Often overlooked in this fascinating title race, Sevilla continue to mount pressure on the more pronounced title chasers, or perhaps waiting for the right time to swoop in and take all the glory. And they will certainly be in high spirits at the moment, especially after their match-winning performance against Granada last weekend.

Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao followed up their morale-boosting victory Atletico Madrid with a disappointing stalemate with Real Valladolid in midweek. However, ensuring that they finish in the top half of the table would surely be top priority, as there's little to nothing left to fight for in this campaign.

Sevilla vs Athletic Bilbao Team News

Sevilla, in their last outing, clinched an important 2-1 victory over Granada at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium. Apart from the late scare from Roberto Soldado's penalty goal, it was pretty much a straightforward victory for the hosts, who had scored earlier on in both halves through Ivan Rakitic and Lucas Ocampos.

This victory marked their fifth successive victory in the league, and Los Nervionenses will be counting on this astounding run of form when they take on Athletic Club on Monday. Moreover, this great run of form leaves them in a great position - hot on the heels of their title rivals.

Undoubtedly, Sevilla would like to keep this momentum, and see where it leaves them at the end of the season. They currently sit in 4th-place on the log, six points adrift the league leaders Atletico Madrid, who claimed a narrow victory over Elche on Saturday. With five games still to go, Sevilla are presently on 70 points - their points tally for the whole of 2019-20 season.

Following their short-lived spell in the Champions League this term, another season of Champions League football has been firmly secured. Nevertheless, Julen Lopetegui will urge his side to remain focused, heading into the final straight, as a lot could change before the curtain falls.

Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao will be dreaming of the Europa League spots, albeit it is seemingly out of reach right now, and it would, in fact, take something of a miracle to close the eight-point gap between them and sixth-placed Real Betis, who have also played 33 league matches so far.

The Lions currently sit in 10th-place on the league standings, merely two points above the bottom half of the table. While they're currently on a seven-game unbeaten run, only one of those matches ended in a win - the 2-1 victory over table-topping Atletico Madrid last weekend.

But their inconsistency reared its ugly head again in midweek, when they were made to settle for a share of the spoils by an out-of-sorts Real Valladolid. Three goals in the final 20 minutes saw Valladolid equalize twice to set their hosts back on the road to victory.

Sevilla vs Athletic Bilbao Predictions

It's no secret that Athletic Bilbao have struggled a lot in unfamiliar territory this term, as evident in their away record of two wins, seven draws and seven defeats.

We envisage Sevilla getting this one over the line, yet again, but we also do see them struggling to keep Bilbao's attack at bay. (Home Win & BTTS)
