Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be a few goals. A controlled game is expected for Athletic Club's men, as they have a superior quality squad to their opponents in this match. On the other hand, Valencia have home advantage and should take the opportunity to use their strong counter attacks. Thus, we expect a very open match with several scoring chances, which makes it a good option to bet on goals.
