On Friday night, Levante host Villarreal at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia, as both teams look to record their first La Liga wins of the new campaign.
Levante started the new season with a 1-0 defeat at Alaves. The result was typical of the inconsistent nature of the home sides form in recent months, as they have won three, lost two and drawn two of their last seven league matches.
The home sides recent La Liga games have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in nine of their last 11 matches in the Spanish top-flight.
Levante have a mixed recent record on home soil of late in La Liga. The Valencia-based outfit are unbeaten in six home games but have only won two of their last nine league games at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia.
The home side also has a poor recent record against Villarreal, losing four of their last five matches in the Spanish top-flight.
Villarreal started their 2019/20 campaign with an exciting 4-4 draw at home against Granada. The Yellow Submarine’s recent form in La Liga has been inconsistent, as the visitors have recorded just one win in their last five league games. However, they have drawn three of their last five matches in the Spanish top-flight.
The visitors recent La Liga matches have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four outings.
Villarreal’s recent away form in La Liga has been inconsistent. However, a record of just three wins in their previous 16 games on their travels in the Spanish top-flight is a poor one.
The visitors have scored in their last seven away games in La Liga after failing to score in their previous four away matches.
Forebet predicts that Villarreal will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to kick start their campaign.
