Real Valladolid vs Athletic Bilbao Free Betting Picks – La Liga

Not necessarily worried by the fight for maintenance last year, Real Valladolid is putting itself in great danger at the start of the season. Indeed, the club took only 3 points during the first 8 days of La Liga and logically finds itself in the last position in the standings. The Blanquivioletas have a series of defeats and have lost 4 times in the last 5 days. Since their last draw against Huesca (2-2), they have lost to Alaves (0-2) and Villarreal (2-0).

Rather disappointing last season, Bilbao did not have an ideal start to the season either but did not find themselves in as delicate a situation as their opponents of the day. On the contrary, the Athletic even seems to have found some colours lately and has just won 2 successes in the last 3 days. After dominating Levante (2-0), the Basques were beaten by Osasuna (1-0) before recovering against Sevilla (2-1) on Saturday. In the standings, these victories enabled them to climb back up to 11th position.

The workforce for Real Valladolid vs Athletic Bilbao

In Valladolid, the defender Kiko Olivas, the less used Janko and the prisoner Javi Sanchez are still stuck in the infirmary. On the other hand, defenseman Nacho Martinez is expected to return from suspension after missing the last game.

The Athletic, for its part, will not be able to count on the usual substitutes Nolaskoain, Inigo Cordoba, De Marcos, Ibai Gomez and Kodro who are still suffering from physical problems. For the moment, the very good scorer of last year, Ruben Garcia (14 goals) has still not found the net.
