Sevilla v Atheltic Bilbao – 3.15pm (Olly)
6th vs 7th (3 points separates the 2 teams)
Bilbao can’t get 6th though as the H2H are the same (both won 2-0) therefore it goes to GD and Sevilla have a far superior Goal Difference

4 of the last 5 games for Sevilla have NOT seen BTTS
3 of the last 5 games for Bilbao have NOT seen BTTS
Over 2.5 Goals has also only happened once in their last 6 meetings
Think this will be super tight too.
Tip: BTTS NO (2.38) / Under 2.5 Goals (2.3) – RED
Score: 1-0
