcia, and Ruiz de Gallareta will miss the match due to groin injuries, ankle problems, and other absences from previous Athletic Bilbao matches.

Predicted lineups:

Sevilla

Goalkeeper: Marko Dmitrovic
Defenders: Nemanja Gudelj, Sergio Ramos, Kike Salas
