REF’s picks

Backing over 2.5 goals at 1.98 looks a solid option given Levante's porous home defence and their tendency to be involved in high-scoring encounters. Athletic Bilbao arrive with several key absentees including Nico Williams and Oihan Sancet, which could blunt their attacking fluency, but Levante have leaked goals consistently at the Ciutat de València.

1. 1Levante's last two home matches featured six and six goals respectively, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities.
2. 2Athletic Bilbao are missing influential attackers like Nico Williams and Oihan Sancet, potentially limiting their output.
3. 3Levante have failed to win any of their last five home matches and have conceded in five successive games on their own turf.
