Analysis: Athletic Club are eighth in La Liga with 17 points from 13 games, whereas Levante sit 19th, having won only 2 of their 13 fixtures and conceding 24 goals – the joint second-worst record in the league. Athletic boast a superior pass accuracy (81.94%) and average nearly 50% possession, underlining their ability to control matches. While Levante have scored more than their xG suggests (16 goals from 14.45 xG), their defensive frailties and lack of clean sheets (just two) make them vulnerable. Athletic Club’s recent head-to-head record is dominant, winning 6 of the last 10 meetings. With Levante struggling to turn home advantage into points, Athletic Club are well placed to take all three points at a value price above evens.

Analysis: While neither side boasts a top league scorer, Carlos Espí has emerged as a consistent attacking threat for Levante, contributing to their tally of 9 goals scored by strikers. Levante create more big chances (23) than Athletic Club (15), and Espí’s movement in the box often puts him on the end of these opportunities. Athletic Club’s defence, despite more clean sheets, has conceded 17 goals and is susceptible to lapses, as evidenced by two mistakes leading to goals this season. Espí’s likely role as the focal point increases his anytime scorer value, especially with Levante’s strikers outperforming their expected goals so far.

Levante’s campaign has been beset by inconsistency, with just two victories in thirteen matches and a goal difference of -8. They have netted 16 goals—slightly above their xG of 14.45—reflecting clinical finishing, but their defensive record is poor, with 24 conceded.
Athletic Bilbao, meanwhile, have 5 wins and 2 draws from 13 matches, and a slightly negative goal difference (-5). They have underperformed their xG (12 goals from 15.33 xG), indicating a need for sharper finishing, but boast greater solidity at the back with three clean sheets.
Levante tend to favour a counter-attacking set-up, reflected in their lower average possession (38.95%) and a direct approach to chance creation. Their high number of big chances created (23) shows they are efficient at exploiting space when it arises.
Bilbao, in contrast, are more comfortable in possession (49.5%), with a higher pass accuracy (81.94%). Their likely 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 structure allows for flexibility, patient build-up, and width via the Williams brothers, but an underperformance in attack suggests a need for more clinical edge up front.

In the last 10 meetings, Athletic Club have won 6, Levante 2, with 2 draws. Athletic have scored 16 goals to Levante’s 13 in these fixtures.
Iñaki Williams is set to be a key figure for Athletic Club. While the league’s top scorers are elsewhere, Williams remains central to Athletic’s attacking transitions. His pace and direct running stretch defences, and although he has not been prolific this season, his off-ball movement creates space for teammates like Berenguer and Sancet. Williams’ ability to press from the front and exploit Levante’s defensive lapses could be decisive, particularly given Levante’s issues with preventing big chances (22 missed by opponents, but still 24 conceded). Look for Williams to test the back four, and his presence should be factored into any goalscorer or assist markets.

Athletic Club’s greater consistency, balance in midfield, and historical dominance in this fixture make them strong candidates for an away win, especially with Levante struggling defensively this season. Both teams have shown a propensity for open games – Levante’s clinical strikers and Athletic’s tendency to concede suggest Both Teams to Score is a strong angle. For value, backing Athletic Club to take all three points at 23/20 stands out, while Carlos Espí offers a lively anytime scorer option for Levante. As always, check team news before placing bets, and consider the tactical matchups on the day.
