that was a really good prediction from him, Ath Bilbao are on fire this season, and Almeria aren't doing good at all, they failed to score in three matches before this one, they beat Sevilla and then couldn't even score after, this loss puts them in the danger zone, they obviously not ready for La Liga.
Bilbao played so far vs teams situated in the middle of the table. Even Sevilla isn't good as it used to be.. Of course Bilbao is a defiant team that gives headaches even for top teams but we have to see them vs Real Madrid, Barcelona and the other teams in the first places to judge how good are they.
They seem to want to make things better than the previous season because in the previous season they were also troublesome but towards the end of the season they experienced a decline in performance and what they are doing now is very good by continuing to be consistent at the beginning.
At the moment they are one of the good dark horses for La Liga. Regarding Sevilla maybe now they will not be the same as in previous seasons I think with their current form even though the league is still long but I doubt they can reach the top 4 again.
