Athletic Bilbao vs Valladolid Predictions and Betting Tips

---

Bilbao welcome Valladolid to the San Mames looking to make it back-to-back wins in the LaLiga Santander. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

In the reverse match back in November, Real Valladolid picked up a huge victory beating Bilbao only for the second time consecutively since 2009. They head into this game looking to double over the Basque club for the first time since 2003/2004 season.

Highly- anticipated encounter on the cards

Bilbao picked up only their first victory in the month of April last weekend beating league leaders Atletico Madrid and in the same vein, putting a dent in the Madrid club’s title chances. The victory couldn’t have come at a better time given that Marcelino’s troops lost in the postponed 19/20 Copa Del Rey final to Sociedad and this season’s installment to Barcelona all in the space of two weeks.

Valladolid head into Wednesday’s game winless in six league matches as they continue to fight for top-flight status next season. They’re in 18th having played a game less and a win here would take them as far as 16th place on the standings. In their most recent game, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Cadiz.

Bilbao vs Valladolid Prediction: 2-0

Valladolid haven’t really impressed with just two wins since the turn of the year- a run that has spanned across 16 games. Bilbao, on the other hand, has managed to weather their storm having beaten the league leaders last time out. As such, we would bank on them making it back-to-back wins in the league this Wednesday.
