Levante vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction and Betting Tips for the Spanish La Liga fixture scheduled for Saturday, November 29, 2025, at 17:30 GMT. The match will be broadcast live on Premier Sports and LaLiga TV from the Estadi Ciutat de València in Valencia. Both sides head into this match desperate for points, Levante fighting to stay afloat and Bilbao pushing to climb back into European contention. In this article, you’ll find LaLiga Predictions powered by XpertStats analysis.

  • Levante are winless in their last three La Liga games, conceding heavily along the way.
  • Athletic Bilbao sit 8th with 17 points, despite a recent 4-0 loss to Barcelona.
  • Levante have the second-worst defense in the league, averaging 2.8 goals conceded per match.
  • Athletic Bilbao average 5.33 corners won per game, showing strong attacking intent down the wings.

It’s been a rough ride for Levante lately. Three defeats in a row, nine points from 13 games, and a defense that just can’t keep the door shut. They’ve conceded nearly three goals per game, and although they score at a decent rate (1.2 per match), their leaky backline has cost them dearly. Manager Julian Calero is under real pressure to steady the ship. Can Etta Eyong and Ivan Romero, who’ve combined for nine goals this season, find a way past Bilbao’s disciplined back four? It’s hard to say, but one thing’s certain: Levante can’t afford another collapse at home.

Still, Levante’s games have been thrilling for neutrals. Every single match they’ve played this season has gone over 1.5 goals, and 80% have seen both teams score. That’s chaos football, plain and simple. Fans love it, coaches lose sleep over it. Their 4-3 Copa del Rey win over Orihuela showed flashes of spirit, but they haven’t translated that energy into La Liga form since early October. The Frogs need a spark, and they need it fast.

As for Athletic Bilbao, they’re wobbling but not broken. Sitting in 8th with 17 points, the Basque club has shown grit but struggled for consistency. A 4-0 defeat to Barcelona stung, and a goalless draw with Slavia Prague in Europe didn’t help morale. Even so, Ernesto Valverde’s side remain compact, averaging just 1.83 goals conceded per game. The problem? Scoring. They’re managing just 0.67 goals per match, not enough for a side chasing continental dreams. Still, players like Nico Williams and Alex Berenguer have the flair to change games in an instant.

Statistically, Bilbao might have the upper hand where it matters, on the flanks. They average 5.33 corners won per game, compared to Levante’s 4, suggesting they dominate territorial play. With Sancet and Ruiz de Galarreta suspended, Valverde’s men might rely even more on wing play to stretch the hosts. That could spell danger for Levante’s tired defense. Expect a tense affair, possibly decided by set pieces or a moment of brilliance. It’s anyone’s guess who takes it, but the numbers hint at Bilbao edging the finer margins in this clash of contrasting fortunes.

Levante coach Julián Calero acknowledged the pressure surrounding his position as the team sits penultimate in the table, but stressed that he still feels the full confidence of club owner Pepe Danvila. Calero highlighted the need for calm and mutual trust to overcome the team’s poor results, accepting that criticism is “logical” in this situation. Source: Mundo Deportivo

Prediction
Athletic Bilbao to Have More Corners @1.59
Athletic Bilbao’s attacking structure under Ernesto Valverde naturally generates more corner opportunities than most sides. They average 5.33 corners won per match, compared to Levante’s 4, and their wide players, especially Nico Williams and Berenguer, love to drive toward the byline. Levante’s defensive issues amplify this trend. They concede an average of 7.6 corners per game, one of the highest figures in La Liga. That’s not by accident; Calero’s side often retreats deep and allows sustained pressure. Bilbao’s wingers and overlapping full-backs, such as Berchiche and Gorosabel, are likely to exploit that space repeatedly. Statistically and stylistically, the Basques dominate wing play and ball possession in the opponent’s half. Levante’s reactive, counterattacking setup means they’ll spend long spells defending, further increasing Bilbao’s corner count. Given the metrics, backing Athletic Bilbao to earn more corners offers solid value and aligns perfectly with both teams’ tactical profiles.
