Athletic Bilbao take on the visitors Valencia at “Estadio San Mames” in the matchday 26 of the Spanish LaLiga. The game will be played in Bilbao on Wednesday, February 28th.
Each season Athletic Bilbao start to struggle from an extremely tough schedule in a certain moment as their philosophy, which means only the Basques players’ engagement, doesn’t enable to widen the club’s roster and use rotation effectively. As a result, the team is currently sitting on the 12th place in the elite division table with 31 points collected after 25 rounds behind. It should be noted that “Lehoiak” participated in four battles during last 10 days, having gone through two tense clashes against Spartak Moscow within the UEFA Europa League, a complicated tackle against Malaga and head-to-head vs. Atletico Madrid at “Wanda Metropolitano”. Athletic Bilbao always look awesome at the home ground, however, they have got too many draws in front of their supporters in this season which makes up 50% of all home fights.

In their turn, Valencia show quite solid football in this season. And even though the club may forget about the champion’s title, still, it must save the fourth position where it settles now with 49 points taken after 25 encounters played. “Los Murcielagos” demonstrate rather strong results on the road, having earned six triumphs and two draws in 12 games conducted.
Athletic Bilbao were beaten by Valencia with 3:2 scoreline in the first-lap tackle. And there are no doubts that the proud Basques will give a fight to “Los Murcielagos”. Nevertheless, I believe that the hosts will definitely struggle from the weariness as it is very difficult for the footballers to perform well without rest and rotation, especially against such tough opponent like modern Valencia.
Prediction for the match: Valencia to win.
