Posted March 3rd, 2021 | By: Tom Dunstan

Competition: Copa del Rey

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 4/5 @ 888sport

With a spot in the final of this year’s Copa del Rey still hanging in the balance after their 1-1 draw in the first-leg, Levante will host Athletic Bilbao on Thursday night.

Starting with the hosts, playing out yet another stalemate when they faced off against Thursday’s opponents on La Liga duties last time out, Levante have a reputation for being a draw specialist. In their 25 top-flight matchups this season, they have recorded seven wins, 11 draws and seven defeats, scoring 35 and conceding 34 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 32, they find themselves sat ninth in the table and still holding a two-point buffer from slipping out of the top-half. As for their recent run of results, playing out another 1-1 draw against Bilbao last time out, Levante have played out a stalemate in four of their last six matchups across all formats. It should also be noted, the midweek hosts have seen each of their last five straight appearances finish with under 2.5 goals by the final whistle.

As for the visitors, also last seen playing out that 1-1 draw against Levante last week, Athletic Bilbao find themselves in an almost identical position to their Copa del Rey opponents. In their 24 La Liga matchups so far this season, they have recorded eight wins, six draws and 10 defeats, scoring 34 and conceding 28 in return. Managing to muser themselves a points tally of 30 and still hanging onto their spot in the top-half of the table, they also find themselves sat a single place below Thursday’s hosts. As for their recent run of results, including that 1-1 draw against Levante last time out, Athletic Bilbao have seen five of their last six matchups across all formats finish in a draw after 90 minutes. With five of those six contests also finishing with under 2.5 goals by the final whistle, we’re backing a similar outcome in midweek.
