The fixture against Sevilla FC, last home game of the year
The fixture against Sevilla FC, last home game of the year
The Andalusian team, currently sitting in the middle of the standings, are the last opponents the Lionesses will host in 2019
Half a month before the year ends, Athletic Club is playing against Sevilla FC their last home game of 2019 (the match against Sporting Club de Huelva on the road next week is the only one remaining). The statistics are not favourable at all for the Andalusian side. In the 8 fixtures held at Lezama, the Sevillian team have not managed to win any of them, having been defeated 6 times and drawing the other 2, with 31 goals conceded and only 5 scored.
Sevilla FC is sitting 10th in the table with 12 points after their one-goal margin win against Madrid CFF last weekend. Argentinian coach Cristian Toro manages a squad who feature three international Spanish goalkeepers, among a total of 9 international footballers who play for their respective national teams. The Andalusian side is versatile and tends to change their playing schemes during the games. Their players are skillful at controlling the midfield, being Virgi García their most outstanding example. In the forward position, American player Tony Payne and Russian footballer Kaprova are their best weapons.
The Lionesses are enjoying their best spell this season and they want to reward their supporters with a win at Lezama, all this before the new year begins with an important home game against FC Barcelona at San Mamés.
With injured players such as Jone Ibáñez, Ainhoa Tirapu and Marta Perea, together with Erika Vázquez y Garazi, who will not be available due to different soreness issues, Ángel Villacampa has selected 18 footballers for their clash against Sevilla FC: A. Leguina, A. De La Nava, A. Sierra, Moraza, Ainhoa A., Damaris, Nekane, María Díaz, Y. Corres, M. Oroz, Eunate, M. Unzué, L. García, Leia, V. Gimbert, Azkona, Oihane and Valdezate.
