THE GAME
Anguish and concern, not only with the present, but above all with the future in the Santander League, is the feeling of the adept Che! Valencia is the 3rd most populous city in Spain, and this is the third best club in terms of historical classification in the Spanish league! It is also the 5th most qualified club in Spain and the 3rd best Spanish club, internationally qualified!We are talking about a huge club in Spain, but one of the worst stages of its long life! It is unthinkable with the investment made in the club, they are almost in demotion zone! But this is the reality, naked and raw, of a club that crosses, not only a crisis of results, but an identity crisis! It's a team under fire and very weak animally!
In this 23rd round, 4 points behind the relegation line, also receives the historic Athletic de Bilbao. The Basca team is always a difficult opponent, it is 8th place and has 35 points, 15 more than Valencia! Difficult life for the Valencia of Nani and Cancelo, two extraordinary players, but who also live immersed in the crisis of the club! The quality is there, it remains to be seen if, in Mestalla, supporters will support the team for a triumph that is vital to kick the crisis!

THE BETS OF OUR EXPERTS
This game, once filled, like an egg, the imposing Mestalla! We are talking about two clubs of the most qualified in Spain, just after Real Madrid and Barcelona! Valencia is an unknown, not by its staff, which has enormous quality, but by the emotional side.
The team does not like the management of the club and there is a divorce between the fans and the team! Lots of contestation and nerves at the edge of the skin, are never a good starting point for victory. On the other side is a quiet and well-crafted team - Valencia suffer many goals even at home and Athletic have a great attack. There will be at least 2 goals in the game!
