Our latest Athletic Bilbao vs Valencia betting predictions and picks
If you are looking for the best La Liga betting tips, including our top picks for Athletic Bilbao vs Valencia, you came to the right place:
Athletic Bilbao to Win
Even though Valencia got the best of Athletic Bilbao in Copa del Rey semi-finals, we expect the Basque team to win the game on Saturday, for a couple of reasons.
First, they are playing at home, which is always a huge advantage for any team, especially for Athletic with their passionate fans. Secondly, they need the points to stay in the race for seventh place in the standings and a spot in Europa Conference League, while Valencia is pretty much stuck in the middle of the standings.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
Both teams have scored in four of the previous five h2h meetings between Athletic Bilbao and Valencia, so we can see that being the case once again on Saturday.
In addition to this, both teams scored in 50% of all Athletic Bilbao matches in the league until now, while the same thing happened in a whopping 68% of all Valencia games in La Liga this season.

Athletic Bilbao vs Valencia – Team news, probable lineups, and more
We've already seen exciting duels between these teams in Copa del Rey, so we expect more of the same now. Here's a closer look at the teams:
Athletic Bilbao
With three wins, two draws, and one loss in the last six games in the league, Athletic Bilbao is clearly in very good form. Thanks to this, they are now just one point behind Villarreal who is in seventh place in the standings, which is a spot that leads to Europa Conference League. So, Athletic Bilbao has a nice chance to play European football next season if they can keep their run going.
Athletic will again be without Oihan Sancet and Asier Villalibre through injuries, but the rest of the team is in good shape and ready for another game against Valencia.
Athletic Bilbao predicted lineup:
Simon – De Marcos, Yeray, Martinez, Yuri – N. Williams, D. Garcia, Vesga, Muniain – I. Williams, R. Garcia
Valencia
The Bats are not among the top teams in Spain for a while now, but this season they had some good performances in the league and they reached the final of Copa del Rey, which is their biggest success in recent years. So, overall, they can be happy with the season, even though they will not be playing in Europe next season since they lost in the cup final and they are tenth in La Liga.
When it comes to team news, Jose Gaya will be on the sidelines after being sent off against Levante last weekend. Also, Toni Lato will likely miss the game through injury.
Valencia predicted lineup:
Mamardashvili – Correia, Diakhaby, Paulista, Alderete – Racic, Guillamon, Soler – Duro, Gomez, Guedes
