Levante vs Athletic Club Game Preview

Levante host Athletic Club at the Ciutat de Valencia on Wednesday, and this Levante vs Athletic Club prediction leans toward the visitors, who arrive as the modest favorites for this LaLiga matchup.

Levante sit 14th in the standings and rank 14th for recent form, a middling start that leaves them needing points at home to steady the ship early in the season.

Athletic Club sit ninth in the standings and come in off a 1-1 tie at Elche, a game they salvaged late through an own goal forced by Alex Berenguer after conceding a first-half penalty.

The head-to-head tilts heavily toward Athletic, who are undefeated in their last 11 games against Levante in all competitions, with the visitors also scoring at least two goals in each of their last three meetings.

Levante vs Athletic Club Recent Results

Levante come into this one 14th in the LaLiga standings and 14th for form, a slow opening stretch that has the home crowd restless. This is a team that leans on attacking set pieces and creating scoring chances, but keeping possession and defending set pieces are clear weak spots. Ivan Romero leads the line, with Roger Brugue a live threat off the right after netting in his last two of three LaLiga outings.

Athletic Club sit ninth in the standings and ninth for form, holding Elche to a 1-1 tie last time out after conceding a penalty and equalizing late through an own goal forced by Alex Berenguer. This is a side built on creating scoring chances and long shot opportunities, though finishing has been a nagging issue. Inaki Williams and Oihan Sancet headline the attack, with Sancet having registered three or more shot attempts in every one of his three most recent LaLiga appearances.

Injuries & Suspensions

Levante: Karl Etta Eyong (Injured/out), Alex Primo (Injured/out)

Athletic Club: Unai Egiluz (Injured/out), Dani Vivian (Injured/out), Peio Canales (Injured/doubtful), Gorka Guruzeta (Injured/doubtful)

Levante

Levante have a couple of absentees to work around. Alex Primo is set to miss out once again with a shoulder injury, and Karl Etta Eyong is the latest to pick up a problem, ruled out for the rest of the month. That thins the attacking options, putting more onus on Ivan Romero and Roger Brugue up top.

Athletic Club

Athletic Club carry a longer injury list. Unai Egiluz and Dani Vivian remain out and will not return this month, while Peio Canales and Gorka Guruzeta are both doubts for the trip. Even so, the spine of the attack led by Inaki Williams, Nico Williams and Oihan Sancet stays intact.

Levante vs Athletic Club Prediction & Best Picks

Our Prediction

Our prediction is a road win for Athletic Club. The numbers back the visitors as the favorites here, and this is a group with more quality across the field than a Levante side stuck 14th in the standings. Athletic's edge in creating chances and their long unbeaten run in this matchup make them the smart side to lean on, even if a stubborn Levante keep it tight for spells.

Best Picks

Back Oihan Sancet to record over 3.5 shots in the Player Shots market. This one sits in the Player Shots market. As Athletic Club's central attacking midfielder, Sancet is at the heart of a side that consistently generates high shot volumes, and his shot numbers have been strong enough that clearing 3.5 in this spot is a well-supported call.

Back Manuel Sánchez to commit over 1.5 fouls in the Player Fouls market. This pick lands in the Player Fouls market. Starting at left back for Levante, Sánchez draws a tough assignment against Athletic's dangerous flank attack, and the pressure he will face tracking those runners gives him a real shot at picking up two or more fouls over 90 minutes.

Levante vs Athletic Club Same Game Parlay

Our four-leg Levante vs Athletic Club Same Game Parlay pairs Oihan Sancet over 2.5 shots, Roger Brugue anytime goalscorer, Benat Gerenabarrena to be shown a card, and Athletic Club over 1.5 team goals.

Sancet is Athletic's shot machine from the middle, clearing 3+ attempts in each of his three LaLiga appearances so far this season, so the 2.5-shot line looks well within reach.

Roger Brugue carries Levante's best scoring hope, having found the net in a pair of his last three LaLiga outings, and he leads the line as an anytime goalscorer option.

Benat Gerenabarrena has picked up a card in two of his last three LaLiga appearances, and a busy defensive midfield role against this Athletic attack keeps the yellow card risk high.

Athletic Club over 1.5 team goals fits the trend perfectly, with the visitors scoring 2+ goals in all three of their last games against Levante.

This Same Game Parlay returns a best price of +4134 and goes as short as +2400 elsewhere. That's a difference in potential winnings of $173 from best to worst price.

Levante vs Athletic Club Talking Points

The big story is whether Levante can finally crack an Athletic Club side that has owned this matchup, undefeated in their last 11 games in all competitions. Athletic drew 1-1 at Elche last time out and were happy with the direction of the performance, though finishing efficiency remains the sticking point, a weakness the numbers flag too. If the Williams brothers and Sancet find their range, a Levante team that struggles to keep possession and defend set pieces could be in for a long night. The question for the hosts is discipline, given how often they end up in the referee's book against these opponents.
