Athletic Bilbao coach Ernesto Valverde says they're seeking victory against Valencia today.
Athletic drew 0-0 with Real Mallorca for their opening game last week.
"The idea is to keep gaining confidence and build on the good work from the other day at San Mamés," Valverde said at a pre-match press conference on Saturday evening.
"There were a lot of positive things that we have to hold on to. Above all, creating plenty of opportunities on goal so to we have a better chance of scoring. Defensive solidity will also be important."
Athletic drew 0-0 when they faced Los Che at San Mamés in 2021/22, but with former AC Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso having taken over at Valencia this summer, Valverde is expecting a different sort of match.
"We're facing a different team," Valverde said. "They've undergone a change in style of play. Now they try to play out from the back and launch quick counter-attacks.
"They're an opponent we have to respect, they're strong when attacking. We'll have to withstand their counter-attacks and bear in mind they're not going to stop pushing."
