Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Athletic Club and Sevilla go head to head at Estadio San Mames in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Saturday’s program. The Lions head into the match following a goalless draw with Getafe, and you should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in six of their last seven league fixtures. All Berchiche, Nolaskoain, Vivian, and Villalibre are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Los Sevillanos, on the other hand, recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Villarreal in their last league match. The Andalusian outfit aim to melt Real Madrid’s advantage in the La Liga standings, but beating the Lions on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. All Marcos Acuna, Erik Lamela, Youssef En-Nesyri, and Jesus Navas are injured for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Iker Muniain):
Iker Muniain was once considered one of the most talented players in Spain, but he obviously failed to reach his full potential. Munian is an attacking midfielder, who is capable of playing as a forward as well and he began his youth career at Chantrea. In 2005 he made probably the best decision of his career as he joined Athletic Bilbao youth academy.
He made his debut for Athletic Bilbao on 30 July, 2009 in a 1-0 loss to Young Boys in the Europa League. Iker Munian impressed in the 2011/2012 La Liga campaign with the Lions, scoring nine goals in all competitions, but he failed to make a bigger progress. The Athletic Bilbao product has been struggling with injuries and it has to be noted that the injury he suffered against Sevilla on 4 April, 2015 could have ruined his career.
However, he returned to action on 20 December, but he was playing below expectations in the second half of the season. Iker Munian made his Spain debut on 29 February, 2012 in a friendly against Venezuela. La Roja won the match 5-0 and Munian came as a substitute in the 74th minute of the match.
