Levante form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Levante so far with only 16 points returning home. The records show 4-4-9 (win-draw-lose). With the Levante losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Levante seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Levante aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 339 league minutes without a goal. M. Malsa was the last player to find the net.

Two away games in a row for Levante, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus Celta de Vigo in the La Liga. Prior to that match, the Levante manager F. López Fernández faced defeat when travelling to Elche and losing 0-1.

We have checked recent matches where Levante have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were four victories, two draws and four defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Barcelona in just three days.

The visitors have scored 16 goals from 17 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Levante have seen the ball go into their own net 23 times on the road.
