Game Preview
When Valencia hosts Athletic Bilbao in La Liga on Saturday night at Mestalla, they will be hoping to snap a string of four straight losses. Los Che’s recent troubles have caused them to fall into 17th place in the standings, only one point above the relegation zone. Athletic are presently in eighth place, two points behind Villarreal in sixth place.
Gennaro Gattuso was recently fired as head coach of Valencia, and Voro was appointed in his stead on an interim basis. However, there hasn’t been a “new manager bounce,” as the team has lost both of its games under the 59-year-old, who is in caretaker command for the eighth time.
Los Che are now in 17th place in the table, only one point above the relegation zone, after losing 2-0 to Real Madrid on February 2 and losing 1-0 to Girona last weekend. Valencia has only won five of its 20 league games thus far, and they still have a number of very challenging games remaining, including matchups with Real Sociedad and Barcelona.
It would be a noteworthy event if the six-time La Liga winners from Spain were demoted to the Segunda Division for the 2023–24 season. Valencia has 14 points from 10 home league games this season, and their performance at Mestalla will certainly be crucial in their fight to stay in the top division.

Athletic are presently ranked eighth in the table, two points behind Villarreal in sixth place and six points behind Atletico in fourth place. The Basque squad is unlikely to qualify for the Champions League this season, but they will be confident of competing for a top-six berth.
