Valladolid vs Athletic Bilbao Comments: Continuing the decline
Athletic Bilbao, after 2 consecutive victories against Cadiz and Valencia in February, went through 4 consecutive rounds with only draws and losses. Alternately, the Basque team was kicked out of the King's Cup by Osasuna after a 0-1 defeat.
On the rankings, Athletic Bilbao has dropped to 9th place, 5 points behind the group that won tickets to the European Cup. If they want to be left behind in the top 6 race, Athletic Bilbao will not be allowed to stumble in the next rounds.
The theory is that, but before Valladolid is in high form, it is likely that the Bilbao players will continue to have to receive one more defeat.
Accordingly, the home team José Zorrilla won 1 and drew 1 in the last 2 rounds, thereby creating a difference of 2 points more than the group holding the red light.
At home, Valladolid has won a total of 20 points, 1 point less than third place Atletico Madrid. In the last 3 matches, the purple shirt team won 2, drew 1. Notably, in the last season playing in La Liga, Valladolid defeated Athletic Bilbao 2-1 at home.
