Athletic Club – Levante

Athletic Club host Levante in what promises to be a tightly contested fixture, with the Basque side sitting ninth in the table on seven points from two wins, a draw and two defeats, and a narrow +1 goal difference. Levante arrive in San Mamés in 13th place, having collected five points from one victory, two draws and two losses, and they trail their opponents by a modest two‑goal deficit. Both teams have scored seven goals this season, but Athletic enjoy a slightly better defensive record, conceding six compared with Levante’s nine. The clash could prove pivotal for Athletic’s push back into the top half, while Levante will be looking to close the gap on the mid‑table and climb out of the lower tier.
