It feels I have discussed all Bilbao matches since Marcelino took over after the Elche game.

And I have been wrong too, his impact has been sensational, the team is a different one than under the defenseminded bore of Garitano. Apart from these games they have also played 2 Supercup matches and 3 Copa del Rey matches in January. All in total 8 games in January, and last Thursday 120 minutes away at Betis!

The spirits may be high, but they still lack class and depth in the team, and the legs must be most tired of all La Liga teams. Tonight they are set to miss their key midfielder Muniain, who is one of the two players capable of achieving some "pausa", some calmness into the game with ball possession. Strong striker Raul Garcia is suspended, one of the best players in the air.

The replacement Villalibre is a hard-working figure, and Berenguer to replace Muniain is not a bad one, but some players just can not be replaced. Bilbao have the first leg of the cup semifinals awaiting on Thursday v Levante, and this match has all the elements for a let down - game.

I have discussed Valencia too several times and usually gone against them, but this is their time to hit despite them being poor travellers.

They did also play 8 games in January, but they rotated a lot, especially in the last they lost in Sevilla as they concentrated in survival in the league and all eyes were in the match v Elche. That was a week ago! There is a massive advantage in the freshness factor, and despite all the bad things in the background at Valencia the starting lineup is a strong one.

Valencia lost only one of their 5 La Liga matches in January, the schedule was favourable, but a tired Bilbao side without their key men is a percect match up!

The teams are rather even with optimal conditions, now everything points into Valencia's direction, and as Guedes at the wing has shown signs of recovery to the top he might be the man to decide this!

1-3

感觉我已经讨论了自从马塞里诺在对埃尔切的比赛后接手毕尔巴鄂的所有比赛。

我也错了，他的影响是惊人的，这支球队与加里塔诺的防守完全不同。除了这些比赛，他们还参加了2场超级杯比赛和3场国王杯比赛。在一月份总共8场比赛中，在上个星期四120分钟客场挑战贝蒂斯!

虽然士气高涨，但他们在队伍中仍然缺乏水准和深度，他们的腿肯定是所有西甲球队中最疲惫的。今晚他们将失去他们的关键中场穆尼亚因，他是两名能够在比赛中获得一些“包萨”的球员之一。强壮的前锋劳尔·加西亚被停赛，最好的球员之一在空中。

替代者维拉利布雷是一个努力工作的人，而代替穆尼亚恩的贝伦格尔也不错，但是有些球员就是不能被替代。毕尔巴鄂将在周四对阵莱万特的比赛中迎来半决赛第一回合，这场比赛将会是一场令人失望的比赛。

我已经讨论过巴伦西亚好几次了，通常都和他们对着干，但现在是他们进攻的时候了，尽管他们是可怜的旅行者。

他们在1月份也打了8场比赛，但是他们轮换了很多次，特别是在最后一场输给塞维利亚的比赛中，他们集中精力在联赛中生存，所有的目光都集中在了对埃尔切的比赛上。那是一个星期以前的事了!在新鲜的因素中有一个巨大的优势，尽管在巴伦西亚有很多不好的事情，首发阵容是一个强大的。

巴伦西亚在1月份的5场西甲比赛中只输掉了一场，赛程很有利，但是疲惫的毕尔巴鄂没有他们的关键球员是一场完美的比赛!

球队在最佳的条件下相当均衡，现在一切都指向巴伦西亚的方向，而在侧翼的Guedes已经显示出恢复到顶端的迹象，他可能是决定这一切的人!

预测比分1:3。
