Athletic Bilbao vs Levante – Athletic Bilbao will host Levante in a Spanish La Liga match on Monday, hoping to get back on track. Marcelino’s side were knocked out of the Copa del Rey in midweek after a 1-0 defeat at Valencia. They can now concentrate entirely on La Liga, with a top-six finish in sight.
Bilbao, on the other hand, must improve their home record for the same reason, especially when facing opponents like Levante. They’ve won three of their previous five home games, including a 4-0 victory over Real Sociedad in their most recent match at the San Mames. However, their consistency will be put to the test, since they have only won three of their last ten home games.
Levante are at the bottom of the standings, and avoiding relegation will take a major effort with safety only 8 points away. Their recent results have improved, with two victories and a draw in their last three games, including a morale-boosting 1-0 victory away at Atletico Madrid. Alessio Lisci’s team has a lot of momentum right now, but it’ll be interesting to see if they can keep it going and pull off a major upset at San Mames tomorrow night.
Athletic Bilbao vs Levante – Hot stat:
When the clubs played earlier this season, they drew a blank. In addition, the last four meetings in all competitions have ended in stalemates, including two Copa del Rey matches. Both sides have scored in six of their last eight encounters. Bilbao have a fantastic record at this venue, with six victories and a draw from the last eight games, and only one loss.
The defense remains a critical area of growth for Lisci’s team, and Bilbao’s solid home form suggests we won’t go wrong betting on the home team. Despite the positives, Bilbao has only kept three clean sheets in 12 home matches this season. This suggests that both teams to score is a good bet, especially given the high frequency of h2h games that result in a tie.
