- Levante cover the +1.5 handicap in 17 of their last 18 matches (Friendlies, clubs).
⭐️ Editor's Pick
Levante have scored in nine straight matches. You could put that down to pre-season, but they also put three past Celta and three past Osasuna in competitive games. Villarreal's defence isn't solid enough to shut them out. That said, the hosts' attack looks more convincing - they've scored in 11 of their last 13 matches. The pick here is total goals over 2.5.
