There was a two-week break in Spain over Christmas and New Year's. The ball will roll again next weekend. In La Liga, Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao open the 19th matchday on Friday evening. According to the odds, the Andalusians should have a better chance of winning at the start of the year. A maximum of 1.67 is offered for the success of the home side, which has an implicit probability of occurrence of almost 60%.

However, the undertaking for the third place is not going to be easy, because the guests from the Basque Country have also played a decent season so far and, as seventh in the table, even have a direct connection to the European Cup places.

In addition, the team of Julen Lopetegui expects a real test of patience, because "Los Leones" with only twelve goals in 18 games so far have one of the strongest defenses in the entire La Liga. In five of the most recent eight matches, Athletic had not conceded a goal before the turn of the year.
Free fixed tips
The reason why we still give a tip on the better-placed host between Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao is primarily because the Garitano-Elf has not really gotten on the move so far. Only a single away win and only six goals scored do not necessarily cause fear and terror. In addition, the "Blanquirrojos” have already had good experiences with close results in the current season.

The fact that there is always quiet criticism is due to one or the other not very convincing football performance. In fact, the team of the former Spanish national team convinced mainly in the first half series with a good defense.

17 goals conceded mean the fourth best value in the league. Only FC Barcelona (0: 4) and Eibar (2: 3) were able to beat the Andalusian defense more than twice in one game. In eight home games, goalkeeper Thomas Vaclik only had to reach seven times. Nevertheless, the balance sheet in front of their own fans leaves something to be desired for Seville standards.

In the past, the "nervionenses” were still considered to be real home powers, but this reputation has suffered somewhat recently. With four wins and two defeats and two draws, the white-reds only ranked 13th in the home table. The last match in the old year was lost in the Ramon Sanchez Pijuan with 1: 2 against Villarreal. On Friday, a certain amount of reparation is announced.

Before the aforementioned bankruptcy against the "Yellow U-Boo”, however, the Lopetegui squad remained unbeaten for five home games in a row and celebrated four wins in this period, three of them zero. This strong streak is certainly one of the reasons why a prediction of the hosts could pay off during the 19th match between Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao.

Coach Lopetegui definitely has to do without the yellow-banned left-back Sergio Reguilon and the injured attacker Nolito. Otherwise, the 53-year-old, who has been swaying the Europa League record winner since July, has all the players at his disposal.

Free fixed predictions
As the eighth of last year, Athletic Bilbao narrowly missed out on international business. However, in the current season it seems almost as if the Basque people will benefit from being able to focus on La Liga. In any case, seventh place after matchday 18 ensures a passable interim conclusion.

Similar to the coming opponent, the Basques convince mainly by an extremely stable defense network. Only Atletico Madrid conceded fewer goals (eleven) than the Lions (twelve). However, the good work against the ball is blatantly in favor of their own offensive, which with only 19 goals scored is one of the most harmless of all 20 first division teams.
Due to the two strong defenses alone, it might be a good idea to take a closer look at the odds for less than three goals between Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao on Friday evening. In five of the last eight La Liga matches, "Los Leones” remained without conceding a goal. In addition, the Garitano team failed to score in seven of the 18 games. A spectacle with Basque participation is therefore not to be expected.
Free fixed predictions
The bottom line would still be a Sevilla vs. Athletic Bilbao prefer the home win, because the seventh in the classification is more difficult and more uncomfortable in front of the home crowd than in the distance.
Free fixed picks
For the Basque away, there is only one win in nine attempts. In addition, they conceded three quarters of all goals against someone else and only scored six goals in total, which in turn corresponds to the third weakest value of all La Liga clubs.

Coach Garitano, who relies on a somewhat getting used to the 5-3-2 system, which, as mentioned, has its strengths in defense, can draw on almost everything. Only Oscar de Marcos, captain Iker Muniain and scorer legend Aritz Aduriz struggled with minor injuries before the Christmas break, but could now return to the squad.

The Andalusians only conceded seven goals in eight home games so far and remained undefeated five times in a row before the unnecessary defeat against Villarreal (1: 2) (four wins, one draw).
