La Liga returns to Levante’s ground on 30 November 2025 with Levante hosting Athletic Club. The contrast between the two teams’ seasons so far is clear in the numbers: Levante arrive with more goals but languish near the foot of the table, while Athletic have looked blunt in attack despite a patchy set of recent results.
Quick snapshot — form, facts and figures
Levante (season to date): 13 games, 9 points (W2 D3 L8), 16 goals scored, 24 conceded, goal difference −8. Their matches show a high incidence of both teams scoring (BTTS 62%) and an above-average share of goals early in games (top minute window 0–15: 22%).
Athletic Club (season to date, as logged): 5 games, 4 points (W1 D1 L3), 4 goals scored, 9 conceded, goal difference −5. The raw attacking numbers are worrying: the team needs on average 112.5 minutes to score (season sample) and shot conversion has been low (around 21%).
| Key indicator | LEV | ATH |
|---|---|---|
| Games (season) | 13 | 5 |
| Points | 9 | 4 |
| Goals For (season) | 16 | 4 |
| Goals Against (season) | 24 | 9 |
| BTTS (Yes %) | 62% | 40% |
What to expect from Levante
The season numbers underline a familiar Levante profile: they score at a reasonable clip for a low-ranked side but are porous at the back. Their attack returns (16 goals in 13 fixtures) and an efficient shot conversion (reported at about 37% in the sample) mean they can punish open games. The downside is defensive instability — 24 conceded — and a run of results that keeps them under pressure in the table.
Form in November has been mixed: visible recent results include a 3–1 win at home on 8 November and a 1–0 defeat on 21 November. Those swings capture the team’s inconsistency: capable of bright attacking phases but liable to give away too much in transition.
| Levante — last 5 (selected) | Result | Competition |
|---|---|---|
| vs Atletico Madrid (08 Nov) | 3–1 | La Liga |
| vs Valencia (21 Nov) | 1–0 | La Liga |
| vs Celta Vigo | 1–2 | La Liga |
| vs Mallorca | 1–1 | La Liga |
| Cup / preseason / friendlies | Mixed | Various |
What Athletic Club bring to the table
Athletic Club currently register far fewer goals than their hosts and appear to be suffering from an attacking drought: season data shows only four goals from five matches and a low shot conversion. There are, however, flashes of potency — a 4–0 win over Oviedo is recorded in recent results — but those are offset by heavy defeats such as a 0–4 reverse at Barcelona. The pattern is inconsistency rather than a fully formed tactical identity.
Defensively Athletic have been beatable (9 conceded in the season sample). Their form sample suggests they don’t concede in every game — clean-sheet figures are variable — but the main issue is lack of regular goals; the team’s top minute windows and minutes-per-goal figures point to a side that often struggles to find the net.
| Athletic Club — last 5 (selected) | Result | Competition |
|---|---|---|
| vs Barcelona (22 Nov) | 0–4 | La Liga |
| vs Oviedo (02 Nov) | 4–0 | La Liga |
| vs Real Sociedad (01 Nov) | 3–2 | La Liga |
| vs Newcastle | 2–0 | Friendly / Cup |
| vs Slavia Praha (25 Nov) | 0–0 | European / Cup |
Head-to-head and marketplace signals
Recent head-to-head records favour Athletic numerically: the compiled summary shows Athletic with more wins and slightly higher goal returns across recent meetings. Still, many of their past fixtures have been tight affairs with a number of draws.
| Head-to-head (recent summary) | Levante | Athletic |
|---|---|---|
| Goals (aggregate) | 11 | 15 |
| Wins (recent) | 1 | 5 |
| Clean sheets (recent) | 2 | 2 |
| Recent H2H sample | Mixed | Slight edge |
| Typical scoreline | Low–medium scoring | Low–medium scoring |
Market pointers and possible scenarios
Market-derived picks in the provided data give Athletic Club a 44% probability of victory. The same source leans to a low-scoring outcome: Under 2.5 goals is placed at 54% and “BTTS: No” at 68%. Those signals align with Athletic’s season-long trouble to score and Levante’s tendency toward open but inconsistent games.
| Market signal | Probability / pick | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Match winner (1X2) | Athletic — 44% | Slight favourite |
| Over/Under 2.5 | Under — 54% | Lean to low-scoring |
| BTTS | No — 68% | Market expects one side kept quiet |
| Most likely pattern | Close game | Few chances, decisive moments |
Possible outcomes
- A narrow Athletic win would reinforce the idea that Athletic can grind results even when their finishing is poor — useful evidence if they want to climb steadily.
- A Levante victory would underline their capacity to be dangerous at home and would raise uncomfortable questions about Athletic’s attacking bluntness.
- A low-scoring draw (or a result with one team kept quiet) would match market expectations and highlight both teams’ defensive lapses and attacking frustrations.
There are narratives at stake: Levante need points and momentum to escape the relegation fight, while Athletic must show they can remedy their scoring drought before fixtures against higher-ranked opposition arrive. On paper this looks tight; in practice the team that takes its limited chances will take the three points.
