With two games to go until the end of the season, Bilbao has achieved its goal: fourth place in the standings, or fifth at worst, and qualification for next season’s Champions League is in the bag.
Valencia, on the other hand, has 45 points, and if it didn’t have many teams ahead of it before the eighth-place team—only three points away—it could even think about qualifying for the Conference. Well, it must be said that there are six points up for grabs and some games that could help, so with this motivation in mind, it is clear that the hosts will try everything to take these three points.
After ten consecutive positive results, Valencia’s run came to an end last Tuesday at Alaves. It was a defeat that could undoubtedly prove costly, but as mentioned, it has not closed the door on a place in Europe. So the motivations, which are clearly different, will be decisive in this match and will certainly make the difference.
