Our Prediction
Considering Levante’s poor league form and their struggles at the wrong end of the table, combined with Athletic Club’s superior position and dominant head-to-head record, the visitors appear to be the stronger side coming into this match. Athletic has proven capable of getting results against Levante both at home and away. Levante’s defensive issues, evidenced by 24 goals conceded in 13 games, will likely be exploited by an organized Athletic side. Therefore, we are backing Athletic Club to secure all three points.
Our betting tip for this match is:
Athletic Club to Win
