Athletic Bilbao’s last outing was abandoned after just 15 minutes, and they will be taking on Valencia next. Facing off in Valencia, the hosts will be looking to leap out of the bottom three, while Bilbao look to rise higher in the upper half. Villarreal will be our pick in this prediction as they come here unbeaten in four games.
Valencia’s rebuild has been slow, and the team comes into this match sitting a point adrift of safety. Now under new manager Javier Aguirre, they managed a 2-2 draw with Racing Santander last time out.
A point and two goals are a welcome break, and Los Che will hope for more here, having earlier suffered five defeats in seven outings
Athletic Club comes here having had an extended rest and with two games in hand. If they use this opportunity well, they could cement their top half place.
Last season they lost home and away against Valencia and will hope to do better this time. That same season the two sides also faced off in the Copa del Rey, with Athletic winning the cup game.
Generally, Athletic have done well in this fixture and look likely to emerge winners here too. In their last four outings, Athletic are unbeaten, and among the teams they defeated here was second-placed Atletico Madrid.
Los Leones will be inspired for this match, having also won their latest away game, at Celta Vigo.

Our Valencia vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction
Valencia are rebuilding, and will want to extend their recent positives here. However, facing off with a much more rested Athletic Bilbao side makes this a tough outing even as they play at home. The hosts are not only winless at home this season but are also coming here off the back of a run of five losses in the last seven matches.
Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao will arrive for this game having gone unbeaten in four, with two wins therein. They have also beaten Valencia five times in their last 10 meetings. Our prediction for Valencia v Athletic Bilbao is that Athletic Bilbao wins.
