Game Preview
At the Cathedral, Athletic Bilbao and Sevilla will square off in their first 2024 match. Both sides have a winning mindset going into this matchday, and an entertaining game is anticipated. Both will attempt to win, after Athletic beating Las Palmas 1-0 and Sevilla losing to Atletico Madrid 1-0 in their previous game.
So far, Sevilla has had one win and one loss under Quique Sanchez Flores. Although their injury list continues to be the largest in La Liga, the break could have allowed some of their players to regain their health. However, other players are still out, including Jesus Navas, Loic Bade, Fernando, and Dodi Lukebakio. Athletic still has injury concerns for Iñigo Ruiz de Galarreta and Oscar De Marcos, and they lost Inaki Williams to AFCON action.
Sevilla intends to act fast in this winter market since, unlike previous years, the team’s sporting circumstances do not permit delays. For this reason, the team is in talks to finalize the signing of two midfield players in the first few days of January. The goal is to release players like Mariano and Fernando, even though departures are required to register the incoming reinforcements. Because these players are young, unimportant to their teams, and won’t come at a hefty price, the signing process has moved quickly.
Athletic has now won their previous eight league games at San Mames without losing, having won at home for the third time in a row after falling to Real Madrid 2-0 on the first weekend of the 2023–24 campaign. No La Liga team has scored more goals at home this season than Ernesto Valverde’s team, who has scored a minimum of two goals in each of those eight games in the presence of their fans. This is an impressive feat. Athletic Bilbao, who are currently in excellent form, will want to make it 11 straight games without a loss.
