Levante vs Athletic Bilbao Predictions

• Levante have not won a league game this season
• Both teams have scored in three of Levante’s last four matches, a statistic mirrored by Bilbao
• Athletic Bilbao are unbeaten away from home in La Liga in 2021/22

Levante In Trouble

After a lower mid-table finish and run to the Copa del Rey semi-finals (where they lost to Bilbao) last season, the 2021/22 campaign has been a huge struggle for Levante.

They are yet to register a La Liga victory and sit in the relegation zone, but have collected six points so far this season courtesy of six draws, the joint most number of stalemates in the division.

That trend could well continue against an Athletic side who have also drawn half a dozen matches, with the difference being they have also won four times to move into eighth place in the table.

Athletic Strong On The Road

Five of Bilbao’s six draws have come away from home, including three successive 1-1 stalemates, my predicted scoreline for this game.

They have in fact kept five clean sheets this season, but, like Levante, have conceded in each of their last four matches.

At the other end, although they failed to score against Cadiz last time out, Bilbao have been potent, netting in all bar three of their matches so far, and it looks unlikely that Levante’s defence will be able to keep them at bay.

Both teams to score looks a strong option, and with these two sides both being draw specialists, I predict a 1-1 stalemate.
