Valladolid vs Athletic Bilbao Predictions

• The teams have kept just one clean sheet between them in 15 combined La Liga games this term.
• Both teams have scored in six of the last seven league meetings between the pair.
• The hosts are winless this season (D3, L5) while Bilbao have lost three of their four away games.

Confidence Low in Both Sides

Neither of these sides can be fancied to land the spoils at Jose Zorrilla this Sunday, with hosts Valladolid bottom of the table and visitors Bilbao struggling on the road.

Pucela are already four points adrift of safety following last weekend’s 2-0 defeat at Villarreal, a result which made it three draws and five defeats in eight for Sergio’s side.

Defensively sound last season en route to a solid 13^th placed finish, the Castile and Leon outfit have fallen apart at the back this term with 13 goals conceded already and zero clean sheets maintained.

However, they’ll be hopeful of getting something from this weekend’s clash against a Bilbao side who have lost three from four on the road so far.

Back to back home victories have hauled Los Leones up to mid-table, but they’ve been woeful on their travels including when beaten 1-0 at Osasuna last time out.

Their away form balances out this fixture somewhat and we’re tentatively opting for a 1-1 correct score. The match betting is ignored for our main tip, though, where we feel both teams to score merits a punt.

Both sides have been goal-shy this term with just 11 netted between them, but a single clean sheet in 15 combined outings offers hope that the teams can find some joy in attack. Furthermore, both have struck in six of the last seven league meetings and we fancy that trend to continue here.
