The search for a 19th winner in 23 bets has brought Tobias Gourlay to northern Spain

Athletic Bilbao v Valencia
Thursday 19:00 (Live on Sky Sports 5)

Barcelona 4 Almeria 0 at the Camp Nou yesterday evening.

That's three in a row this week and we wouldn't want to leave Spain just as in-form Athletic Bilbao are readying themselves for the visit of Champions League-chasing Valencia.

The Lions have little left to play for this season, but are on a winning streak of three at San Mames. They have scored in 10/11 Liga games there, while conceding in 7/9.

Valencia have won 3/4 on the road - only reigning champs Atletico Madrid have stopped them - and scored in 12/14 since the start of term.

At the other end, Los Che have leaked at least once in 11/14.

We like the 1-1 draw a lot - it's been the Correct Score in 3/7 head to heads and 5/14 of Valencia's away matches this season - but this column's about betting bigger on surer things.
