Barcelona head to Valencia sitting top of LaLiga with a perfect record, and this match shapes up as a mismatch on paper.
Levante arrive 11th in the table with five points from their opening four fixtures, a mixed start that has already featured a heavy defeat, a draw and a couple of promising results.
Barcelona sit at the summit on 12 points from four wins, and a strong Real Madrid result the day before means the Catalans need to keep winning to hold outright first place.
Barcelona have won their last four meetings against Levante in all competitions, scoring at least three goals in each of their last five matches against this opponent in LaLiga.
Levante vs Barcelona Form
Levante failed to win either of their opening two fixtures, losing 3-0 to Espanyol before drawing with Osasuna. They have since kicked on, beating Real Betis and picking up a point away at Malaga. A 5-2 home win over Betis at the Ciutat de Valencia showed there are goals in this side, with Iker Romero leading the line.
Barcelona have started as they finished last season, top of the table with four wins from four, scoring 17 goals and conceding just twice. They also thumped Feyenoord 5-1 in the Champions League. Raphinha is flying, having scored in each of his last four LaLiga outings, with Lamine Yamal a constant threat alongside him.

Levante
Levante are without a pair of injured players. Karl Etta Eyong is the latest to pick up a problem and is set to be ruled out for the rest of the month, while Alex Primo misses out once again with a shoulder injury. That leaves the hosts leaning on a settled first eleven, with Iker Romero the focal point up top.
Barcelona
Barcelona have a couple of absentees of their own. Roony Bardghji suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury and is out until near the end of the season, while Frenkie de Jong is missing with a knee problem, though he could return in October. Jesse Bisiwu is back and available following his recent injury.

Levante vs Barcelona Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: This one points firmly one way. Barcelona are clear favourites at 1/5 with Ladbrokes, and with 17 goals scored in four games and a settled, in-form attack, the visitors should have too much for a mid-table Levante. Our prediction is a comfortable 3-1 away win, with goals at both ends given the hosts' record in this fixture.
Best Bets
Back Levante left-back Manuel Sánchez to commit over 1.5 fouls. Stationed on Levante's left, Sánchez has the thankless job of tracking Lamine Yamal as Barcelona camp in the final third, and that duel should force plenty of cynical challenges as the hosts try to slow the winger down.
Back Barcelona midfielder Marc Bernal to record over 1.5 shots. Operating in the engine room for a side projected to dominate and rack up over 20 shots against Levante, Bernal will get forward regularly, and the volume of chances flowing through the middle makes his shot count an appealing angle.
Levante vs Barcelona Bet Builder
Our four-leg Levante vs Barcelona bet builder tips lean into Barcelona's firepower: Raphinha to score anytime, Lamine Yamal over 3.5 shots, Yamal over 1.5 shots on target, and over 1.5 total away goals.
Raphinha is the obvious starting point, having scored in each of his last four LaLiga appearances and looking razor-sharp in front of goal this term.
Lamine Yamal to fire over 3.5 shots stacks up well, with the teenager attempting four or more shots in each of his last three LaLiga outings.
Yamal over 1.5 shots on target follows naturally, backed by him recording two or more on target in each of his last three LaLiga appearances.
Over 1.5 away goals rounds it off, with Barcelona scoring at least twice in each of their last four LaLiga matches and registering 7+ shots on target in all four.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 23/10 and is as short as 9/5 elsewhere.

Levante vs Barcelona Talking Points
The gulf in the table is stark, with Barcelona top and Levante 13th on form, but the hosts will fancy their chances of causing problems. Levante have publicly struck a defiant note ahead of kick-off, insisting the match starts 0-0 and with eleven against eleven. Barcelona, meanwhile, have been drilling high-intensity pressing and mental sharpness, knowing that even a drop in focus disrupts their system. With Barcelona's attack in ruthless form and a fixture that has served up goals galore, the pressure is on the visitors to keep their perfect start intact.
