Fatigue will be a BIG disadvantage for Sevilla tomorrow, and a HUGE advantage for Bilbao, as they had a lot of time to prepare for this match and will come fresh and motivated as ever. Also, playing in San Mames of course, EXTRA-HUGE advantage.
Considering those alone, which are CRUCIAL parts of tomorrow's '4th spot final', Bilbao are the favorites. Regarding the favorite in paper (players)... there is none truly. Both teams are quite in form lately, and I'm expecting a 'helluva' match !
Bilbao should not be satisfied with a draw as they are more probably to drop points considering they have difficult fixtures remaining, while a loss for Sevilla would mean bye-bye 4th spot for this season.
May the best win !

Really feeling tense about this. The team need to be at their best and dominate with the San Mames roaring behind them now more than ever. We will need Aduriz to continue his heroics but Susaeta/Muniain to give dynamic transition forward as well.
Muniain did well vs Barca but Susaeta had an off game, hope he picks things back up this time. It doesn't help that we lost key playes like Ibai and Gurpegi to injuries.
Oh and Valverde: PLEASE do not play De Marcos at RB. He was the reason our backline was destabilized so often against Barca. Iraola and Balenziaga as fullbacks give us security in counters and quick transitions.

Prepare to lose
I will
thanks, for what its worth Sevilla did have some moments of danger especially when Jairo came on (such a tricky player). They've had a great season despite some massive changes, Emery can make this team into a great success with some more time.As for Athletic, great performance from all the players that we needed to step up. Iturraspe playing like one of the best CM's in La Liga, Muniain creating havoc with his relentless effort, and Iraola providing the crosses that Alves wishes he could
. Laporte had a good game but Sevilla's expertise at longballs caught him off guard a few times.

Is it true Bilbao never negotiate in transfers, and can only sell their players if another team activates their release clause? somebody mentioned this to me, and it seemed a bit far fetched.
