Real Valladolid vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction

With 34 points to their name, Athletic Bilbao is five points ahead of the Albivioletas in the table. This gives a slight edge to the visitors in the match.

Besides, Los Leones has lost only 5 of their 13 away matches in the campaign. However, they have only one win in that and the remaining 7 matches ended in a draw.

Even with their poor away form, the visitor has their chance in the game considering their league standings and h2h history with the host.

Besides, Valladolid has also marked 7 of their 13 home matches as draws. Also, they have won only 3 of their league home matches so far.

Considering these stats, the chance for a draw is alive in the clash. So, the best option will be to go with a double chance in the game.

With 1.40 odds, the double chance for the visitors will be the best option for the punters. Most of their h2h meetings have seen over 2 goals in total.

Hence, over 1.5 goals at 1.66 odds will be a good option to try in ninety minutes.
