Sevilla vs Athletic prediction and betting tips on March 16, 2025
Game Prediction
In the 28th round of the Spanish La Liga on March 16, 2025, Sevilla will play against Athletic. The hosts still have a chance to return to European competitions, and the guests need points just as much to secure their place among the leading quartet.
Our Prediction for the Sevilla vs Athletic Match
The team from "Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan" managed to "improve" their results in the 2023/2024 season, even worsening compared to the previous season with its sharp decline. After winning the Europa League, they were eliminated from the Champions League from last place in the group. And in La Liga, they lost the battle for thirteenth place, despite having 41 points, due to tiebreakers. In Bilbao, Valverde's return finally made a serious impact. He won the Copa del Rey and lifted the team to fifth place in La Liga.
This allowed them to return to the Europa League. There, the Basques were among the best in the main round, advancing directly to the Round of 16. They played Roma again, narrowly losing in Italy but achieving a satisfactory 3-1 victory at home. Meanwhile, the additional burden didn't prevent them from consolidating their fourth position in La Liga. However, mistakes became more frequent, and they only managed a draw with Mallorca. Javier Garcia Pimienta appeared in Sevilla in the summer. With him, the team made some progress, albeit not impressively, managing to move to the upper half of the table with hopes for a final seventh position. Undoubtedly, after their 1-0 win against Real Sociedad, those hopes increased.
Lookebakio and company play pragmatically. They score only 1.19 goals per game but concede slightly more at 1.33. Williams and his teammates currently have a great ratio of 1.67/0.89.
