Levante: A Mixed Home Record
Levante comes into this match with a varied recent form. Their last five outings have seen them secure two wins, two draws, and suffer a single loss. At home, they've been more convincing, winning four of their last five matches, which highlights their attacking prowess with an average of 2.20 goals scored per game.

Athletic Club: Struggles on the Road
Athletic Club, on the other hand, has had a rough patch on the road, losing four of their last five away games. Despite these struggles, they managed to pull off a commanding 2-0 victory against Celta Vigo.

Much like their opponents, Athletic Club has no injury or suspension concerns, allowing them to also deploy their best lineup.
