About this match

**Valencia's injury crisis meets Athletic's hot streak** — the home side is limping along with five players out while Athletic rolls into Mestalla undefeated in five. This has all the hallmarks of a potential upset. ⚽

Valencia are 1W-1D-3L over their last five, cracks showing everywhere. Athletic, meanwhile, sit pretty at 3W-2D with zero losses in that span. The injury toll on Valencia's defense — **Tárrega, López, Foulquier all sidelined** — leaves them thin at the back.

Key storylines:

- **Athletic's defensive wall** holding firm despite losing **Williams** and **Sancet**; **Berchiche** and **Álvarez** have been rock solid
- **Valencia's attacking outlet**: **Danjuma** will need to carry the load in transition, but service could be dodgy with midfield stretched
- **De Haas and Córdoba** facing serious pressure from **Guruzeta** and **Williams** up top for Athletic

Expected lineups:

- **Valencia**: S. Dimitrievski, J. De Haas, M. Diakhaby, I. Córdoba, J. L. Gayà, P. Maffeo, R. Sato, Pepelu, G. Rodríguez, A. Danjuma
- **Athletic Club**: U. Simón, Y. Berchiche, A. Paredes, Y. Álvarez, I. R. d. Galarreta, B. Gerenabarrena, Á. Berenguer, P. Canales, I. Williams, G. Guruzeta

Prediction:

**Athletic 1-1 Valencia**. Home advantage keeps Valencia competitive, but Athletic's form and Valencia's defensive issues feel like a coin flip. Lean Athletic's lean.
