Valencia - Athletic Bilbao betting tips and odds

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating Valencia on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Things are looking problematic for the visiting side. They are going up against a stronger team which also has a home pitch advantage. Victory is still within reach – they’ll just have to work harder than usual to get it.

A Girona defeat is something Valencia want to make a swift return from. This narrow loss from the previous round of the La Liga came after a tied first half which had the host believing they might get at least a point in front of their home support.

Athletic Bilbao’s previous outing was a decent performance on their end. They curtly earned three points against Cádiz by maintaining a lead throughout the match. The 1.44 made them huge favourites so the result didn’t come as much of a surprise.

Valencia fans are hoping for a better showing than what they’ve been given lately. Namely, their team is on a 3-game losing streak.

The season is now in full swing, and Valencia are currently placed 17th in the standings. Such results are mediocre at best – and experts are wondering if they’re heading for the relegation zone. There are just 1 point between them and the zone and Athletic Bilbao will be a difficult clash.

As part of multiple competitions, Valencia and The Lions already played more than one game this season. Athletic Bilbao won all of them so far, firmly establishing themselves as the favourites going into the game on Saturday.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Betsson priced at 1.7 odds.
