Espanyol vs Levante Form
Espanyol come into this game in deeply troubling form. Their last outing saw them suffer a 1-0 defeat away to Rayo Vallecano. This result extends a dismal run for the hosts, who have failed to win any of their last 15 matches in LaLiga. Over their last six league fixtures, Espanyol have managed just two draws and four losses, highlighting a significant struggle for points. They are ranked 20th in the league's form table over the last six games, indicating the worst recent performance among all teams.
In contrast, Levante arrive with a more positive recent record despite their precarious league position. Their last match saw them secure a 2-0 home victory against Sevilla. Looking at their last six matches across all competitions, Levante have recorded three wins, two draws, and just one defeat. This solid run of form sees them ranked 5th in the league's form table, suggesting a team on the upswing, even if it hasn't translated significantly to their overall standing yet. Notably, there have been under 2.5 goals scored in six of Levante's last seven games in LaLiga, pointing to a trend of tighter, lower-scoring affairs involving the visitors.
Espanyol vs Levante Head to Head
The most recent clash between these two teams, back in January 2026 in LaLiga, ended in a 1-1 draw at Levante's home ground.

Prediction: Espanyol 1-1 Levante
Espanyol's shocking run of form continues, as they have failed to win in their previous 15 LaLiga matches. At home, they've failed to win in their last six league games, a stark contrast to their strong start to the season where they won six of their opening nine home matches. Their attacking strengths lie in set pieces and creating scoring chances, but they struggle significantly with keeping possession, finishing chances, and are defensively vulnerable against attacks down the wings, through balls, and counter-attacks. They also have a notable weakness in protecting a lead.
Levante, despite being 19th in the overall standings, are not performing like a relegation-threatened side based on recent form. They've lost just once in their last six matches, securing three wins and two draws during that period. Their strengths mirror Espanyol's in attacking set pieces and creating chances, but they too struggle with possession, protecting leads, and defending against counter-attacks. Their defensive frailty extends to attacks down the wings and set pieces.
The last meeting between the two sides in January ended in a 1-1 draw. Given Espanyol's current struggles and Levante's improved, albeit cautious, recent performances, a tight affair is expected. Levante's tendency for low-scoring games in LaLiga further supports this. While Espanyol have a strong historical record against Levante, their current league form is a major concern. A draw seems a very plausible outcome, with both teams cancelling each other out.

Given that there have been under 2.5 goals scored in six of Levante's last seven games in LaLiga, and Espanyol's struggles to score consistently while also being defensively vulnerable, a low-scoring game is highly anticipated. Both teams exhibit weaknesses in protecting a lead and defending counter-attacks, but their attacking output is not consistently high enough to suggest a goal fest. This fact, combined with the predicted 1-1 scoreline, makes 'Under 2.5 Goals' a valuable betting angle.
