Villarreal vs Levante: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from "La Cerámica" entered the top 5 last season. This result sent them to the Champions League, where the Spanish side underperformed, as they did in the cup. However, they managed to improve in La Liga, challenging Atlético for third place and by mid-spring even pulled ahead of them. They were surprisingly held to a draw by Oviedo, but managed to beat Celta.
The team from the Valencia suburb returned to La Liga in 2025 after three years in the Segunda. However, it quickly became clear that their stay in the top flight would be short-lived, spending the entire season in the relegation zone. Hope emerged after Luis Castro was appointed head coach—during spring, they significantly reduced the gap to their competitors. Still, they could only manage a goalless draw with Espanyol.
One of La Liga’s main surprises this season is averaging 1.79 goals scored per match, conceding 1.15 in return. The newcomer, even after improving following the coaching change, still struggles—a rate of 1.12 goals scored but 1.52 conceded per game.
