Likely Winner:

The ATH vs VLD Today Match Prediction will be a crucial one for Real Valladolid as they seek to leave the relegation zone. It will be a tough game as Athletic Bilbao are coming off the back of a great victory. Bilbao, on the other hand, will be rather unaffected by the game in terms of league standings. But it comes down to a matter of pride and the players will not want to lose this one. Sergio Gonzalez’s men will be looking for his 6th win of the season but even a draw will be enough to move them to safety.
