Athletic Bilbao-Valencia is a match on the 11th day of La Liga and is played on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. Odds, predictions, TV and streaming.
The defeat against Barcelona last week came undeservedly. Valverde’s Athletic Bilbao showed, once again, that they have important qualities, not only technical, but also character. The standings after all say this: sixth place with 17 points and a chance to get closer to those in front. And everything suggests that it will be, indeed, so.
Yes, it will probably go like this despite the fact that Valencia after the break and after a long period of tarnishing found victory again against Cadiz at home. But in this league start as often in recent years the visiting lineup has hardly been able to find the continuity that would be needed to make a top championship. Needless to say, this is not the Valencia that managed to reach the Champions League final in the early 2000s. One has to get used by now to a team that every year tries to give its best for an important championship but that risks as it did last year, to find itself in the lower zones of the ranking and to play for salvation until the end.
In short, this afternoon’s race seems to be well headed toward a fairly predictable outcome.
The Prediction
A match that will give an important victory to Athletic Bilbao in a match that could also give at least three goals overall. But about who will take the three points there is really very little doubt.
