Insights:
  • Levante have the most conceded goals (41) in La Liga
  • Mallorca have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored away.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Copa Del Rey. That game, against Eibar, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Mallorca.

Levante form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the La Liga this season. Levante have only managed 0 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses from their games here at Estadio Ciudad de Valencia. All in all it has been a very rough period for Levante who hasn’t won a league-game in their last 19 attempts. Their previous win was against Cadiz, 146 days ago.

The fans are hoping that Levante will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-5 away loss in the La Liga game against Villarreal (placed 8th). Levante were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Before that game, the home loss against Valencia with the scoreline 3-4.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Levante have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won zero times, drawn four and lost two.

The Levante fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 9 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Levante defense is not exactly impregnable. 15 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. Levante has at home met teams with this table position (low), two times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.

Mallorca form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Mallorca so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-5 (win-draw-lose).

Two travels in a row for Mallorca, whose manager García Plaza could celebrate last time after the Copa Del Rey win against Eibar. Rodríguez came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Eibar last time out, making the manager García Plaza feel like a tactical genius. Midfield player Llabrés was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.14/10. Llabrés signed up for two assists, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

A 0-1 loss hosting FC Barcelona before that.

Mallorca are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, zero draws and three defeats. From a total of three matches.

Mallorca have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 9 league away games 9 goals have been scored. The Mallorca manager García Plaza has some worries about the defense as 20 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Mallorca - Levante 1-0 was the outcome when these contenders formerly played each other, some time ago this season. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five Levante victories, two draws and three Mallorca wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.
