Recent Form
Levante have failed to win in their last five matches: three draws and two defeats. The run shows a home side struggling to collect points. The picture is not completely bleak, though, as they took at least a point in three of those five games.
Athletic Bilbao, by contrast, are unbeaten in their last five: one win and four draws. This suggests a visiting team that is hard to beat but also finds it difficult to close matches out.
Looking at both sides together, seven of the ten recent matches ended in draws. That keeps a balanced, cautious game firmly on the table. In terms of form momentum, Athletic Bilbao's unbeaten run puts them a step ahead.

Goal Expectation and Key Stats
The most interesting aspect of this match is how different the two teams' goal profiles are.
Levante: The hosts average 1.4 goals scored and 2.2 goals conceded per match. Total goals in Levante matches average 3.6. Both teams have scored in 80% of their games, and 80% of their matches have gone past the lowest goal tier. At higher tiers, the Over rate sits at 60%. In short, Levante games tend to be open, fast and loose at the back.
Athletic Bilbao: The visitors show the opposite picture. They average just 0.4 goals scored and only 0.2 conceded per match. Total goals in Athletic matches average only 0.6. Both teams scored in 20% of their games, and 20% of their matches went past the lowest goal tier. At higher tiers, the Over rate is 0%. These numbers show a side that keeps its matches closed and low-scoring.
When the two profiles meet, no clear goal picture emerges. Levante's 2.2 goals conceded, set against Athletic's 0.4 goals scored, suggests the visitors may have limited scoring chances. On the other hand, Levante's scoring tendency will be tested against Athletic's 0.2 goals conceded. Each side's numbers send a strong signal in its own area, but they do not point in the same direction.
The iTahmin Over potential tag for this match is at a weak/risky level. The reason is that Levante's high goal average clashes with Athletic's low-scoring match pattern. The hosts' data supports the Over side, while the visitors' data weakens it.
iTahmin Verdict
Based on the data, Athletic Bilbao offer the safer profile, with an unbeaten run and a very low goals-conceded average. Levante's winless run, meanwhile, points to negative momentum for the hosts. The balance therefore tilts slightly toward the visitors, although Athletic's difficulty in producing goals limits that edge.
On goal expectation, the picture is mixed. Levante's open style keeps the Over scenario alive, while Athletic's habit of playing closed games pulls it down. The high share of draws in recent matches also keeps a cautious scenario in play.
In short, this match stands out as a risky-tagged game without a clear direction. Form, defensive strength and goal averages should be read together.
