The team expect the twisty nature of the Ricardo Tormo circuit to suit the agile but down on power GSV-R and both riders are confident of finishing the year on a high.
Loris Capirossi has finished on the podium three times at Valencia and hopes to keep both factory Suzukis in the top ten of the championship with another points finish this weekend.
"I think Valencia will be good for us because it is not really a quick track and our bike is good for handling and braking, so we hope to go really well," said Capirossi.
"The weather can sometimes be very difficult there because it can be quite cold, but I believe we can go really fast in Valencia. It is the last race and is a good opportunity to start working on how we want to continue next year."
Chris Vermeulen could still pinch seventh in the standings from Colin Edwards with a strong finish at Valencia and he too expects the circuit to suit his bike.
"Valencia is a great circuit and it suits us with it not having very long straights. The Suzuki works well on the tight and twisty type of circuit and last year we were very quick there.
"I'm really looking forward to going back. Hopefully, we can stand on the podium one more time this year. That's the plan and I really think it is possible."
