Levante vs Athletic Bilbao will be a clash of styles
Athletic Bilbao enter this game on the back of back-to-back victories across all competitions, beating Celta de Vigo 2-0 away and Atletico Madrid 3-0 at home after falling to a 2-0 defeat against Barcelona in the previous away game.
The visitors are currently 10th in the LaLiga 2026/2027 standings with six points from four matches, just one more than Levante in 11th, but they are the narrow favourites here at 6/5, with Levante 21/10 and the draw 12/5.
Athletic Bilbao are a much more chaotic team than Levante, so this should be a battle of possession against pressure and the team that wins the turnovers will likely dictate the flow of this match.
Levante have been more solid and structured
Luis Castro has had Levante playing in a more structured, controlled-possession manner since he took over on 20 December 2025. The team have built up well from the back in a 4-3-3, with their full backs involved in creating wide overloads and they've been much more patient with the ball.
Castro's side have won just one of their last five games across all competitions (D2, L2), but that was a 5-2 thrashing of Real Betis in their only home game in LaLiga 2026/2027. Roger Brugue has looked more lively in the final third and leads the scoring charts for Levante in the league with two goals in three games, with the attacker scoring two of Levante's six goals in their last five matches.
Athletic Bilbao can nick it but Levante can hold out
Edin Terzic has made Los Leones a much more front-foot side since taking over on 1 July 2026, one that presses the life out of opponents and plays at a fast tempo through the half-spaces when in possession. This can work against Levante, but it can also leave them more open defensively, so this game could go either way.
Inaki Williams has been the biggest spark of creativity for Athletic Bilbao so far in the 2026/2027 campaign, assisting two goals in four league games.
Robert Navarro tops the scoring list with two LaLiga 2026/2027 goals in three matches, but he has scored three of Bilbao's nine goals in their last five in all competitions, so he is a good anytime goalscorer bet at 3/1.
Athletic Bilbao won the last meeting 4-2, which was their second straight win in this fixture, and they look the most likely winners of this one but the odds suggest it will be close rather than a runaway. So, both teams to score at 73/100 looks very tempting in a game that could open up at both ends.
