Athletic Club vs Sevilla is a Saturday fixture at a raucous San Mames, with the hosts strong favourites against a Sevilla side that struggled last season.
Athletic have home advantage and a fine recent record in this fixture, while Sevilla are looking to rebuild. Andy Francis has the best bets, our score prediction and the head-to-head record below. The game kicks off at 4pm BST on Saturday, August 22nd.
Premium Tips
Andy is with the hosts, whose quality and San Mames backing should be too much for a struggling Sevilla side.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Athletic Club to win, Over 2.5 goals and Gorka Guruzeta | 7/2 | Athletic have the quality and San Mames atmosphere to see off a Sevilla side that endured a difficult campaign and continues to search for consistency on the road. The hosts have won three of the last five meetings in this fixture, and with Guruzeta, Williams and Sancet all capable of contributing in the final third, goals should flow at both ends given Sevilla’s defensive issues. Guruzeta leads the line and has developed into a reliable source of goals for Athletic, so with the hosts expected to create plenty of chances in front of their own supporters, backing him to score inside an entertaining, high-scoring home win looks a smart combination. |
| Both teams to score, Inaki Williams and Nico Williams over 0.5 shots on target | 10/3 | Athletic carry a real goal threat through the Williams brothers, and with the hosts expected to dominate large spells of possession at San Mames, both should get regular sight of goal and chances to test the Sevilla goalkeeper. Sevilla have shown enough going forward this season to trouble most defences on their day, even away from home, and with Athletic occasionally leaving gaps at the back, the visitors should also find the net at least once. Backing both teams to score alongside two of Athletic’s most direct attacking outlets to register a shot on target looks a well-rounded angle on this one. |

How Athletic Club go into the game
Athletic Club finished 12th last season on 45 points, a step below their own standards but with the quality to challenge higher. San Mames remains a fortress and home form will be key.
Gorka Guruzeta and Inaki Williams lead the attacking threat, with Oihan Sancet a danger from midfield. Making home advantage count against Sevilla is the clear aim.
How Sevilla go into the game
Sevilla endured a difficult 2025-26, finishing 13th on 43 points as their decline continued. Steadying the ship and climbing the table is the priority this term.
The visitors carry a threat on their day but have a poor recent record at San Mames. Keeping it tight early and staying in the game looks the realistic plan.
