Ath Bilbao vs Valencia Prediction & Betting Tips (28 August)

5th in the last edition of LaLiga, we cannot say that Bilbao started off perfectly having been thwarted by Getafe at home during the first day 1-1 then beaten in the clash last Saturday against Barça at Montjuic 2- 1. Results of the races, not the slightest victory and already a certain obligation to win to reassure oneself in the Basque house. The start is also very difficult for the Ché club which also lost to Barça on the first day at the Mestalla 1- 2 before finally succumbing quite strangely on the pitch of Celta Vigo last weekend 3-1.

0 points on the clock for Valencia who will also have to quickly find the solution in order to stay in the race for the first half of the table although these are "only" the first matches of the season.

There are people on the balcony of the Athletic Club infirmary. Already, rookie Djalo (Braga) is injured and has still not played for his first minutes in an official match. Injury also to Paredes (important), Galarreta (midfield, rotation), Serrano (return from loan), without forgetting the starting goalkeeper Unai Simon (no return before December). Furthermore, it is the young goalkeeper Padilla (20 years old) who occupies the bars. Note that Nico Williams would be slightly weakened in the lower part of the body but he should hold his place as he did not win a duel against Jules Koundé on Saturday evening. To somewhat evoke the Bilbao transfer window, Imanol Garcia went to Sparta Prague while Unai Nunez signed for Celta Vigo and midfielder Dani Garcia took charge of Olympiakos on loan. Iker Muniain retired like Raul Garcia. Note that De Marcos and Aggirezabala (both in poor form) were on the scoresheet against Barcelona but no playing time. Apart from a possible departure of Nico Williams, Ernesto Valverde's squad would be complete.

 There are also defections to report at Valencia which sees its replacement goalkeeper Jaume Domenech occupying care like Sergi Canos, Casteillejo (return from loan), Diakhaby (long-standing injury), captain and left back holder Gaya without forgetting Fran Perez. Note that Özkacar (defender) works away from the group and is not certain of being on the trip to the Basque Country. On loan from Sevilla FC, Rafa Mir will be there, as will striker Hugo Duro (13 goals last season) without forgetting the young striker Diego Lopez (3 goals, 6 goals in La Liga last year) who avoided the correction in Vigo by scoring the only goal of his team. It should be noted that very recently, Luis Rioja signed from Deportivo Alaves while goalkeeper Dimitriesvki, holder of Rayo Vallecano, decided to sign for Valencia to be... replacement for Mamardashvili, crowned best goalkeeper in the Euro. On the departure deck, Yaremchuk (3 pawns last year, Olympiakos), Cömert (loaned to Valladolid), Peter Federico (15 caps in La Liga last year, end of loan) and Selim Amallah (return from loan to Valladolid ) have set sail.
