Athletic Club Valencia betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This is a match between two teams that have been campaigning very different so far in the Spanish Championship. While Valencia is among the top four, Athletic Bilbao appears in the second half of the qualifying table. The home team must continue to bet on the offside kicks, which is one of Valencia's defensive weaknesses, but needs to be very careful with the visiting attack, which stands out in the plays through the flanks, on the counterattacks and in the individual plays. Thus, Valencia seems able to win this match, but as they operate away, the draw is also a good betting option.

In the last match, they have won at home against Málaga by (2‑1), after in the previous match they have lost (2‑0) an away match against Atlético Madrid.

For the league, Athletic Club won 14 points out of 30 possible points, after 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses in the last 10 home matches.

In 25 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Athletic Bilbao comes for this match a little more relieved after having managed to win again in the Spanish Championship, thus stopping a sequence without wins that lasted six rounds, although in that period they only suffered two defeats. In their last match, the team played a balanced match and with few opportunities for both sides, and although they were behind on the scoreboard, they managed to turnaround in the first step. Before that match, the team had gone three rounds without rocking the opposing network, which explains why their offensive sector is among the eight weakest in the competition. Playing away, the team has won less than 50% of the points played, and in this condition, they own the worst attack. The coach Ziganda will probably organize the team in 4-2-3-1, with Susaeta standing out on the right flank.

Confirmed Lineup: Kepa Arrizabalaga, De Marcos, Saborit, Unai Núñez, Íñigo Martínez, Mikel San José, Susaeta, Beñat, Raúl García, Íñigo Córdoba, Aduriz.
Coach: M. García Toral.

The away team is currently in the 4th position of the league, with 49 points won, after 15 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Málaga, by (1‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Real Sociedad, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 11 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses at their stadium, with 36 goals scored and 16 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Valencia has a record of 6 wins and 4 losses, so they have won 18 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 8 of the last 12 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 25 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 12 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 6 of their 17 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Valencia came to bitter three consecutive defeats between the end of January and the beginning of February for the Spanish Championship, but now shows that they have managed to recover, considering that they come after three consecutive victories. The last of them occurred at home against Real Sociedad in a match where they had little possession and finished only six times, but still managed to leave the field with three points. As it has been possible to see in the last rounds, the offensive sector is having a great responsibility in the team's campaign, so much so that today it’s the third best in the competition, with an average of 1.96 scored goals per match. As a visiting team, the team owns the fourth best campaign, and in that condition, they only stopped shaking the opponent's net on two occasions. The 4-4-2 has been the standard scheme used by the coach, who should have no problems among the initial eleven.

Confirmed Lineup: Neto, Rúben Vezo, Gayá, Jeison Murillo, Gabriel Paulista, Dani Parejo, Francis Coquelin, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Ferrán Torres, Simone Zaza, Luciano Vietto.
Coach: Voro.
