Athletic Bilbao vs Sevilla match prediction 17 August 2025

Despite the weak results in the test matches, we believe that the Basques will achieve a positive result tomorrow, i.e. they will win. Athletic had very strong rivals such as Arsenal and Liverpool, the Sevilla list will be simpler. The Southerners have a new head coach, but there is practically no updated squad, with which the Southerners have been unable to show anything for two seasons. And the field factor plays a crucial role in this confrontation. So we are paired on the side of the home team, who, in our opinion, will win in the low-scoring match.

Our main prediction: is W1 + Total Under 3.5 for a coefficient of 2.10 in the betway bookmaker.

Our betting tip on the match: is Handicap 1 (-0.75) for a coefficient 1.82 in the 1xbet bookmaker.

Our final betting tip on the match: is Correct Score 2:0 for a coefficient of 6.50 in the bet365 bookmaker.
