THE PREDICTION
Marcelino’s time in charge of Athletic, on paper, is average. In reality, it’s been enthralling and successful. The reason for his appointment was to improve the Basque’s style of play and the goals for and against would suggest that has been the case. In his eight games in charge, there has been a total of 30 goals. They have won the Supercopa, defeating Real and Barca, whilst progressing into the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey; three games in the league have resulted in two defeats - both against Barcelona and the other game being a 5-1 thrashing of Getafe. They come up against the opposite in terms of mood and energy around the club. His former side Valencia are legitimately in a relegation battle but their 1-0 victory over Elche last weekend was crucial and has eased some pressure. The home side will back themselves to pile that pressure back on.
