Valencia - Ath Bilbao Prediction, Picks and Taips
Valencia and Athletic Bilbao meet in a match in the 33rd round of La Liga. The match will be played on Wednesday, at 18:30, at the Estadio de Mestalla, without spectators.
Since the resumption of the season, Valencia has shown a fairly modest football, and this is reflected in the results. In the last five stages, the "bats" achieved only one success and suffered three defeats, all away and without a goal. However, Valencia has a remarkable career at home, being only one of the three teams that did not know the taste of defeat this season of La Liga, the other two being Barcelona and Real Madrid.
The hosts in this match occupy the 8th position, with 46 points, having only one point over the opponent in this duel. The two are at one, respectively two points of the last European place, currently occupied by Real Sociedad, the team that has four defeats in a row.
Athletic did much better since the restart of the season, obtaining eight points in the last five stages. The only failure suffered during this period was in Barcelona, where the hosts scored in the 71st minute, through Ivan Rakitic. The trips are not the strong point of the Bilbao team, which has only two victories this season (eight draws and six defeats).
Even though they are recognized for their defensive strength, Athletic have offered spectacular away matches. The matches played on foreign field by Bilbao offered, on average, 2.1 goals per match, an average that we expect to maintain even after the dispute at the Estadio de Mestalla.
