Venue (City, Stadium) | Valencia, Ciutat de Valencia |
A midweek LaLiga tie brings Levante and Athletic Club together at the Ciutat de Valencia on Wednesday 16 September 2026, with kick-off set for 20:30 UK time.
Levante line up for a second straight home match, still chasing a first win after the messy 4-2 defeat to Barcelona left plenty for their coaching staff to fix at the back.
Athletic Club arrive in better shape, holding a record of two wins, one draw and two defeats from their opening five, and looking for consistency after a 1-1 draw with Elche.
History points firmly to the visitors, who are undefeated in their last 11 matches against Levante in all competitions, so there is no shortage of stakes for the hosts in this match.
Levante vs Athletic Club Form
Levante have lost just once in their last four LaLiga outings, but they have won only once in that spell, and at home this season it is one win and one loss. There is bite going forward, with two second-half goals landing in that 4-2 loss to Barcelona, and Roger Brugué finding the net in two of his last three league starts.
Athletic Club started slowly, losing both opening fixtures, but they have since gone unbeaten, winning twice before that 1-1 draw with Elche. Oihan Sancet is the man to watch in the engine room, attempting 3+ shots in each of his last three LaLiga games, while Iñaki Williams remains a constant threat down the flanks.

Athletic Club: Unai Egiluz (Injured/out), Dani Vivian (Injured/out), Peio Canales (Injured/doubtful), Gorka Guruzeta (Injured/doubtful)
Levante
Levante are without Karl Etta Eyong, who has picked up a problem that rules him out for the rest of the month, while Álex Primo misses out again with a shoulder injury. That leaves the hosts leaning on Iván Romero to lead the line and Roger Brugué to supply the spark from wide.
Athletic Club
Athletic Club have a stack of concerns, with Unai Egiluz and Dani Vivian both sidelined and neither due back this month. Peio Canales and Gorka Guruzeta are doubts too, so plenty falls on Oihan Sancet and Iñaki Williams to carry the visitors' attacking load.

Levante vs Athletic Club Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Athletic Club are the favourites here and the numbers back it up, so our Levante vs Athletic Club prediction is a 1-2 away win, with the visitors' recent hold over this fixture and Levante's shaky defending pointing towards three points for the travelling side.
Best Bets
Back Oihan Sancet in the Player Shots market to register Over 3.5 shots. With Athletic Club expected to control the attacking phases, Sancet is central to their high-volume shooting — he has attempted 3+ shots in each of his last three LaLiga appearances, and there is a healthy edge against the market price here.
Back Manuel Sanchez in the Player Fouls market to commit Over 1.5 fouls. Levante's left-back faces a thankless task containing Athletic Club's dangerous flank play, and the pressure he will be under makes at least two fouls a genuine value angle with the implied probability pointing firmly in this direction.

Levante vs Athletic Club Talking Points
The story of the night is whether Levante can tighten a defence that shipped four against Barcelona last time out, because Athletic Club arrive targeting more consistency after that 1-1 draw with Elche. The visitors carry the head-to-head momentum, undefeated in their last 11 against Levante, and with Sancet and Iñaki Williams firing they have the firepower to expose any lingering frailties. For the hosts, keeping it tight early and riding on Brugué's cutting edge looks the only realistic route to dragging themselves back into a fixture that history says is stacked against them.
