Tip and bets
It is a match between two La Liga Top-10 teams, who have not too many chances to break into the European competitions zone, but still have chances to win one of other trophies. Yellow Submarine performed successfully in recent matches, but gave too much energy for the match against Bayern. Valencia can't find a victory in three consecutive matches, so team is in a bit of a slump now. However, in 4 of 5 latest head-to-head matches both opponents managed to score and we are expecting the same result today.
Our prediction - both teams to score
We think that hosts will have a slight advantage due to fans' support, while visitors were more successful in recent head-to-head matches. We offer to place a bet on a draw, it might be a positive result for both sides today.
Our second bet is on a draw
