*These figures were accurate at the time of publishing.
Levante suffered a 4-2 home defeat against Barcelona over the weekend.
Facing a three-goal deficit, the Valencia-based side tried everything to turn the game around. They managed two late goals to get back into it, but Karim Adeyemi scored in stoppage time to guarantee the three points for Barcelona.
With that in mind, Luis Castro's troops have won only one of their five league outings this season; they have earned five points from a possible 15, which leaves them in 13th place at the time of writing.
Etta Eyong is sidelined with a thigh injury and remains the only absentee for the hosts. Roger Brugue scored in the defeat against Barcelona, bringing his tally to three goals in his last three appearances. The 29-year-old is expected to start once again.
Athletic Bilbao, meanwhile, are coming off a disappointing 1-1 draw against Elche.
The Basque giants had won back-to-back games against Atletico Madrid and Celta Vigo but were unable to beat one of the league's worst teams at home.
Edin Terzic's side are ninth in La Liga, having earned seven points from their five league fixtures. The former Borussia Dortmund manager will be unable to call upon the services of Gorka Guruzeta and Peio Canales, as both players are sidelined due to hamstring and muscular injuries, respectively.
Inaki Williams, who has had at least one goal contribution in each of his last three appearances, suffered a knock during the 1-1 draw with Elche, but the veteran forward should recover just in time for this clash.
Athletic Bilbao have been the dominant side in this fixture over the last decade, as they have won their last three meetings with Levante and are unbeaten in the last 11 H2Hs (W8, D3).

Whispers Predicts: Levante 1-2 Athletic Bilbao
Priced at 5/4 (2.25), Athletic Bilbao are considered favourites by the bookies.
The visitors have strung together a three-game unbeaten run, and considering their dominance over Levante in recent years, we are confident that the Basque side will emerge victorious after 90 minutes.
Both teams were on the scoresheet in five of the last seven skirmishes between these outfits, and this can be backed at 7/10 (1.70).
We also fancy over 10.5 total corners at 19/20 (1.95), as was the case in four of the visiting team's last five outings.
> Over 2.5 total goals at 5/6 (1.83) | Likelihood: Probable
