Valencia vs Athletic Club

Valencia have lost their last two LaLiga matches against Athletic Bilbao, failing to score in both. They have not lost 3+ consecutive matches against the Basques in the competition since 2016 (3), and have not gone 3+ matches without scoring against the Rojiblancos since 1979 (G3 D1 L2).

Athletic Club have won three of their last six LaLiga away matches against Valencia (D2 L1), one more victory than in their previous 31 visits to the Valencian ground in the competition (W2 D9 L20).

After their 1-0 win at Mestalla in May 2025, Athletic Club could achieve back-to-back away wins against Valencia for the third time in LaLiga history, and the first since a run of two victories between 1986 and 1988, both by 2-1 scores.

Valencia, who suffered their joint-heaviest defeat in LaLiga under Carlos Corberán last time out, a 0-6 defeat to Barcelona (along with a 1-7 defeat to the Catalans in January 2025), have only lost one of their last eight home games in the competition (W5 D2), but that was against Athletic Bilbao, going down 0-1 in May 2025.

After their defeat to Alavés on the last matchday (0-1), Athletic Bilbao could suffer back-to-back LaLiga defeats for the first time since May 2023 (2), which would end their longest run in the competition's history without losing 2+ games in a row (80).
