SEV vs ATH Dream11 Prediction: Sevilla look to emulate the same pristine performances in the new year as well.
Where the battle for the La Liga 2019-20 title was between Barcelona and Real Madrid for a good period of 2019, Sevilla managed to punch above their weight to throw themselves in the reckoning as well. Making massive strides to climb all the way into third spot, the club finds itself just the 5 points behind Barcelona after 18 game weeks.
Massively lauded and hailed for the flurry of wins they have rolled in, Sevilla will be looking to embark on the same rapturous display in 2020 as well when they take on Athletic Bilbao in their first encounter of the year. The side are coming into this one with a 2-0 win over Mallorca the last time around, a performance which saw them curtail a languid spree of two winless encounters.
Elsewhere, for Athletic Bilbao, this outing will be a real test of their repertoire of world-class player. They are currently winless in three matches to sit in 7 th place but were given a massive thrust with a 0-0 draw against Real Madrid the last time around, a performance they’ll be looking to emanate come today as well.

Dream11 Picks
SEV vs ATH Dream11 Goal-keeper
His side’s safeguard against Real Madrid, had it not been for Unai Simon’s august display, Athletic Bilbao would have found it improbable to put their opposition to bed to make the shot stopper an instant pick for this one.
SEV vs ATH Dream11 Defenders
Sevilla have faltered defensively off late but they are coming off against a side today which has failed to score across its previous two encounters. And with the club having made for a relatively astute defensive unit across the course of the league with just the 17 goals allowed in 18 matches, another cleansheet is a realistic proposition for Sevilla in this one.
It sees us indulge in the services of both Jules Kounde and Diego Carlos for the day while from Athletic Bilbao we are moving in with Inigo Martinez after the defender played a stellar role in shutting out Real Madrid the last time around.
SEV vs ATH Dream11 Mid-fielders
Having left opposition aghast and in angst with their articulate attacking sorties, Sevilla were always going to find heavy representation in this docket of our Dream 11 side. We are moving in with their goal scorer with the 5 goals and 1 assist, Lucas Ocampos as the first pick with the player being the spearhead of their enthralling attacking travails.
Joan Jordan will be partnering him up for the upcoming encounter along with Fernando Franciso Reges, a seamless blend of attack and defence from the side. Elsewhere, we are getting in Unai Lopez and Dani Garcia from the opposition given the duo’s willingness to keep marauding down the park relentlessly and perturb defences.
SEV vs ATH Dream11 Strikers
If Athletic Bilbao are to have any chance of mustering up a goal on the day, the side will need Raul Garcia-Ecudero to torch his way down the park and pull off the same exceptional displays which have seen him garner p the 5 goals and 1 assist. The side’s leading goal scorer is picked up by us for this one while from the opposition, Nolito will be bringing an end to our set of picks for the day.
