Sevilla may be in the driving seat after the 2-1 triumph at San Mames, but they know all too well that the job is not nearly finished.

Los Leones have the potential to hurt their league opponents at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, so chances are we will be in for another cracking encounter.

Considering the serious financial problems the club had to deal with, Sevilla did well to keep their domestic results respectable, while enjoying plenty of success in Europe.

Los Rojiblancos not only won back to back Europa League trophies, but now have a decent chance of making it three in a row.

Sevilla did a great job in the first leg against Athletic, winning 2-1 at San Mames, and they are now available at 2.10 (11/10) to win the return match as well.

It is clear that los Rojiblancos are currently fully focused on the Europa League campaign, having suffered three successive losses in La Liga, and coach Unai Emery did rest several first team regulars in weekend’s clash with Valencia.

Sevilla will have to make do without playmaker Ever Banega, who misses out through suspension, with Vicente Iborra expected to replace him.

Daniel Carrico should be back to the side, while Timothee Kolodziejczak should deputise for Benoit Tremoulinas at left-back.

Probable starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Soria – Coke, Rami, Carrico, Kolodziejczak – N’Zonzi, Krychowiak – Vitolo, Iborra, Krohn-Dehli – Gameiro.

Since they cannot actually mount a serious title challenge in La Liga, Athletic always give their best in Copa del Rey and European competitions, as the club remain hungry for trophies.

Los Leones came really close to winning both of those titles in recent years, only to lose in the final, and they plan to make things right in the foreseeable future.

Despite taking the lead against one of La Liga’s worst travellers, Athletic had to settle for a 2-1 loss in the first leg, but that does not mean they will not be very motivated to win the return match.

Los Leones won three of last four away fixtures in the competition, while they also have three wins in last five away games in La Liga, which is enough to suggest they are not without chances here.

The good news is that Inaki Williams will be fit to play after the tests showed his thigh injury was not as serious as first feared.

Aymeric Laporte and Sabin Merino continue to miss out, but key midfielder Raul Garcia returns after missing the first leg through suspension.

Probable starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Iago – De Marcos, Boveda, Etxeita, Balenziaga – San Jose, Benat – Williams, Garcia, Muniain – Aduriz.
