Head to Head


Athletic Bilbao have a 27-19 advantage against Valencia in 67 meetings with 21 draws.

There have been 12 goals in the last four meetings between Bilbao and Valencia. 

Athletic Bilbao Form


Athletic Bilbao are winless in their last four matches, losing four, drawing one and conceding 11.

Bilbao ended pre-season with back-to-back losses against Aston Villa (3-2) and Stuttgart (4-0). Defensive issues continued early in the La Liga season as the Lions gave up a 1-0 lead to draw 1-1 with Getafe.

Ernesto Valverde’s side then lost 2-1 at Barcelona, allowing 2.42 XG at the Nou Camp. Oihan Sancet’s penalty cancelled out Barca’s opener but Bilbao shipped a second with 15 minutes remaining. 

Athletic Bilbao Injuries 


Forward Nico Williams was injured against Barcelona and remains an injury doubt.

Goalkeeper Unai Simon, defender Aitor Paredes and midfielder Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta are out due to injury.

Valencia Form


Valencia have failed to win in seven of their previous eight matches in all competitions. Rubén Baraja’s team are also winless in nine consecutive La Liga fixtures. 

The Che’s ended last season with two points from seven games and conceded 11. This run continued with a 2-1 opening-day home defeat to Barcelona.

Another loss came at Celta Vigo on Friday (3-1) where Valencia led through Diego López’s early strike. They allowed 1.31 XG in response, conceded twice before half time and let in a second just after the break.

Valencia Injuries 


Defensive duo Jose Gaya and Mouctar Diakhaby are unavailable due to injury. 

Goalkeeper Jaume Domenech and forwards Fran Perez and Sergi Canos are ruled out.

Verdict

Athletic Bilbao and Valencia have similar, long-term defensive problems and cannot keep the goals out. The struggling La Liga sides are in similar patchy form and more goals are expected at Estadio de San Mames.
