Attention to the home factor, since Athletic Club usually conquer different results at home and abroad.

Athletic Club:

After 1 win, 6 draws and 2 losses, the home team is currently in the 17 th position, with 9 points won. In their last match, they tied with Rayo Vallecano out by (1-1), after in the previous match they tied for (1-1) away, in a match against Eibar. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. For the league, Athletic Club won 5 points out of 15 possible points, after 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 5 home matches.

For this competition, they have not won any of the last 8 matches. They have not been very strong defensively, since they have suffered at least one goal in each of the last 9 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 9 matches for this competition. In 9 matches in this tournament, they suffered the first goal 4 times and never got the comeback. In the last 6 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have suffered 4 of their 10 goals between minutes (61′-75 ‘).

Athletic Bilbao has been making a Spanish Championship much lower than expected, did not win more after the victory in the first round and comes to this match in search of a recovery to try to get away from the relegation zone, since it has the same score that the Leganés, which would be the first team downgraded if the championship ended today. The team has a medium attack, which scored 10 goals and is only the ninth best in the competition, but the biggest problem is the defense, which suffered 14 goals and is the fourth weakest, so much that it suffered goals in its last 9 games for the national championship. Playing at home, as in their next match, Athletic Bilbao comes from 2 losses and 2 draws and most worrying is that only in the last 2 games in this type of situation suffered nothing less than 6 goals, again showing their defensive problems. For the match against Valencia, coach Berizzo must keep the team from the last day tied away from home.

Valencia:

After 1 win, 7 draws and 1 loss, the away team is currently in the 14 th position of the league, with 10 points won. In the last match, they tied with the CD Leganés at home (1-1), after in the previous match they tied at home, in a match against Barcelona, ​​by (1-1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses at their stadium. In the last match they played, for the UEFA Champions League, they tied with Young Boys by (1-1). In the last 4 away matches Valencia has a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 5 points out of 12 possible.

For this competition, he did not lose any of the last 7 games. In 9 matches in this tournament, they suffered the first goal 4 times and never got the comeback.

Valencia, following the example of its next opponent, is doing a rather unsatisfactory campaign, as it is one of the 4 teams that have only one victory after 9 rounds and is looking for a recovery, since it has a sufficient quality staff to fight much more up in the qualifying table. The team has a defense of good solidity, which suffered 8 goals, being the fifth strongest in La Liga, and the big problem has been the offensive inefficiency, since it scored only 8 goals, having the fifth worst attack of the national championship, but it should be noted that it has been improving in this sector and scored goals in the last four rounds. Playing as a visitor, as in Saturday’s match, Valencia comes from 3 games of invincibility, in which they won 2 draws and 1 win, but it should be noted that they were inferior to their rivals in the 3 matches and had great performances from Net porter. For the match against Athletic Bilbao, coach Marcelino has the important absence of Sheryshev, injured on the last day.
