Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

There is 74% chance of Valencia and A.Bilbao no more than 3 goals combined during this La Liga fixture according to our predictive algorithm and, in the absense of a strong favourite in the win draw win market, we think that's where the smart money should go. Our calculations are made based on 20-game form, historical head-to-head (H2H) statistics and the view of the betting market, and you can get it at top odds of 1.29.
