Athletic Bilbao
- Athletic Bilbao are the favorites for this game at 2.1 compared to Levante's 3.3 and there is a good case for siding with the visitors, but the draw at 3.4 is also a bit tempting.
- Edin Terzic's men are in much the better form, having gone unbeaten in their last five matches, with three wins and two draws, a run that is good by any measure.
- Los Leones have played 2 away matches, winning 1 and losing 1, scoring 2 goals in 2 away fixtures.
- Athletic Bilbao's last 3 fixtures were a 1-1 draw with Elche, a 0-0 draw with Deportivo Alaves and a 0-1 win away to Real Sociedad in a match where they controlled the game and showed plenty of patience to secure the win.
Levante
- Levante are currently 17th in the LaLiga 2026/2027 table, and sitting right in the drop zone with 6 points from 7 matches.
- Luis Castro's side have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5 games, a run of results that should really have been better.
- Levante have scored 6 goals in their last 5 LaLiga 2026/2027 games with Ivan Romero, who has hit the net 3 times in that spell.
Key Players
- Roger Brugue has scored 3 goals in 5 LaLiga 2026/2027 games to lead the Granotes' goals charts in 2026/2027.
- Robert Navarro has scored 2 of Athletic Bilbao's LaLiga 2026/2027 goals this season and always seems to be in the right place at the right time.
Betting Insights
- Athletic Bilbao will press higher and play at a higher tempo than Levante, so should be able to get on the ball and pick off turnovers more easily.
- Backing under 2.5 goals at 1.87 fits the tactical setup for this matchup, but I am going to take the odds on both teams to score - no at 2.05 as I think the winner will be the team that gets more of the breaks when they do get their hands on the ball.
Prediction
- The statistics show that these two teams are evenly matched and that the value lies in the draw or the visitors winning, but the matchup and styles of play of these two clubs suggests that this game will be a cagey chess game and that the winner will be decided by who gets more space to play on the break.
- Los Leones have played 2 away matches, winning 1 and losing 1, scoring 2 goals in 2 away fixtures.
