Athletic Bilbao take on the visitors Valladolid in the round 14 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 8th at Estadio San Mamés (Bilbao).
Athletic are rightfully considered the historical giant of Spanish football. Only the representative of Bilbao makes the company Real and Barcelona in the narrow list of those who have never left La Liga. Yes, taking into account the unique selection approach of the Basques, it is difficult to fight for trophies. And in this regard, Marcelino showed himself so well by winning the Super Cup. But still decided in the summer that Ernesto Valverde, who had already worked here, would achieve more. After returning to the San Mames, he really began to give a good result right away, winning 5 of the 7 first meetings. And only in October the recession followed. Then "Athletic" took only 2 points in 4 fights (draws with "Seville" and "Getafe" in the defeat of "Atletico" and "Barcelona"). And only on the last Sunday of the month, due to another goal from Williams, it turned out to win - nominally strong Villarreal. But so far this looks like an exception: the newcomer, Girona, won 2-1 against Valverde's wards.

Valladolid spent last season in the Segunda. But it turned out not to get stuck there – they collected enough points to return to the still familiar level of La Liga. And, of course, the Brazilian Ronaldo clearly wants his offspring to keep its "registration" there. It is clear that "puselanos" are struggling - for example, in the first 3 rounds there was only 1 point - with the crisis Sevilla. But in the fall, a beginner manages to win quite often. First, at the “colleague for promotion”, “Almeria”. Then we managed to win in an away shootout, at Getafe. Well, in mid-October, Valladolid was able to take a maximum of twice in a row, with Celta and Real Sociedad. True, then Osasuna returned the team to its place, having issued the "grandmaster" 2-0. But in the last round it turned out to take the maximum again. But there the opponent was quite simple, Elche - as a result, they took a rather comfortable 2-1 with him.
The last time Valladolid played in the Example was in the 2020/2021 season. Then he was able to collect 4 points in 2 head-to-head matches with Athletic, but in the end they still flew out. The bookmakers believe that Athletic should win, and easily. But it seems that Valladolid is underestimated at the same time. We bet that the visitors on Tuesday will be able to win in Bilbao with a handicap of "+1.5 goals scored".
Prediction for the match: Valladolid to win +1.5 handicap.
