Ibai Gómez with a volley shot from the left side of the Sevilla area, goes wide past the right post!

Bilbao with several long balls but they can't force their way into the Sevilla area.

Corner for Bilbao from the right side. Gorka Iraizoz helps his team inside the Sevilla area and then avoid a counter chance himself with a sliding tackle in the midfield! Brilliant work by the guest goalkeeper!

Negredo with a lob from the left side of the Bilbao area, goes wide!

Four minutes are added to the match.

Far too long ball by the guests who lose valuable time during the following goal kick for Sevilla.

Ibai Gómez with a volley shot from about 20 metres, goes wide.

Reyes with the ball 20 metres in front of the Bilbao net but instead of trying it himself with a shot he gave a pass to Alberto Moreno who waited on the left side of the guest area and wasn't able to controll the ball.

Very long ball by Reyes for Negredo who tried it with a shot from the left side of the guest area but he just hit the side netting.

Reyes with a pass back to the border of the 18-yard box and from there Rakitic tried it with a direct shot that went over the crossbar a couple of metres.

After a great run by Alvaro Moreno over the left wing the ball came to Negredo who was brought down in the Bilbao area by the new man Ramalho but no penalty says the referee!

Distance shot by Laporte that goes wide significantly. But finally a bit of football again.

The corner from the left side hit the hand of Aduriz and the hosts protested a possible second yellow card but the referee led the game continue.

De Marcos wins a corner for the guests on the left wing.

Rakitic once more with a through ball for Negredo who from the border of the guest area tried it with a lob but the ball went ober the net.

Distance shot by Bilbao, goes just wide.

Kondogbia with a distance shot from about 25 metres but it goes wide several metres past the right post.

Negredo received a through ball by Rakitic inside the guest area, went through two defenders but instead of trying it with a direct shot towards the right bottom corner he tried it with another dribbling and lost the ball.

Reyes with a free kick from short distance into the legs of Laporte who goes down immidiately. Afterwards several members of the Sevilla coaching staff showed aggressive behaviour and got a last warning by the referee. Mateu Lahoz better pays attention or the match goes out of his controll.

Ibai Gómez goes down very easily at the right side of the Sevilla area. Had more of a dive than a foul and so he should be lucky not to have been booked for this.

A lot of action in front of the goals at the start of the second half. Let's hope it stays this way.

De Marcos with a cross-pass from the right wing but his team colleagues inside the Sevilla area can't use this.

Big solo run by Mikel San José whose shot from 10 metres distance was blocked by the last defender. He rather should have played the ball to the right where Ibai Gómez waited...

Two minutes are added to the first half.

The match has calmed down significantly in the last moments. Both teams wait for the half time break.

Direct free kick by Rakitic, one metre high over the crossbar.

Reyes and Negredo with a one-two but the last ball was too fast for Reyes so that guest goalkeeper Iraizoz could clear the situation. There was more possible for the home side in this attack.

The match continues with a lot of misdirected passes by both teams in the midfield.

After a long ball Gurpegi clears the situation with a header back to his goalkeeper just before Negredo can reach it.

Great cross with the outside of the foot from the right wing by an Athletic player but the ball was just a bit too high for Llorente who waited at the penalty shot point.

Corner from the left side for Sevilla but the ball is headed out of the dangerous zone by the guest defense easily.

What a waste by Fernando Llorente! The Athletic forward first tried it in the 1-on-1 with a defender on the right side of the Sevilla area. The ball then came to a team colleague whose shot was blocked before again Llorente had the chance but instead of trying it with a shot from just seven metres distance he tried to go past another defender and lost the ball....

De Marcos wins the ball on the right wing and gives a great pass for Ibai Gómez who tries it with the outside of his right foot from the border of the Sevilla area. The very optimistic shot is blocked by a defender.

Fernando Llorente with a run inside the Sevilla area but in the last moment he is stopped by a sliding tackle.

Strong run by Negredo on the left wing who jumps over his opponent who tried to stop him with a sliding tackle but then his last pass was intercepted by a defender.

So far the Sevilla defense makes a good impression but they use a lot of fouls in the midfield.

The guests intensify their efforts but they have problems to get deep into the Sevilla half.

De Marcos with a shot for Bilbao from about 20 metres distance that goes one metre past the left post.

Heavy crash between Coke and Muinain in an aerial duel. Both receive attention by the medical staff but can continue.

Kondogbia goes down inside the guest area in the 1-on-1 with Iraizoz. There was a little touch but by far not enough for a penalty shot so that the referee decided to let the play continue but without a card for the Sevilla player as it also wasn't a 100% dive.

Alberto with a shot from the second row after a corner from the left side he had earned himself for his team.

Rakitic is back on the pitch but still has problems while running. The game should continue for him though.

Rakitic received a little kick from behind in the midfield but it seems it's worse as he needs attention by the medical staff outside of the pitch.

Lob into the guest area for Negredo but the ball was a metre too high so that the Sevilla forward had no chance at all to get it.

The guests from Bilbao try to find into the match but make an insecure impression so far.

The guests from Bilbao don't hide and have their first attack already but instead of creating danger they ran into a counter themselves which they stopped in time.

Starting lineups:

Sevilla FC: Beto – Coke, Fazio, F. Navarro, A. Moreno – Medel, Kondogbia – Del Moral, Rakitic, Reyes – Negredo

Athletic Bilbao: Iraizoz – Laporte, Ekiza, Gurpegi – De Marcos, Ander, San José, Iraola – Muniain, F. Llorente, I. Gómez

Referees: Mateu Lahoz

Sevilla FC are 11th in Primera División with 38 points in 29 games and far away from good and evil in the table. Today's opponents Athletic Bilbao are 14th with 35 points and should also play in the Spanish top league next season with an 11-point advantage towards the relegation zone.

Sevilla had six consecutive home wins but they suffer from their weak away record. On the other side Athletic won three of their last four matches with the minimum score of 1-0 against CA Osasuna, Valencia CF and Granada CF while they lost with the same results in Getafe.

The head-to-head record between the two teams is very balanced with a small advantage for Sevilla. The last four league matches though were all won by Bilbao. If Sevilla can continue their home winning streak or if Bilbao can continue with their positive trend, we'll see soon!

Welcome. Game starts at 21:00 GMT / 22:00 CET.
