Sevilla vs Atletic Bilbao: LaLiga matchday 34 game preview

Sevilla are still the outsiders in the title race, but there is no question that Julen Lopetegui's side are in the hunt approaching the final straight. Sevilla are currently fourth in the LaLiga standings, sitting just six points behind leaders Atletico Madrid, who have played one more game. Lopetegui's men have won seven of their last eight in the league and each of their last five, including a 2-1 victory over Granada last time out, with Ivan Rakitic and Lucas Ocampos on the scoresheet.

On the other hand, Athletic Bilbao will enter Monday's contest off the back of a 2-2 draw with struggling Real Valladolid on Wednesday evening. Marcelinho's side are currently 10th in the LaLiga standings, with 42 points from 33 games. Athletic are only three points behind eighth-placed Granada, and they will be desperate to finish the season strongly, having lost two Copa del Rey finals last month to Real Sociedad and Barcelona respectively.
