Athletic Club head to Valencia sitting 11th in La Liga with nine points from seven matches. A run of three draws followed by a win has steadied a side that has not yet found consistent rhythm, and a trip to a struggling Levante offers a chance to build momentum before the season gets tougher.
For Levante, the stakes are more pressing. They sit 17th with seven points from eight games and a goal difference of minus four. A home fixture against Athletic on Wednesday is an opportunity to climb away from the bottom of the standings.
Form: Athletic’s defence against Levante’s home problems
Athletic’s recent defensive record stands out. In their last five matches they have scored six goals and conceded just one. Levante have been far less secure: seven goals scored but 11 conceded over the same period, and only one win from three home games this season. Their home record shows 10 goals scored but nine conceded, a pattern that suggests an open contest.
Unbeaten against Levante
This is the story to watch. Athletic have not lost to Levante in their last five meetings, winning four and drawing one. The most recent result came in February, when Athletic won 4-2 at home. Earlier, Athletic beat Levante 2-0 away in November 2025, then 3-1 at home in March 2022, after a goalless draw at Levante in November 2021. Even the 2021 Copa del Rey tie ended in a 2-1 Athletic win at Levante.
Team news
Levante will be without K. Etta Eyong (muscle injury), A. Primo (shoulder injury) and H. Sotelo (knee injury). Athletic Club are missing U. Egiluz, who is sidelined with a knee injury.
Our prediction
Athletic’s defensive solidity and their recent dominance over Levante make them the more likely side to take something from Valencia. Levante have shown they can score at home, but their leaky defence and missing players make it hard to see them keeping Athletic out for 90 minutes. We expect a competitive game in which Athletic’s experience in these meetings should tell in the final stages.
