Villarreal vs Levante Game Preview

Villarreal host Levante at the Estadio de la Cerámica in a Valencian Community derby, and this Villarreal vs Levante prediction leans toward the home side to take the points.

Villarreal have won just one of their six LaLiga games this season, that lone victory coming last time out against Malaga, so they badly want to kick-start their campaign at home.

Levante arrive tied with Villarreal on five points, having played one game fewer, and a win here would let them leapfrog their hosts in the standings.

History favors the home side. Villarreal have won their last four games against Levante in all competitions, and Levante's last win at Villarreal came back in 2011.

Villarreal vs Levante Recent Results

Villarreal have been sluggish domestically, banking just one win from six LaLiga games this season, though that came last time out against Malaga. The attack still fires, with over 2.5 goals in six of their last seven LaLiga games. Gerard Moreno remains their go-to man, and Nicolas Pepe has been a live wire out wide.

Levante sit on five points from five games and looked dangerous going forward last time out, storming back from three goals down through Iván Romero and Roger Brugué before falling 4-2 to Barcelona. That result ended a three-game unbeaten run. Brugué has scored in two of his last three LaLiga outings, giving Levante a spark up top.

Villarreal vs Levante Talking Points

There is a real regional derby flavor here, with several players sharing history across both clubs, including Aïssa Mandi. Levante come in slightly rusty after their Matchday 6 game against Athletic Club was postponed due to a waterlogged field, then showed their fight by rallying from three goals down before losing 4-2 to Barcelona. Villarreal, meanwhile, own the recent series and will fancy their attacking numbers at the Estadio de la Cerámica, though their defensive weaknesses leave the door ajar for a Levante side that clearly knows how to create chances.
