Athletic Bilbao:
San Mames is considered one of the toughest stadiums for any team to visit as we have witnessed previously many European teams and also the Giants in Spain Real Madrid and Barcelona were beaten in that stadium against Bilbao. Athletic had an average preseason and lost only one game which was against Newcastle as they started their La Liga season with a draw against Alaves, we expect them to get their first win playing against Valencia at San Mames.

Valencia:
On the other hand, Valencia had a difficult season last year after passing through a phase where they found themselves in the relegation zone. At the start of last season, Valencia was performing well with their offensive playing style; however, they faced many injuries, especially their crucial players such as Soler and Guedes. In the new season, the bats started with a win against newly promoted Girona and grabbed the 3 points but the real test will be against Bilbao playing at San Mames.
