About The Match
Bilbao arrive as the clear market favourite and the sharper side on nearly every measure, while Valencia's season is defined by a home record that has produced no wins and very few goals. The visitors have taken 8 points from their last six league matches to Valencia's 4, and their away defence has conceded just 1.0 goals per match across 2 away matches, far better than the league average for a travelling side. The key uncertainty is whether Valencia's thin home sample flatters their attacking numbers, because a team scoring 0.5 goals per home match across 4 home matches offers little evidence of a turnaround.
