How Athletic club almost lost a nice game they had started against Sevilla was one of my craziest moments of the weekend. Athletic club opened the scoreline with a spot kick from the Spanish wonder kid, Nico Williams which gave the game a new wave. A second strike from Sannadi in the 43rd minutes made me feel the game has ended in first half before a suprise comeback to a 2-2 draw by Sevilla in the 60th and 72nd minutes and also took over the control of the game. A late 81st strike from Navaro saved the Athletic club.
I guess the coaches are taking note of the errors. I used to love Sevilla but since after winning my heart in the last Euro, I have become a Nico Williams lover and wouldn't love to see that team fumble. Athletic club has been a close rival of Sevilla for a long time and only narrowly wins in most cases with only Sevilla winning once in their last 5 games out of a 1-0 victory. Athletic club next game would be against Rayo vallecano and I'm sure it's going to be a 3-1 victory for the Athletics club.
The this match was indeed very tense. Sevilla employed a strategy that made things difficult for Bilbao in the second half, and Sevilla nearly won. Fortunately, Bilbao's players didn't succumb to Sevilla's pressure, and ultimately, despite the tension, Bilbao managed to win the match and earn their first three points. With this win, Bilbao can temporarily move into fifth place. I believe Bilbao must maintain this position. If they can't maintain their lead in fifth place, I don't think it's a good sign for Bilbao.
Meanwhile, as we know, Bilbao will face Rayo next week. I think even though many are currently predicting Bilbao to win this match, Bilbao still needs to be cautious when facing Rayo. Although Rayo isn't the overwhelming favorite, it's important to remember that Girona lost to Rayo in their first match. Therefore, Bilbao must remain cautious. Because I think Rayo could spring a surprise on Bilbao, I'd likely bet neither on Bilbao nor Rayo in that match. I'd probably just bet on BTTS, as I feel it's much safer.
