Ah, my people! Na big wah wey dey happen for La Liga as Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao go clash for Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán this Saturday. Two teams wey no dey satisfy their fans with their current form, e be like say dem dey use leg dey follow relegation.
Sevilla dey sit down for 14th position for table, just two points away from relegation zone. Na to sabi say dem don win only six matches out of twenty this season, so e no too surprise say fans dey vex. Dem no fit hold it together as dem don loss 11, and thus one fit just use dem poor performance take dey cry for corner bar!
Last season, Sevilla almost go down finish, e be like say dem wan repeat that story dis year sef. Dey don collect only one point for their last four matches. See as dem don dey lose to Real Madrid, Levante, and Celta Vigo. Di only good news be say dem manage draw with Elche, but e no sweet like that one ogbonge win wey dem need.
Athletic Bilbao too no dey shine for di league as dem currently dey chill for 10th position. Last season dem finish for fourth, but now na struggle dem dey face. Dem don garner just 24 points from 20 matches, and na only five points dem dey ahead of relegation zone. Di teams dey play Champions League too, so dem dey stretched thin like oshodi road!
Even though dem manage shine for Europe as dem beat Atalanta 3-2 recently, dem no fit carry that mojo enter La Liga as dem don only collect one win for di last six league matches. Na wah o! Dis match fit really determine who fit even show small fight against relegation, because both teams dey face serious injury and suspension wahala.
For Sevilla, dem go miss some important players like Tanguy Nianzou and Alfon Gonzalez due to injury. Others like Cesar Azpilicueta and Alexis Sanchez dey face fitness test to see if dem fit play. Make we just say dem don really get wahala as dem dey prepare for dis match.
Athletic sef no dey better as dem get their own injury problems. Players like Maroan Sannadi and Benat Prados dey miss out, and Laporte dey face doubt. To make matta worse, dem dey miss Gorka Guruzeta and Inigo Lekue because dem don collect yellow card suspension.
As dem dey prepare for clash, e fit be say both coaches go just dey scratch their head to find players wey dey fit feature. Both sides go need every point wey dem fit gather, because e dey look like say relegation fit just dey wait for dem outside!
Looking at di match, I go say na draw wey go happen, because both teams no dey too strong right now. Sevilla get home advantage, but with di way dem dey perform lately, you no fit put your money down for dem. All eyes go dey on dis match, because dis be crucial corner for dem!
