Athletic Club head to Ciutat de Valencia on Wednesday as the stronger side on paper, facing a Levante team stuck in the lower reaches of LaLiga. Our Levante vs Athletic Club prediction leans toward the visitors.
Levante sit 17th in the standings. They have failed to win their last five LaLiga games, and head coach Luís Castro admits Athletic can hurt a team at any moment.
Athletic Club sit 11th, but the attack has gone quiet. Three straight scoreless ties in LaLiga, most recently at Valencia, show a solid defense and a blunt front line.
The history favors the visitors. Athletic are unbeaten in their last 11 games against Levante in all competitions, which makes this a stubborn hurdle for a home side searching for a spark.
Levante vs Athletic Club Recent Results
Levante have managed just a single LaLiga win so far, and their latest outing ended in a 1-1 tie away at Deportivo. Ties have piled up, which shows a team that competes but rarely finishes the job. Iván Romero has found the net or set one up in three of his last four league outings, the clearest spark in this lineup.
Athletic Club have been tough to beat but hard to watch. They have as many ties as Levante, yet the attack has stalled badly, and finishing in front of goal is a clear weakness. Robert Navarro and Alex Berenguer are set to supply the width with Nico Williams and Oihan Sancet sidelined.
Levante vs Athletic Club Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
Levante: Hugo Sotelo (Injured/out), Alejandro Primo (Injured/out), Karl Etta Eyong (Injured/doubtful)
Athletic Club: Oihan Sancet (Injured/out), Nico Williams (Injured/out), Unai Egiluz (Injured/out), Gorka Guruzeta (Injured/doubtful), Johaneko Louis-Jean (Doubtful)
Levante
Levante are without Hugo Sotelo, who has a knee sprain, and Alejandro Primo, still recovering from a dislocated shoulder. Karl Etta Eyong is a doubt with a thigh injury, so the Levante vs Athletic Club lineups point to Iván Romero, P. Ratkov and V. García leading a front three in a 4-3-3.
Athletic Club
Athletic are missing real attacking quality. Oihan Sancet (calf) is out until early November, Nico Williams (thigh) is pencilled in for a return at the end of October, and Unai Egiluz faces a long layoff with a cruciate ligament injury. Gorka Guruzeta (knee) and Johaneko Louis-Jean are doubts. The good news is that Dani Vivian, Peio Canales and Alvaro Djalo are all available, with Canales projected to start behind M. Sannadi.

Levante vs Athletic Club Prediction & Best Picks
Our Prediction
Our prediction is an Athletic Club win, with goals at both ends. The Levante vs Athletic Club betting odds have the visitors at +120 (Polymarket) on the moneyline. Our projections make them favorites with a win probability near 52%, comfortably above the implied probability of that price. Levante struggle to keep the ball and defend through balls poorly, which plays right into an Athletic side that likes to control games in the opposition's half. That scoreless streak looks like a blip, not a blueprint.
Best Picks
Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Our Levante vs Athletic Club best picks start in the Total Goals Over/Under market, the cleanest value on the board. The projection lands at 3.22 total goals, well clear of the line. Both teams to score rates at 62%, and a Levante side that takes a lot of shots should help drag Athletic out of their scoreless rut.
Athletic Club to win in the Moneyline market. The Moneyline is where Athletic's edge shows most clearly. Their projected goal output of 1.92 outpaces Levante's, and their win probability sits above what the bookmaker price implies against a home side still hunting its second league win.
Levante vs Athletic Club Same Game Parlay
Our Levante vs Athletic Club Same Game Parlay picks stack three player props: Beñat Gerenabarrena to be shown a card, Iván Romero to score anytime and Iñaki Williams over 1.5 shots.
Beñat Gerenabarrena has been carded three times across his last four league outings. Levante attack with width and love a long ball, which invites the kind of challenges that get booked.
Iván Romero has found the net three times across his last four league outings. He works the left flank, and attacking down the left is exactly where Levante like to go.
Iñaki Williams has fired 2 or more shots in all five of his most recent league appearances. With Nico Williams and Oihan Sancet out, more of Athletic's shooting load should land on him.
That keeps this a three-leg Same Game Parlay, with every leg built on a run that has landed in recent LaLiga outings.

Levante vs Athletic Club Talking Points
Edin Terzić called the scoreless tie at Valencia on October 17, 2026 a point his team had to live with, admitting Athletic created occasions rather than clear-cut looks. That is the Athletic story right now: control without a cutting edge. Levante will lean on Oriol Rey, who just reached 100 official appearances for the club and says he feels at home and very loved there. The midfielder anchors a side that has shown it can come back from losing positions, so Athletic cannot ease off even with a lead.
