***Athletic Bilbao vs Sevilla Match Preview***

The burners are on for Sevilla as they look to salvage the best possible results towards the climax of this season as they look to travel to San Mamés to face Athletic Bilbao on Thursday night.

Bilbao is a point away from securing a place in Europe, standing 7th in the La Liga table. In their last five matches, Ernesto Valverde has impressed everyone by winning four games, drawing one.

The Williams brothers have unsurprisingly been the best performers of their season, as Nico Williams has scored six goals with five assists in the league. Nico's older brother Inaki has scored three magnificent goals in his last three games, taking his total tally to eight goals with two assists.

As the season draws to a close, the Basques will be more hungry to climb by two places to overthrow Real Betis from 5th in order to secure the possibility of attaining a berth in the UEFA Europa League. It is an achievable target, as they are only three points behind the Green-and-Whites, who have recently started to falter with their performances.

Sevilla is crawling towards the midtable spots, hoping to reach the upper echelons of the top half. A last-minute victory courtesy of Youssef En-Nesyri salvaged a critical result for the Rojiblancos as they racked up three vital points taking their tally to two wins with a loss and a draw in their last five La Lig outings.

José Luis Mendilibar's side now stands 12th in the league table, with 38 points in the bag. They remain two points behind 10th-placed Rayo Vallecano. Los Nervionenses has to divert their attention equally in competing within the league while also preparing for a crucial Europa League semi-final tie against Juventus next month.

The 3-0 victory against English giants Manchester United will fare well with the squad in terms of boosting their confidence after a particularly "uneventful" start to this season. Sacking Jorge Sampaoli eventually turned out to

燃烧者正在前往塞维利亚，他们希望在本赛季的高潮前挽救最好的结果，因为他们将在周四晚上前往圣马姆萨斯面对毕尔巴鄂竞技。

毕尔巴鄂目前在西甲排名第七，离欧战席位还有一分之遥。在最近的五场比赛中，巴尔韦德以四胜一平的成绩给所有人留下了深刻的印象。

威廉姆斯兄弟不出所料地成为本赛季表现最好的球队，尼科·威廉姆斯在联赛中打进6球，送出5次助攻。尼科的哥哥伊纳基在最近的三场比赛中打进了三粒精彩的进球，他的总进球数达到了8球，并有2次助攻。

随着赛季接近尾声，巴斯克人将更加渴望上升两名，从第5名推翻皇家贝蒂斯，以确保获得欧联杯席位的可能性。这是一个可以实现的目标，因为他们只落后绿白军团3分，而绿白军团最近的表现开始有所下滑。

塞维利亚正在向中游位置爬行，希望能够进入上半区的上层梯队。恩-内塞里在最后一刻的胜利为罗希布兰科斯挽回了一场关键的比赛，他们在过去五场西甲联赛中取得了两胜一负一平的战绩。

何塞·路易斯·门德里巴尔的球队目前在联赛积分榜上排名第12位，得到38分。他们仍然落后排名第十的巴列卡诺两分。米兰人必须将他们的注意力转移到联赛的竞争上，同时还要为下个月对阵尤文图斯的欧联杯半决赛做准备。

3-0战胜英格兰豪门曼联的比赛将会让球队在本赛季“平淡无奇”的开局后重拾信心。解雇豪尔赫·桑保利最终证明
