Athletic Bilbao vs Levante UD Soccer Prediction Today
In the only Monday match in La Liga are facing the teams of Bilbao and Levante. For the hosts, it is not all that much, the guests from Levante want to take another step towards relegation. We deliver in our La Liga Bet Tips as usual all information and statistics for this duel.
Athletic Bilbao
The traditional club from the Basque country can not be satisfied with its season so far. Because: Athletic is currently ranked 14th with 40 points. This does not have to do with relegation, but the demands in Bilbao are of course completely different after the last few years. On Monday, Levante is sure to meet a highly motivated opponent. The recent results Bilbao come not necessarily lazy: Recently it was enough against Real Madrid and thus an absolute top club to a 1-1 draw, before that one had to bow Deportivo La Coruna and thus a relegation candidate, so on a similar wavelength surfs like Levante. (2: 3). The last victory was – again surprisingly – away against the top 5 team from Villareal, which could be defeated 3-1. After all, Bilbao has always hit in the last 4 games. However, the fact is – as further proof of the lack of consistency of the Basques in 2017/2018 – that Bilbao could not celebrate 2 victories in a row in the second half of the season. The last time this was on the game days 17 and 18 of the case, therefore still in the calendar year 2017. Strengths we see Bilbao especially on the defensive and here especially in home games. With 5 wins in 16 games you can not speak of a track record, however, Bilbao has also lost only 3 of these matches and conceded only 12 goals. Accordingly, a bet in the form of an over / under bet would also make sense in this game. Especially since the home side scored in the previous home games on average only one hit per match. With 36 total goals scored, they are generally among the weakest offensive teams in La Liga. Hope and Cuco Ziganda’s team will face direct duel with Levante on Monday. 6 of the last 7 duels won the home side, only once was a draw and Bilbao scored at least 2 goals in all these duels. We see strengths in the case of Table 14. Especially in the physical area, especially at high balls, we see advantages for the homeowners. Even in terms of personnel, Bilbao is certainly better positioned than the opponent. With the exception of the Aritz Aduriz in question, all squad players are available. This is currently the best scorer of his team.
UD Levante
Levante is in La Liga just before the declared goal of the season, the league. The climber is currently on the ejection seat, is in 17th position, but also has 6 and more points ahead of the teams in the relegation zone. In addition, they were in the last few weeks significantly more consistent and above all successful on the way as the Monday opponents from Bilbao: Last Thursday, you could decide the key game against Málaga 1-0 for themselves, before you lost against Atlético Madrid smoothly with 0: 3, but this was the only defeat that Levante had to take in the last 7 league games. Because even against Las Palmas (2: 1), Getafe (1: 0) or Eibár (2: 1) kept the men from the suburb of Valencia the upper hand. Fact is however also: 3 of the mentioned 4 victories were retracted at home, generally Levante – one would say, typically for a climber – at home clearly more successful than abroad. 5 out of 7 achievements in the current season arrive in their own stadium. How strong you have increased in the second half of the season and especially in recent weeks, shows the fact that alone 4 of these 7 full successes since the beginning of March 2018 have been celebrated. That not too many goals are to be expected on Monday, not only show the goals scores of Bilbao, but also those of the riser. With already 7 defeats in away games you have scored only a meager 11 hits in this, belongs to the statistics of the away-offensives to the weakest teams in the league. In addition, there are considerable personal difficulties that are currently plaguing coach Paco Lopez. Not less than 5 players will probably not be available on Monday, including the suspended Rochina or the injured key players Ivan Lopez and Raul Fernandez. Strengths in the game forward we see especially in standard situations, even the left wing can be seen as a weapon. One of the biggest problems is the defensive foreign positions, and Levante is one of the teams with the most ball losses in La Liga. An absolute key player in the attack is Morales, who with 6 hits and 5 assists in fact represents the ups and downs in the offensive of the riser.
