Levante form and stats

Levante have only collected 2 points from their away games in the La Liga, after 0-2-7 (9 played). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Levante, who have now gone 18 games without a victory. The Cádiz game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Levante might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Valencia proved too strong as Levante slumped to a 3-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Ciudad de Valencia. A huge disappointment for Levante in their last match (vs Valencia). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 3-4 defeat. A mental fixture with plenty of goals last time out for Levante, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that fun game, will this fixture be as refreshing? Martí, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.62. Martí scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Ahead of that match was the Copa Del Rey away draw versus Alcoyano (after extra-time, 3-1 on penalties) that ended 3-3.

The visiting Levante have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 10 goals from 9 games. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For Levante, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the prior ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Villarreal, two draws and three wins for Levante. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
