Coach Carlos Corberán has decided to introduce substantial changes to the starting eleven, with a different structure affecting both the midfield and the offensive zone. This approach aims to provide greater balance and presence to the team against a demanding opponent.

One of the main modifications is in the midfield, where an unprecedented double pivot formed by Pepelu and Guido Rodríguez will debut. Both players will be in charge of the engine room, with the objective of providing more control and solidity to the team.

In the offensive area, Valencia CF also presents novelties. Javi Guerra and Hugo Duro will be the attacking references, while Diego López and Luis Rioja will start from the flanks. Guerra's presence in advanced positions is one of the most notable aspects of this lineup, with which the Valencian club will try to compete in one of LaLiga's most challenging stadiums.

Valencia CF's starting eleven is: Dimitrievski; Raba Saravia, Tárrega, Cömert, Gayà; Luis Rioja, Guido Rodríguez, Pepelu, Diego López; Javi Guerra and Hugo Duro. Meanwhile, Athletic Club's starting eleven is Unai Simón; Yuri, Vivian, Yeray, Gorosabel; Rego, Jauregizar, Sancet; Iñaki Williams, Nico Williams and Guruzeta.
