Levante vs. Espanyol – Prediction (La Liga – 27.10.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Levante have won eight LaLiga games against Espanyol, more than against any other team in the competition. Also, Espanyol are the team that Levante have scored more goals against (37). Levante enter this game on the back of a defeat, but they’ll be encouraged to know they’ve avoided defeat in every La Liga match following their last seven losses (W2, D5). ‘Granotas’ will also take comfort from a ten-game unbeaten run in home league fixtures (W4, D6). Roger Martí has five goals across Levante’s seven most recent LL home victories, four of which arrived in the second half. Paco López’s side will be on the hunt for goals, especially as each of their last eight league wins saw them score either exactly two or four goals. Additionally, the Valencia-based club have netted more than one goal in eight of their previous ten LL home clashes, but have failed to keep a clean sheet in 24 of their previous 32 home league fixtures (75%).

Levante have earned only two wins across the last 13 competitive H2Hs – seven ended level. Espanyol are the only LL club without a first-half goal this season. Levante have scored 70% of their LL goals this season in the second half. Espanyol are yet to win a LL game this season directly after a UEL game (D1, L4).

Espanyol maintained their love affair with the UEFA Europa League (UEL) on Thursday with another win, but it doesn’t hide from their dreadful start to their LL campaign (W1, D2, L6). They’re winless in five LL contests (D1, L4), yet it’s just two losses in their previous 12 away in the league. Victor Campuzano (ESP) has scored in back-to-back European games, both of which came in away wins. A further concern comes from their league form when deemed as an away outsider, winning just three of such games since the beginning of last season (W3, D8, L8). In fact Pablo Machín’s side have now failed to score in six LL games this season, which is the most of any side in the top flight.
