Athletic Bilbao
- Athletic Bilbao are not enjoying a vintage season and sit 11th in LaLiga with 25 points from 22 games while Levante are 19th with 18 points from 21 matches ahead of the upcoming matchup.
- Athletic Bilbao have won one of their last five in all competitions (D1, L3).
- Ernesto Valverde has always been a master of tactical discipline and is usually able to get his team to keep a solid structure while also moving the ball quickly and pressing hard.
Levante
- Levante have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five.
- Levante are 19th with 18 points from 21 matches ahead of the upcoming matchup.
- Luis Castro has been doing a good job since he took charge in December 2025.
- Castro’s side have a decent away record in LaLiga 2025/2026 (W3, D2, L6) with the goal average at 1.18 scored and 1.27 conceded.
Head-to-Head
Athletic Bilbao beat Levante 2-0 in the reverse LaLiga fixture two months ago.
Key Players
- Nico Williams will be their most likely threat as he has four in 18 LaLiga appearances.
- Gorka Guruzeta has scored three of Bilbao’s last ten goals.
- Etta Eyong leads Levante’s scoring charts with six LaLiga goals in 19 appearances and is capable of scoring when it matters.
Betting Insights
- The odds available suggest that the bookmakers are making Bilbao big favorites (1.64) and Levante outsiders (5.2).
- Backing Both Teams To Score at 1.8 seems a good option here as Levante’s improved attack will create chances against a Bilbao side that have not been very solid at home, while Castro’s men will get enough chances to make it a real contest against the hosts’ leaky defence.
- With Bilbao winless in two at home and Levante having split their last two away (W1, L1), there is a clear opportunity to get some value out of the match.
Prediction
- Both sides could benefit from a win.
- Backing Both Teams To Score at 1.8.
