Valencia and Athletic Club face each other at Estadio de Mestalla in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program.
Los Che have been having their ups and downs in the first half of the season, but seeing that several first-team regulars left the club in the summer, they are unlikely to represent Spain in European competitions next term. Important player Denis Cheryshev has been tested positive for coronavirus, but full-back Jose Gaya has overcome his injury.
It’s been a rare occasion in recent games that Valencia have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Los Che have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 8 goals in the process.
The Lions, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Celta Vigo, with the team dropping to 12th position in the standings. The Basques are eager to get back on course, but beating Valencia on the road is easier said than done. Even though Inigo Martinez is back from suspension, a share of spoils is on the cards.
The stats tell the story, and Athletic Bilbao have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 7 goals in all. At the back, Los Leones have clearly had some problems. Such a pattern might not be continued here, of course. Owing to a completely injury-free squad available for selection, Athletic Bilbao manager Gaizka Garitano doesn’t have any fitness concerns whatsoever ahead of this clash.

We predict a very even game and feel that Valencia may well find it hard to breach the defence of this Athletic Bilbao outfit who we think might get a goal themselves and run out victorious. We’re therefore seeing a very competitive encounter with a 1-1 final score at the end of the 90 minutes.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
