In the postponed Spanish Primera match, Levante will host Athletic Bilbao. The hosts are still close to the relegation zone, while the guests are aiming for the European Cup zone. Who will be able to score tournament points on October 21st? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Levante
Current form
Levante spends another season fighting to keep his residence permit. So far, the team cannot rise at least to the middle of the table. Now the club is on the 17th line and only in terms of additional indicators is ahead of Elche from the top three. In the last five matches, the team from Valencia has not won a single victory. We managed to score points in matches with Malaga (0:0), Sevilla (3:3) and Deportivo (1:1), but meetings with Barcelona (2:4) and Villarreal (1:3) ended in defeats.
Disqualifications and injuries
Primo will not play due to injury. The entry of Eyong and Sotelo into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
The team has won only one game this season.
The hosts have scored in each of the last four matches.
Provisional squad: Ryan - Sanchez, Ndukwe, De la Fuente, Perez - Bardeli, Requena, Rey - Fernandez, Romero, Brugi
Athletic Bilbao
Current form
Athletic started the season with two defeats in a row, but then managed to win over Celta (2:0) and Atletico Madrid (3:0). In the last rounds, the Basques played exclusively in a draw: Edin Terzic's team shared points with Elche (1:1), Alaves (0:0) and Valencia (0:0). In the standings, the team from Bilbao takes 11th place, but has two matches left and has the opportunity to catch up with competitors from the European Cup zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
Egiluz, Guruseta and Sanchet will miss the match due to injuries. The appearance of Djalo and Nico Williams on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
The team has not conceded in the last three matches
The guests have not lost in the last five matches.
Provisional squad: Simon - Bershish, Laporte, Alvarez, Areso - Guerenabarrena, Ruiz - Berenguer, Canales, Williams - Sannadi
Athletic is not showing high performance this season. Only Malaga, Valencia and Getafe score fewer goals. The last two matches of the Basques ended without goals, for sure, the guests will not force the events here either, as well as the hosts. The teams will play the next round this weekend, so we need to keep our strength up.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.87
Recently, rivals have been playing for a draw quite often. Opponents are not willing to risk three points, especially at this stage of the championship, when there is still a lot to fix. The clubs will probably share the tournament points in this match, too.
Our betting tip is a draw for 3.25
Betting on corners
In the last two matches of the championship, the hosts managed to beat their rivals on corners. Probably, the same outcome awaits us in the duel against Athletic, which has not been so active in attack lately. We suggest betting on Levante's victory by the corners.
Our prediction is that Levante will win on corners in 2.65
