Valladolid vs Athletic Bilbao: Disregarding the Field Factor

Prediction for the La Liga Valladolid vs Athletic Bilbao match, which will take place on March 17th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Valladolid played two matches in March, beating Espanyol 2:1 at home and drawing 1:1 away against Elche. Due to the 4 points in the last two rounds, Valladolid slightly broke away from the relegation zone and occupied 14th place in La Liga, having a two-point gap from Getafe. Valladolid's home stats are 11th in the league, +6=2-4, 11:10 goal difference.

The winless streak of Athletic extended to five matches in a row after last week's loss to Barcelona. So the Basques have fallen to 9th place in the standings, five points behind Villarreal from the Conference League. Winning a spot in the European Cups through the championship is difficult. The priority tournament for Atletico now is the Copa del Rey, where the Basques are in the semifinals, but they lost the first match away to Osasuna. Athletic's away statistics are 10th in La Liga, +3=4-5, 15:16 goal difference.

We cannot say that Valladolid is on a roll, but in the last two games, the team earned four points, which is a lot for a team from the bottom of the standings. But Athletic is on the decline. We do not believe that before the pause for the national team games, the coaches will bring the team to their senses when their main tournament after reaching the semifinals will be the Copa del Rey. We believe that Valladolid is underestimated.
