Preview

This is the matchday-six game that was called off in September after a storm, now played on Wednesday night at the Ciutat de València. Levante sit 17th with seven points from eight games and are five matches without a win since beating Betis 5-2 on 29 August; they drew 1-1 at Deportivo last time out. Athletic are 11th with nine points from seven games and drew 0-0 at Mestalla on Saturday. That draw cost them Gorka Guruzeta, who the club confirmed has torn the cruciate ligament in his left knee and needs surgery. Oihan Sancet is still out with a calf problem, and Nico Williams only returned to group training on Monday after a thigh injury, so his place in the squad is not settled. Athletic have the better recent record in this fixture, with four wins and a draw in the last five meetings, including a 2-0 win here last November. With Athletic short of attacking players, we lower their win chance to 40% and raise under 2.5 goals to 54.7%. Neither reaches our 55% bar, so there is no pick.
