H2H: Villarreal vs Levante – Prediction (La Liga

H2H: Villarreal vs Levante – Comparison.

Villarreal’s Gerard Moreno has scored the game’s opening goal by the tenth minute in the last two LL H2Hs. For the visitors, in-form José Luis Morales has been involved in half of Levante’s eight away league goals this campaign (three goals, one assist). Levante have failed to score before HT in nine of the last ten LL away H2Hs at Villarreal.

Villarreal Insights.

Villarreal’s 2-0 loss at Sevilla in their previous La Liga (LL) outing saw their longest unbeaten run in the top-flight since March 2016 come to an end (W5, D7). That result continued a recent trend though, as each of their last 11 top-flight fixtures – goalless draws excluded – have now witnessed the opening goal scored in the first 25 minutes. The hosts remain one of just two sides yet to lose at home this LL campaign (W4, D4), although only twice have they secured a HT lead here (HT: W2, D3, L3). Strong second-half performances have been Villarreal’s saving grace however, with ‘The Yellow Submarine’ yet to concede after the hour mark at home this LL season.

Levante Insights.

After recording just one loss from their last ten league matches (W3, D6, L1), Levante sit three points above the relegation zone. Now on the verge of claiming back-to-back LL victories for the first time this campaign, Levante will look to keep things tight late on as 47.62% of the league goals they’ve conceded this term arrived after the hour mark. The visitors have registered only a third of their points on the road (W1, D3, L4), and travel here winless in six LL road trips (D3, L3). A lot of that has to do with their habit of conceding first, which they’ve done in a league-high 87.5% of their LL away fixtures this campaign, albeit they have trailed at the break just once (HT: D7, L1).
