Athletic Bilbao
Contents
- Competition: LaLiga
- Date: 20.01.2024
- Kickoff: 17:30 UTC / 18:30 CET
- Venue: Estadio de Mestalla (Valencia)
Valencia’s unexpected elimination from this season’s Copa Del Rey following a home defeat against Celta Vigo yesterday has shifted their full attention to LaLiga. They now aim to secure positions that could potentially lead to European competitions. Currently, Valencia is trailing Real Sociedad, the 6th place team, by 3 points. The Mestalla-based club has recently shown promising form, winning their last three matches and netting a total of eight goals. This improvement in their attacking prowess could pose a threat to all their rivals.
Athletic Bilbao, unlike their competitors, triumphed in the Copa Del Rey with a 2-0 victory over Alaves. This marked their sixth straight win, boosting their standing in the Champions League. Currently, Bilbao is leading Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, but with plenty of games left, the race for the title and Champions League spot is still wide open. Athletic Bilbao boasts a strong team that poses a threat to all league teams.
Valencia vs Athletic Bilbao Pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
Valencia’s recent efficiency is due to a marginally more aggressive formation, as they stand to lose little but gain much towards the championship’s end. They face a formidable opponent in Ath Bilbao, who, despite a robust defense, have conceded a goal in nine of their last ten matches at this stadium. The 21st round of LaLiga promises an exciting match as both teams are in top form and goals should be plentiful. Our bet is on both teams to score.
