Levante UD vs Athletic Club

Levante welcome Athletic Bilbao to the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia in a clash that matters more than the two-point gap suggests, with both sides looking to build momentum inside the top half of the table. The hosts have been wildly inconsistent, following a 5-2 rout of Real Betis with a 4-2 collapse against Barcelona, and Luís Castro must again do without Karl Etta Eyong (thigh), while Alejandro Primo is a doubt. Athletic arrive in far better shape, unbeaten in three and fresh off wins over Celta Vigo and Atletico Madrid before drawing with Elche. Nico Williams, Oihan Sancet and Robert Navarro should again feed Inaki Williams, though the visitors are missing Gorka Guruzeta and Dani Vivian through injury. Athletic haven't lost to Levante since 2018, and that dominance should hold. Our prediction: 1-2
