Athletic Bilbao vs Valladolid Predictions

• Six of Bilbao’s last eight games have produced under 2.5 goals.
• Five of Valladolid’s last six outings have generated under 2.5 goals.
• Less than three goals have been netted in 63% Bilbao’s home league games this term and in 81% Valladolid’s away trips.

Bilbao far from certainties to follow up

Athletic Bilbao pulled off a shock 2-1 win over leaders Atletico Madrid here at the weekend, though Marcelino’s side are still given the swerve at odds-on for this midweek clash against relegation battlers Valladolid.

Bilbao could struggle with the quick turnaround going into this fixture considering the hard yards which they put in against Los Colchoneros, while they’re hardly the most consistent outfit in Spain.

The victory brought an eight match winless streak to an end, but there’s no guarantee that they’ll follow up against a Valladolid side that have drawn four of their last six and four of their last five on the road.

Under 2.5 goals is the pick as this should be a scrap with the visitors fighting for their lives at the wrong end of the table. All but three of Pucela’s 16 away trips this season have produced under 2.5 goals, while less than three goals have been netted in six of Bilbao’s last eight and in ten of their 16 home league fixtures.

At the prices, a 1-1 draw appeals in the correct score market with Valladolid fancied to scrap their way to another precious point in their bid for survival.
