(33.3%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThree of the last 18 head-to-heads have ended all square, and both teams are struggling to convert statistical edges into wins (Sevilla 6 draws from 20, Athletic Club 3). With finishing issues for Athletic and leaky defending from Sevilla, a stalemate is a real possibility.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
