On Sunday evening, gameweek 37 of La Liga pits Athletic Club against Sevilla at San Mames.
Athletic looking to get back to winning waysLos Leones are in fifth place in the Spanish top flight, occupying one of the Europa League spots, five points clear of sixth-place Real Sociedad.
Ernesto Valverde’s team heads into this clash on the back of just one of their last seven games in the Spanish top flight. They have also conceded at least two goals in three of their previous four matches in La Liga.
Although Athletic are unbeaten in their last 17 home games in the Spanish top-flight, Los Leones have drawn four of their last five home games in La Liga.
Their recent home games at San Mames in the Liga have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous five home games.
Sevilla looking to end their losing streakThe Andalusians are in 12th place in the Spanish top-flight table, nine points clear of the relegation zone.
Quique Sanchez Flores’ team has suffered back-to-back defeats against Villarreal and Cadiz and has won just one of their last four La Liga outings.
Sevilla’s recent away form has been inconsistent. A 3-2 defeat at Villarreal ended a four-game unbeaten run in La Liga on their travels.
The visitor’s recent away games have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven away matches.
The Andalusians have a decent recent head-to-head record against Athletic, having won three of the last five meetings and suffered just one defeat.
What am I backing?This game could well be a close affair between two teams who have struggled for wins recently. I believe this encounter may well be a low-scoring clash, so the bet I am backing is under 2.5 goals scored.
