Levante host Athletic Club with both sides seeking momentum
Levante and Athletic Club meet at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia separated by just two points as both sides look to stabilise their early-season form.
Levante sit 13th with five points after five games. Luís Castro’s side have experienced a mixed start, most recently falling to a 2-4 home defeat against Barcelona. Despite that loss, they have been formidable at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia, winning nine of their last ten matches on home soil across all competitions.
Athletic Club occupy 9th place with seven points from their opening five fixtures. Now under the management of Edin Terzic, the visitors are looking to bounce back from a 1-1 draw against Elche. While their home form has been strong, they have struggled on the road, losing four of their previous five away matches.
