Valencia vs Athletic Bilbao – Valencia will face Athletic Bilbao in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal tomorrow evening, and the first Copa del Rey finalist of the 2021/22 season will be determined.

The first leg, which took place on February 10th at San Mames Barria, finished in a 1-1 tie, leaving the rematch at Estadio de Mestalla wide open. The stalemate was the most equitable result on the day, as neither team showed any intent to attack Bilbao.

It’s worth mentioning, however, that Athletic will be in much better spirits for this rematch. They won a tremendous 4-0 victory at San Mames Barria 10 days ago against arch local rivals Real Sociedad.

Marcelino’s team has now won three of their previous four games, climbing to seventh place in the La Liga rankings as a result. Valencia, on the other hand, was on the receiving end of a battering on the same weekend, losing 1-4 at home to Barcelona. Jose Bordalas and his team have suffered their second consecutive setback, following a 2-1 loss to relegation-threatened Deportivo Alaves.

Each of the last three head to head meetings between the two teams ended in a 1-1 draw, and only one of the last nine H2H affairs produced three or more goals. Athletic Bilbao managed to beat Valencia just 3 times in the last 30 visits to Estadio de Mestalla.

Valencia vs Athletic Bilbao – Hot stat:

Valencia had an easier path to the Copa del Rey semifinals than Athletic Bilbao, who had to beat Barcelona and Real Madrid before securing these home and away matches with Los Che.

The visitors have already demonstrated their might by eliminating the country’s best sides thus far in the campaign, and they will approach this match in considerably better spirits after thrashing Real Sociedad 4-0.

At 2.90 odds, the away win is the way to go. You can also try betting on Under 2.5 goals FT at 1.66 odds, knowing that this scenario has occurred in eight of the last nine head-to-head meetings.
