Levante needed a late equaliser to salvage a point in their 1-1 draw at Deportivo La Coruna on Friday night.
The Valencia-based outfit have struggled to find their best form of late, as they are without a win in five consecutive games and have managed only one victory in eight matches played this season.
With that in mind, Luis Castro's troops are just above the relegation zone in 17th place, having earned seven points from a possible 24.
Hugo Sotelo (sprained ankle) and Etta Eyong (thigh) are both still sidelined for the hosts, while joint-top scorer Ivan Romero (3 league goals) is available and expected to lead the attack, with Roger Brugue and Thiago Fernandez anticipated on the left and right flanks.
On the other hand, Athletic Bilbao were held to a goalless draw by Valencia over the weekend, in a match where they only managed two shots on target despite being the favourites.
The visitors are now on a six-match unbeaten run across all competitions, although, interestingly, their last three competitive fixtures have ended in stalemates.
Ahead of this trip, the Basque giants are 11th in La Liga with a 2-3-2 win-draw-loss record. They have played fewer games than any other team in the Spanish top flight.
Head coach Edin Terzic will be unable to call upon the services of the injured Unai Eguiluz (cruciate ligament), Oihan Sancet (calf), and Gorka Guruzeta (cruciate ligament), while Alvaro Djalo's availability is questionable as he struggles with fitness issues.
Nico Williams, who has missed recent matches for the visiting team, has returned to partial group training, though the player's matchday involvement remains a game-time decision for the head coach. His brother Inaki Williams is expected to start up front once again, with support from Alex Berenguer and Robert Navarro in the final third.
Athletic Club have an excellent track record against Levante, having won the last three clashes between these sides, with no defeats in the last 11 H2Hs (W8, D3).

Whispers Predicts: Levante 0-1 Athletic Bilbao
Priced at 5/4 (2.25), Athletic Bilbao are considered favourites by the bookmakers ahead of this skirmish.
These teams are on opposite sides in terms of recent form, and considering Athletic Club's dominance in this fixture, we are confident that the Basque side will claim all the spoils here.
Six of Athletic Bilbao's last seven matches and six of the last eight H2Hs have gone below the 2.5-goal line, and this can be backed at 19/20 (1.95).
Given Athletic Bilbao's run of three consecutive clean sheets, under 0.5 Levante goals at 2/1 (3.00) offers great value, especially if claimed via a BetMGM promo code.
> Under 2.5 total goals at 19/20 (1.95) | Likelihood: Probable
> Under 0.5 Levante goals at 2/1 (3.00) | Likelihood: Possible
