Valencia vs Athletic Bilbao predictions and odds: Dark clouds covered
Despite owning in the squad some names like José Gayà, Gabriel Paulista, Justin Kluivert and especially Edison Cavania, Valencia is playing very disappointingly. After 20 rounds, "Bats" only won 5 times with the triumph song, while 10 times fell into empty hands (remaining 5 draws).
It is worth mentioning that, despite having "cut off" coach Gennaro Gattuso, Valencia's performance has not only not improved but also gone down miserably. Under the "new general" Vovo, the "bats" lost 2 matches, against Real Madrid and Girona respectively.
Thus, if including the last period under coach Gattuso, the white team only collected 1/18 maximum points in the last 6 rounds. As a result, they fell to 17th place on the chart, right above the group holding the red light.
In the context of dark clouds covering the Mestalla sky, it is likely that Valencia will be empty-handed before Athletic Bilbao, the team that has just defeated Cadiz with a score of 4-1, thereby narrowing the gap with the top 4 to 6. point. It should be known that Athletic Bilbao has beaten Valencia twice this season, 1 in La Liga and 1 in the King's Cup.
