On Wednesday evening, Valencia and Athletic Bilbao meet at the Mestalla in La Liga, as both teams look for a vital win to keep their hopes of a top-six finish alive this season.
Valencia’s recent form in La Liga has certainly not helped their chances of claiming a European berth. Los Che have won just once in their last six matches in the Spanish top-flight while suffering three defeats in their previous four league games in La Liga.
The poor recent run of form has left Los Che five points adrift of the European spots in the Spanish top-flight.
An impotent attack has been one of the main reasons for Albert Celades’ team struggling for results of late in the Spanish top-flight. The home side has failed to score in three of their last four league matches. At the other end of the pitch, they have kept just one clean sheet in their previous ten league outings.
One positive for Valencia is their recent form at the Mestalla, as they are unbeaten on home soil in La Liga this season, which adds up to 16 matches. They have also recorded victories in five of their last seven home games in La Liga.
Athletic Bilbao are a point behind their hosts in the league table. With just six games remaining time is running out for Gaizka Garitano’s team to claim a European spot for next season.
Los Leones have been in unconvincing form in the Spanish top-flight of late. However, they have been hard to beat in La Liga, losing just once in their previous six league games.
However, the team from the Basque country have been poor on their travels, winning just once in their last nine away games in La Liga.
Forebet predicts that this game will produce a low-scoring draw, harming both teams hopes of playing continental football next season.
