Match Preview
It is early days in the Spanish Primera Division and neither Espanyol or Levante have been pulling up any trees. Each side has won two of its respective seven games and there is just a point separating 10th-placed Levante from 14th-placed Espanyol. Each comes into this clash at the RCDE Stadium on the back of a respectable defeat.

Espanyol won two of their three home games, beating Celta Vigo 2-1 and Deportivo 4-1, but lost 2-0 in their most recent outing at Real Madrid. Levante have picked up just one point on the road from two games, that coming via a 1-1 draw at Real Madrid, before they fell 4-0 at Betis. Last time out, Deportivo Alaves handed Juan Muniz’s team a second consecutive defeat, winning 2-0 at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia.
Our Espanyol vs Levante preview and soccer predictions suggest that Levante are unlikely to go a third straight game without a goal, particularly at a stadium where they have had scoring success before. With the hosts having netted a total of six times in their last two home games, the value lies with both teams scoring. Our Espanyol vs Levante predictions suggest the hosts are in slightly better form, are in a false position – having played three of the top sides already – and should be followed to win.
Espanyol vs Levante Prediction and Betting Advice
Espanyol have a fair return of 11 goals in seven games, particularly when considering that they have already faced Barcelona, Sevilla and Real Madrid, who respectively occupy first, second and fifth spots in the Primera Division. Their only surprise defeat came at the hands of Leganes, who have 11 points from seven games and sit seventh. Despite a tough early run, seven points from three games before a defeat to Madrid tells us they are finding their form.
Levante have taken points from Real Madrid and Valencia, and they beat Real Sociedad 3-0 before their two back-to-back defeats. While they have scored just eight times in seven games, Levante have historically enjoyed their trips to Barcelona’s second club, having scored at least once in seven of their last nine league games at Espanyol.
Both teams have scored in eight of the last 10 league meetings and in seven of the last nine held on Espanyol’s turf. Our Espanyol vs Levante betting tips suggest this is a statistically worthwhile trend to follow and both teams to score is over-priced with Ladbrokes.
Enis Bardhi has scored four of Levante’s eight goals thus far and may be fair bet at 23/4 with Unibet to score at any time. However, a glance at the visitors’ record suggests that there is potentially a safer wager to be struck. For despite their scoring success at Espanyol, Levante have won just once in their last nine Primera Division visits.
That signifies we should be looking at either a home win or a scoring draw and at the current soccer odds, backing the hosts to win appears to be one of the more solid Espanyol vs Levante bets. Espanyol are a shade of odds-on and that seems perfectly acceptable, with Bet365 offering a little better value than most.
