Valencia Athletic Club betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game places two teams that occupy similar positions in the league table and for this reason a very balanced game with chances of goals is expected. On the one hand, Athletic Bilbao has a quality squad, on the other, a Valencia that is very dangerous on the counterattack. That said, and taking into account all these factors, betting in favor of the "both teams score - Yes’’ is a good option.
