Levante, Athletic Club and La Liga made a quick decision: the match that was delayed yesterday due to bad weather and unfavorable pitch conditions at the Ciutat de València will be played again on Wednesday, October 21, at 8pm (Spain time), in the same stadium. The duel is part of matchday 6 of the regular season in La Liga. The game was not postponed this day, as it happened in some previous cases, because Athletic is scheduled to play this Saturday against Alavés in San Mamés. Based on the policy, a minimum rest interval is required between matches and this cannot be followed if the next day is insisted upon. In addition, the league schedule is also sandwiched between a long and important international break. On the Athletic side, it is important not to lose Unai Simón, Aymeric Laporte, and Nico Williams, who are expected to be selected by selector Luis de la Fuente for the first four matches of the Nations League — against England, the Czech Republic, and twice against Croatia. Because of this, it was clear that the game had to be moved after the window for the national teams. According to calendar analysis, the most suitable week is the one starting on October 19, when the two teams also do not have a midweek game. Theoretically Athletic could have made up for the previous week after the break, but that was not possible for Levante. Levante are also scheduled to play on Monday, October 12, against Sevilla at home, and Friday, October 16, against Deportivo at Riazor — two dates that will add to their schedule if the delayed match is inserted. In order to avoid any clash of games and possible excessive fatigue of the players, it was decided to set Levante–Athletic before the start of the national phase of the Copa del Rey programmed on Wednesday, October 28. This is especially important for Athletic, who have to face the first two rounds of the “torneo del KO” that they previously avoided in previous seasons due to their participation in the Supercopa of Saudi Arabia. All in all, the new date and time provides a fair interval for both teams and allows to respect the obligations to La Liga, the national team, and the upcoming Copa del Rey. Supporters now await the return to action at the Ciutat de València on October 21, 8pm, where both Levante and Athletic will be looking to pick up vital points on matchday 6.

What's next

After the Levante match, Athletic Club will prepare for their next La Liga match against Alavés in San Mamés. Players like Unai Simón, Aymeric Laporte, and Nico Williams are expected to participate in matches for the Nations League, which will be important for their careers and the reputation of La Liga football.
