5th position in the La Liga table for Villarreal so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 12th-placed Levante visits Estadio de la Cerámica.
- Villarreal have not yet lost a game at home.
- Levante have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their away matches.
It's no vacation for neither Villarreal nor Levante as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Villarreal form and stats
Villarreal have performed here at Estadio de la Cerámica this season with 4 wins from 8 La Liga matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 4 games and lost 0. The home fans are hungry for more even though Villarreal have been steadily collecting points here at Estadio de la Cerámica through three straight draws.
In their previous game, the manager U. Emery Etxegoien led his Villarreal to a defeat in the La Liga match away at Sevilla. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio de la Cerámica. In the match before that, Villarreal hosted Athletic Club and drew the game 1-1.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Villarreal matches with similar probabilities have ended with four wins, zero draws and two defeats (from six games).
There will be little rest for Villarreal after this match as they are travelling to Zamora for a Copa Del Rey game in only three days.
Villarreal have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estadio de la Cerámica with 12 goals in 8 league matches. From these home matches, Villarreal have conceded only 6 goals.
Levante form and stats
Levante have only collected 6 points from their away games in the La Liga, after 1-3-4 (8 played).
Levante go into this game after a win, the home game against Real Betis that ended 4-3. Before that, Levante travelled to Huesca and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Real Betis was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Levante when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing zero and winning one game.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Levante manager F. López Fernández as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Portugalete.
Levante are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 8 away goals from 8 games (in the league). Levante's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 12 goals from these trips.
