*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Levante's struggles continued with a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Osasuna last time out. While Alvaro del Moral’s troops have managed to get by against lower-tiered opponents in the Copa del Rey, they have had an abysmal run of results in the Spanish top flight, losing five in a row.
On the other hand, Villarreal have struggled in the UEFA Champions League but have been a force to be reckoned with in La Liga, winning six in a row. The Yellow Submarine are third in the Spanish top flight ahead of this clash against their local rivals, who are at the bottom of the table.
Considering the contrasting results between these sides, it is no surprise that Villarreal are the expected winners at 4/6 (1.67). Teams with these odds generally have a 60% probability of winning.

Also, keeping in mind that Levante's last four matches went below the 2.5-goal threshold, under 2.5 total goals has an appealing look at 13/10 (2.30). That one has a 43.5% chance of landing.
Most recent H2Hs: First clash in three years
These teams will clash for the first time since the 2021/22 campaign, as Levante were absent from the Spanish top flight in the previous four seasons.
Interestingly, Villarreal won four of the last five La Liga encounters between these Valencian sides.
