Levante welcome Athletic Club to their ground on Wednesday evening as La Liga's Regular Season reaches its sixth matchday. The hosts sit 14th in the 20-team table with five points from five matches, placing them in the bottom third of the table. Athletic Club occupy ninth place on seven points, keeping them in mid-table.

The two points separating the sides make this a meaningful fixture for Levante in particular. They have recorded one win, two draws and two defeats so far, with a goals record of seven scored and nine conceded. Athletic Club have two wins, one draw and two defeats to their name, with seven goals scored and six conceded.

Levante's recent form shows five points taken from their last five matches. Their sequence reads: a 2-4 home loss to Barcelona, a 0-0 draw away at Malaga, a 5-2 home win over Real Betis, a 0-0 draw away at Osasuna and a 3-0 defeat at Espanyol. Athletic Club have taken seven points from their last five, their run comprising a 1-1 home draw with Elche, a 3-0 home win over Atletico Madrid, a 2-0 away win at Celta Vigo, a 2-0 home defeat to Barcelona and a 1-3 home loss to Sevilla.

The head-to-head record from the current campaign favours the visitors. Athletic Club won 4-2 when the sides met in February 2026, and they also claimed a 2-0 victory at Levante in November 2025. Levante have not taken a point from either of those two recent encounters.

With Levante looking to move away from the bottom third and Athletic Club aiming to maintain their mid-table standing, Wednesday's match at 19:30 UTC carries clear significance for both sides at this early stage of the Regular Season.
