First leg of two which always makes these a bit uninteresting, but the current form of Bilbao has to be recognized.

Valencia made some very good signings in January, Moriba and Bryan Gil are classy midfielders, and also Soler and Guedes are having a good season Valencia are rather attractive to watch these days, and I have put them higher on my ranking, I did have my doubts when the season started. Hugo Duro is not a technical or fast or impressive striker, but he is smart, especially the Bordalas - way, the coach who brought him along from Getafe.

Bilbao did win over Espanyol on Monday as previewed, but with a hugely rotated side and for example Muniain did rest almost all game.

Valencia have a few key absentees here, Guillamon and Cillesen are unavailable, but perhaps Paulista will be match fit. If not, then the clumsy cb Diakhaby will be in big trouble with leagues fastest striker Williams.

Bilbao are a cup team, they have outplayed for example Real Madrid already 3 times out the last 4 meetings in a few months time, they have Europe's top home advantage, almost a full squad and a super chance to win the cup which they pretty much would had deserved in recent seasons.

To sum it up, first leg is always bad, but I think Bilbao want the full use of their home advantage and will show up here like a storm.

2-0

双回合比赛的首回合总是让这些有点乏味，但毕尔巴鄂目前的形式必须被认识。

瓦伦西亚1月份做了一些很好的球员,Moriba和布莱恩·吉尔是优雅的中场球员,以及太阳系和古埃德是有一个好的赛季瓦伦西亚,而吸引观看这些天来,我把它们更高的排名,赛季开始时我有怀疑。乌戈·杜罗不是一个技术、速度或令人印象深刻的前锋，但他很聪明，尤其是博达拉斯的方式，他是从赫塔菲带来他的教练。

周一，毕尔巴鄂确实像预想的那样战胜了西班牙人，但由于球队大量轮换，穆尼亚因几乎在比赛中休息。

瓦伦西亚有几名关键球员缺席，Guillamon和Cillesen不能上场，但也许保利斯塔将会是合适的人选。如果没有，那么笨拙的Diakhaby将与联赛最快的射手威廉姆斯陷入大麻烦。

毕尔巴鄂是杯的球队,他们击败了例如皇马已经3次最后4会议在几个月的时间,他们有欧洲最好的主场优势,几乎完整的阵容,一个超级机会夺得世界杯,他们几乎会有应得的最近几个赛季。

总而言之，第一回合总是很糟糕，但我认为毕尔巴鄂想要充分利用他们的主场优势，在这里会像暴风雨一样出现。
