Omo, as dem two teams wan clash for Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán dis weekend, e go be like big Naija movie! Sevilla and Athletic things no dey work well for their side as dem don dey struggle for La Liga dis season.
Sevilla dey sit down for 14th position, just two points clear of relegation zone. Dem don collect 21 points from 20 matches, wey no too good abeg. Last season, dem narrowly escape relegation by just one point, and e be like say dis season na deja vu! From their last four matches, na only one point dem fit grab – na wah!
Meanwhile, Athletic dey chill for 10th position but no be say dem dey flex. With only 24 points, dem dey eye relegation like say dem wan follow bottom teams. Dem don play Champions League, Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup, so e go fit scatter their form for league. But sharp-sharp, dem don win Atalanta for Europe, so might just give dem small confidence before dis match.
Sevilla no fit showcase their best players dis weekend as injury and suspension don scatter their plans. Tanguy Nianzou, Alfon Gonzalez, and Ruben Vargas no go fit play. As for Athletic, dem self dey miss key players like Maroan Sannadi and Benat Prados because of injury. Na true wah!
For Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, dem don play 90 matches against each other, and Sevilla get better record, winning 51 times compared to Athletic’s 17. If dem fit follow dat pattern, na only draw or small win we fit expect!
As e be now, both teams dey need points pass anything. If Athletic fit collect three points, na im go blow the small hope wey Sevilla get of moving forward. Naija people, just grab your popcorn, as dis match dey ready to unfold like our everyday gist for street!
