Under 2.5 Match Goals

Reason for tip

There have been fewer than three goals in 10 of the last 11 meetings between these two sides, so they don’t generally tend to provide much excitement in the final third, while Valencia netted just four times in their final seven away league games in 2021/22 and Bilbao had a 0-0 draw on the opening day of the season

Draw 1-1

Reason for tip

Valencia only picked up five away wins last season, but they also drew seven, so made themselves tough to beat, while there have been four stalemates in the most recent six meetings between the pair

Athletic Bilbao vs Valencia Predictions

  • There were only 47 goals in Athletic Bilbao’s 19 home games last year
  • Valencia have netted just four times in their last seven away La Liga matches
  • 10 of the last 11 meetings between these two sides have contained fewer than three goals

Athletic hoping to get off the mark

A 0-0 draw against Mallorca last week means Athletic Bilbao haven’t got off to the worst start in La Liga, but they know they need to start scoring more goals to push up the table.

That was a first game in charge for Ernesto Valverde, who takes charge of a team who also played out a 0-0 stalemate with Valencia back in May.

Indeed, 10 of the last 11 meetings between the two sides have contained fewer than three goals, while Bilbao netted just 29 times in their 19 home La Liga fixtures in 2021/22.

Valencia looking for second win on the spin

Valencia have started the season with a 1-0 victory at home to Girona last week, their third clean sheet in their last five La Liga outings

That was also a first game in charge for Gennaro Gattuso and he needs to improve on the club’s record away from home last season, when they picked up just five victories.

Goals were a big problem for Valencia, as they netted just four times in their final seven away league fixtures, and just 22 over the course of the season.

I predict there will be under three goals in this game, but the two teams could be tough to split, so 1-1 is my correct score prediction.
