Levante UD score, and they get scored against
Six matches, 6 points: won 1, drew 3, lost 2, with 12 goals scored and 13 conceded. Both sides scored in 5 of those 6, and there were three or more goals in the game in 4 of them. One clean sheet.
The win was a 5-2 at home to Real Betis, 53 days before this match. What followed was heavier: 2-4 at home to FC Barcelona 38 days out, then 1-3 away at Villarreal 31 days out. The last two have been draws - 3-3 at home to Sevilla 9 days before this fixture, then 1-1 away to Deportivo de A Coruña 5 days before it.
Home has not been a refuge. Levante have won 1 of 3 there, and away they have won 0 of 3.
Athletic Club have built everything on the back four
Three wins, three draws, no defeats, 12 points. Seven goals scored, one conceded, five clean sheets. They have scored two or more in only 2 of those 6 and failed to score in 2, and both sides scored in just 1 of them - this is a side winning by not giving anything away rather than by overwhelming anyone.
The best of it came early: 2-0 away at Celta Vigo 52 days before this match, then 3-0 at home to Atlético Madrid 46 days out. Since then, 1-1 at home to Elche, 0-0 at home to Deportivo Alavés, a 1-0 win away to Real Sociedad in a club friendly 19 days before this match, and a 0-0 away at Valencia 4 days before it. Two goalless draws in their last four competitive outings.
Away from Bilbao they have won 2 of 3.
Where the two runs meet
A Levante side involved in three or more goals in 4 of 6 runs into a defence that has conceded once. Something has to give, and the recent evidence says it is more likely to be Levante's scoring than Athletic's shape - Levante's goals have come in open, loose games against sides who played on the front foot, which is not what Athletic do.
The last meeting between the two clubs in our records was tight and went Athletic's way: a 0-1 win at the Ciutat de València on 5 April 2026, in Liga F Moeve, 199 days before this one.
Team news
Levante were without Karl Etta Eyong, Alejandro Primo and Hugo Sotelo, with no fresh fitness problems reported, before the trip to A Coruña, according to Sports Mole, while Athletic were missing Oihan Sancet, Nico Williams and Unai Egiluz at Valencia, with Aymeric Laporte facing a late fitness test, per Sports Mole. Levante coach Luís Castro told the club's official site that his team face one of the best sides in LaLiga and have to be very focused.
Levante UD vs Athletic Club prediction
Levante UD and Athletic Club look likely to draw 1-1 in LaLiga at the Estadi Ciutat de València on Wednesday 21 October 2026. Athletic have drawn 3 of their last 6 and have scored two or more in only 2 of them, so a comfortable win does not fit what they are producing. Levante have failed to score in only 1 of 6, which is the part of their record that holds up at home. Athletic's last two competitive matches finished 0-0, and both of Levante's finished level.
Our prediction: Levante UD 1-1 Athletic Club
