Athletic Club vs Valencia Prediction

Athletic Club Form

Athletic Club beat Osasuna by 1-0, lost 3-2 against Atletico Madrid, before defeating Deportivo Alaves 2-4. Athletic Club managed a strong return of four wins from their previous six matches on home soil in the LaLiga. They drew none though, while losing twice in this series.

Valencia have a win and a draw to show from their last three matches. They first finished even in a 1-1 draw with Mallorca, before they won a game against Girona with a 2-1 scoreline.
