Match Analysis
Levante, struggling at home and sitting 19th, face a Villarreal side pushing for Champions League places. Levante's attack has been blunt, averaging just over a goal per game at home and failing to score in two of their last five. Villarreal, despite some injuries to key players, have a far superior attack and away record. The away side should control the match, with Levante likely to sit deep and struggle to create. Villarreal's defense is not impenetrable, but Levante's lack of firepower makes a clean sheet for the visitors likely. Expect a low-scoring game, with Villarreal the probable winners.
