Levante host Athletic Club at Ciutat de Valencia on Wednesday night in LaLiga, a rescheduled fixture after severe weather and a waterlogged pitch wrecked the original date.
Levante sit 17th in the table. They have failed to win their last five LaLiga outings, though a fiery home display against leaders Barcelona earned a standing ovation from the stands.
Athletic Club have drawn their last three LaLiga games without a goal at either end. Head coach Edin Terzic insists his side are close to turning those draws into wins.
History sits firmly in the visitors' corner. Athletic Club are undefeated in their last 11 matches against Levante in all competitions, and they have the squad to stretch that run.
Levante vs Athletic Club Form
Levante's league campaign has been a slog, and they have won 2 of their last 10 matches against all opponents. Last time out brought yet another draw, away at Deportivo. Iván Romero is the bright spot, getting a shot away in 5 of his last 6 LaLiga appearances, and he carries most of the attacking threat.
Athletic Club have been as hard to beat as they have been to watch, drawing their last three LaLiga games and level at half-time and full-time in each. They have won 2 of their last 10 matches against all opponents, because the finishing has let them down. Robert Navarro and Alex Berenguer remain the creative spark from the flanks.

Levante
Levante are without Hugo Sotelo, who has a knee sprain, while Alejandro Primo is still recovering from a dislocated shoulder. Karl Etta Eyong is a doubt with a thigh injury, which leaves P. Ratkov as the probable starter through the middle, with Iván Romero on the left of the front three.
Athletic Club
Athletic Club are hit hard in attack, with Oihan Sancet (calf) and Nico Williams (thigh) both out, and Unai Egiluz a long-term absentee with a cruciate ligament injury.

Levante vs Athletic Club Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Athletic Club to win, with goals at both ends. Levante are still waiting on a league win in their recent outings and struggle badly against through balls, while the visitors have far more quality in the final third. The Levante vs Athletic Club betting odds agree, with Athletic 6/5 with Betfred. The projected total of 3.22 goals says those goalless draws are due to end here.
Best Bets
Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. A high-scoring game is on the cards. The projected total sits well above the 2.5 line, and the implied probability from the bookmaker prices undercooks it. Athletic's run of stalemates looks like a blip against a Levante defence that is vulnerable to long shots and through balls.
Yes in the Both Teams To Score market. Both sides are expected to find the net. Of the Levante vs Athletic Club best bets, this has the firmest footing, as Athletic Club have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 matches against Levante in all competitions. Levante take plenty of shots and cross often, and Romero gives them a genuine outlet at the other end.
Levante vs Athletic Club Bet Builder
Our Levante vs Athletic Club bet builder tips combine three player legs: a card for Beñat Gerenabarrena, an anytime goal for Iván Romero and over 1.5 shots for Iñaki Williams.
Beñat Gerenabarrena has picked up a booking in 3 of his last 4 LaLiga outings, which makes him the obvious candidate for a card in a scrappy fixture both sides need to win.
Iván Romero has found the net in 3 of his last 4 LaLiga games. He starts on the left of Levante's front three, and if the hosts find the net, he is the man to back.
Iñaki Williams has managed 2 or more shots in every one of his last five top-flight outings. Volume is his game, and Over 1.5 shots simply asks him to do what he always does.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 11/1 and is as short as 9/1 elsewhere.

Levante vs Athletic Club Talking Points
Levante head coach Luís Castro has warned that Athletic Club can hurt an opponent at any moment, praising their continuity and quality across every phase. He is right to be wary, because Athletic like to control games in the opposition's half and rarely give anything away from set pieces. The catch is the finishing, which explains how so many dominant outings have ended level. Levante's route is direct: long balls, crosses and width, plus a real knack for coming back from losing positions. Put those together and this has the makings of a messy, open contest rather than another stubborn stalemate, with Robert Navarro the visitor most likely to tip it Athletic's way.
