Villarreal vs Levante Match Summary
Competition | Spanish Primera Division (LaLiga) |
|---|---|
Match Date | Sunday 20 September 2026 |
Match Time | 17:30 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Estadio de la Cerámica |
Villarreal host Levante at the Estadio de la Cerámica on Sunday, and our Villarreal vs Levante prediction leans heavily towards the hosts in a fixture that pits two sides separated by fine margins.
Villarreal finally got going last time out, winning 3-1 away at Malaga for their first La Liga victory of the season, and they will want to build on that at home.
Levante arrive with a game in hand after their trip to Athletic Club was postponed due to heavy rainfall, and a win here would lift them above the hosts in the table.
History points firmly one way: Villarreal have won their last four matches against Levante in all competitions, and Levante are winless in nine La Liga visits to Villarreal, with their last victory coming back in 2011.
Villarreal vs Levante Form
Villarreal have carried the goal threat you would expect from a possession side, with over 2.5 goals landing in six of their last seven LaLiga games. They have had 6+ shots on target in five of their last six matches, so the platform is there. The 3-1 win at Malaga sparked their campaign into life at last.
Levante sit just below the hosts on form and standing, and their recent run was built on solid outings before Barcelona ended a three-game unbeaten streak. Roger Brugué has scored in two of his last three LaLiga appearances, while Iván Romero has attempted 2+ shots in each of his last four, giving them a direct edge up top.

Injuries & Suspensions
Villarreal: Santi Comesaña (Injured/out), Juan Foyth (Injured/doubtful)

Villarreal
Santi Comesaña has been ruled out after picking up an ankle problem this week, a blow to the engine room. Juan Foyth remains a doubt as he works his way back from an Achilles injury, so the hosts may need to reshuffle at the back.
Levante
Levante travel without a trio of absentees. Karl Etta Eyong is out and set to miss the rest of the month, while Álex Primo remains sidelined with a shoulder injury. Hugo Sotelo is the latest to pick up a knock and is a confirmed absentee for this one.

Villarreal vs Levante Talking Points
Iñigo Pérez and Villarreal are still chasing their first home league win of the season at the Estadio de la Cerámica, so there is pressure to turn that Malaga result into momentum in front of their own fans. This fixture also carries plenty of subplots, with several players on show having past ties to both clubs, including Mandi and Karl Etta Eyong. Levante will draw on their character too, having fought back from three goals down before falling 4-2 at home to Barcelona last time out. That fight aside, the numbers point one way: Villarreal have scored 2+ goals in five of their last seven LaLiga meetings with Levante, and the hosts have won the last four home meetings, scoring 14 goals in the process. Levante will need to be far more stubborn than they have been recently to buck that trend.
