Barcelona form and stats

The away team, who have the most scored goals (80) in La Liga, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 12 wins, 1 draw and only 4 losses in the La Liga. Barcelona has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Barcelona's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Atletico Madrid that finished 0-0. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Valencia at their stadium, the result 3-2.

Marc-André ter Stegen had red hot gloves after the game against Atletico Madrid, shaping the outcome of the game with six saves made.

Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with Barcelona given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed five matches with four wins as expected, zero draws and one surprise home win. The favourites won two of these games by at least two goals.

With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Barcelona are regular goalscorers on their travels. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (15 so far).

Head 2 Head

Barcelona - Levante 1-0 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Levante won three games, zero matches ended with a draw and Barcelona has seven wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: seven / three
