Athletic Bilbao

Valencia

Suspended: T.Costa

Injury: R.Costa, Miguel, Canales, Banega

Both sides are glowing with their Europa League success and if we talk about tiredness, it would be equal for the opponents. The developing of the Athletic football is amazing and we should put them as favorites in Bilbao no matter who the visitors are. The Basque’s superiority over the overpraised Manchester United and the spirits of the Bielsa’s men earned a lot of fans from all over the world. Agaisnt Osasuna Llorente (who is available despite his little injury issues) was the golden substitution and with the increased pressure Athletic were pretty close to the equalizing in the second half.

Valencia are not convincing in Primera Divison lately and they should be happy even to a point here. They admitted easily goals in the last games and wasted their lead. The Emery’s men have difficulties defending against fast runs and there will be many of them on Sunday. The Los Che advantage on the third spot has almost disappeared and that kind of battle will show the top six sides. We believe Athletic must be one of them.
