*These figures were accurate at the time of publishing.
At the start of the year, Espanyol were comfortably in fifth place and were in the hunt for a UEFA Champions League spot.
However, 2026 has not been particularly kind on the hosts, as they are now 14th, only four points from the relegation zone.
In 15 matches played this year, the Catalan side have four draws and 10 defeats, with four of those losses coming in their last five games aline.
On the positive side, coach Manolo Gonzalez has no injury concerns ahead of this encounter, as Espanyol have a clean bill of health with no players suspended.
In contrast, Levante have been nothing short of impressive in recent weeks, having won three of their last four games.
However, while the Valencia-based side have won three consecutive home games, they are without a win in their last four matches on the road (D1, L4).
Additionally, Levante have a poor track record against Espanyol, having won only one of the last 11 encounters between these sides, with no wins in the last five H2Hs.
The visitors remain without Unai Elgezabal due to a muscular injury, while Ivan Romero also misses out due to suspension.
Kareem Tunde and Roger Brugue have doubts surrounding their availability for this game, with both players in line for a final check ahead of the game.

Whispers Predicts: Espanyol 2-1 Levante
Despite their recent shortcomings, Espanyol are considered favourites by the bookies at 2.13.
Given that Levante have lost four of their last five away games, coupled with their struggles against Espanyol in recent years, we are confident that the hosts will earn their first win of 2026 on Monday night.
This will likely be a feisty affair, as five or more cards were awarded in six of Espanyol's last six matches and in each of Levante's last seven fixtures.
Furthermore, Levante lost their last two trips to this stadium while scoring at least one goal, so Espanyol & BTTS - Yes at 4.20 should be worth a punt.
> BTTS - Yes at 1.77 | Likelihood: Probable
> Over 2.5 goals at 1.95 | Likelihood: Probable
> Match result - Espanyol at 2.13 | Likelihood: Probable
> Espanyol & BTTS - Yes at 4.20 | Likelihood: Possible
> Correct score: 2-1 at 8.90 | Likelihood: Outsider
