Athletic Club vs Sevilla

Current streaks

Recent form

Athletic Club

Athletic Club are currently experiencing a concerning run of form, having lost five consecutive matches across various competitions. Despite their top position in the league table, their recent performances have been far from impressive. The Basque side have conceded a worrying 12 goals in their last six games, averaging 2 goals conceded per match, while only managing to score 4 goals themselves. Their goal difference of -8 over this period is particularly alarming. The team's last victory came against Valencia in La Liga, but since then, they've struggled in friendlies and the Emirates Cup, with notable defeats including a 3-0 loss to Arsenal and a 3-2 defeat to Liverpool. Athletic Club have also failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five matches, suggesting defensive frailties that need urgent attention.

Sevilla

Sevilla have shown a mixed bag of form in their recent friendlies, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches with two wins and four draws. The Andalusian side have demonstrated resilience, not tasting defeat in their last six outings, but have struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in that period. Their most impressive result came against FC Schalke 04, where they netted four goals in a high-scoring 4-2 victory. Sevilla's attacking prowess is evident, scoring an average of 1.67 goals per game, while their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 1.17 goals per match. The team's matches have been relatively entertaining, with both teams scoring in 83% of their recent fixtures, though they tend to be tighter affairs with 67% of games seeing fewer than 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form

Athletic Club

Athletic Club have shown mixed form at home recently, with four wins and two losses in their last six matches. The Basque side have been particularly strong defensively, keeping three clean sheets in this period. However, their two defeats were significant, conceding three goals in each loss against Barcelona and Manchester United. Athletic Club have been consistent in their attacking output, scoring in five of the six games, including a notable 3-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano. Their goal difference stands at zero, having scored and conceded seven goals each across these matches. Interestingly, the team experienced a run of three consecutive home wins in La Liga and Europa League fixtures before their most recent defeat to Barcelona. Despite the occasional high-scoring affair, half of their recent home games have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards tighter contests at San Mamés.

Sevilla

Sevilla's recent away form presents a mixed picture, with the team showing resilience in friendlies but struggling in their last two La Liga matches. The Andalusian side have not lost in their last four away games, drawing twice and winning twice, but this run includes three friendlies. Their last two competitive away fixtures resulted in high-scoring defeats, conceding seven goals whilst scoring four. Notably, Sevilla have been involved in several goal-laden encounters, with four of their last six away games featuring over 2.5 goals, including a 4-2 loss to Villarreal and a 4-2 victory over Schalke 04. The team's defensive frailties are evident, having kept only one clean sheet in their last six away matches, but they've also demonstrated attacking prowess, scoring in every game and averaging 1.83 goals per match on their travels.
