ATH vs SEV La Liga 2021-22 Preview:
Athletic Club are ready to host title challengers Sevilla in La Liga fixture on Saturday night at San Mames Barria. The Athletic side are without a win in their last 7 matches and Sevilla are looking to close the gap to league leaders Real Madrid. Both teams will be aiming for maximum points to climb in the table on Saturday.
Marcelino’s side have 5 points from the last 7 matches but all from draws. They also enter this fixture after a 0-0 draw against Getafe last weekend. Their next three opponents are Sevilla, Real Madrid, and Real Betis, so it will be tough gameweeks ahead for them.
Athletic Club sit at 9th position in the league table with just 21 points in 16 games. They have quality players within their ranks so this position may not satisfy fans, they need to finish in the top-six to qualify for continental football next season.
Second-placed Sevilla are the only strong contender this season who can challenge Real Madrid for the title race. They are still 8 points behind Real Madrid but have a game in hand so they can still chase their rivals. They enter this match after a 1-0 away defeat against RB Salzburg, which ended their Champions League campaign.
Sevilla are totally reliant on their defence this season. They have conceded just 11 goals in 15 fixtures, which are the lowest goals allowed. The same can not be said about the attack, with just 25 goals netted in. They have scored just 3 goals in the last 4 fixtures, which is a worrying issue for manager Julen Lopetegui.
Last season Athletic managed to win both home and away fixtures against Sevilla. So it will tough game for Sevilla, who will be needing three points at any cost to remain in the title race.

Top Picks for ATH vs SEV La Liga 2021-22 Dream11 Prediction and Fantasy Football Tips:
ATH
Iker Munian: Athletic skipper has been a creative force for them this season. Spanish left-winger has scored 2 goals only but has provided 6 assists this season. This is the reason why he is the most selected player on the Dream11 fantasy teams.
Raul Garcia: Veteran Spanish forward has scored 5 goals this season and has been one of the consistent players for Marcelino’s side. He is available for only 9.0 credits and will be a good choice for captain or vice-captain on your side on Saturday night.
SEV
Lucas Ocampos: Argentine winger has been in superb form lately for Sevilla. They have scored just 2 goals in their last three fixtures, all coming from Ocampos’ strikes. So his redemption in front of goals will be key against Athletic. He will be a sure pick for any fantasy team.
Rafa Mir: Young Spanish forward has been top goal scorer for Lopetegui’s side this season with 6 goals already. He has filled the shoes of regular star forward Youssef En-Nesyri, who is out injured.
