Match preview

Our model makes Athletic Club slight favourites, giving them a 51% chance of winning against 26% for the draw.

Our fair price for "Away win" is 1.97 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 2.4 goals in total (0.92 for Valencia, 1.50 for Athletic Club), which points to Under 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Valencia sit 19th on 9 points; Athletic Club are 7th on 15.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
