Latest news
Espanyol Barcelona
🎤 Espanyol's head coach Manolo Gonzalez expressed his disappointment with his players' performance: “It's been a while since we last won, and our current form reflects that. The result was unfair to us, and Rayo Vallecano's goal really hit us hard. We played well in the first half-hour, but we lacked precision in the final third. In the second half, we stepped up our game and had chances to take the lead, but if you don't capitalize on those opportunities, this is what happens. We missed a penalty and a very clear chance for Pere Milla, and those are the setbacks that hurt.”
❌ Espanyol's Javier Puado remains sidelined as he continues to recover from a knee injury.
Levante UD
📰 The recent clash with Sevilla marked a milestone for Dela. The Spanish defender has now played 100 matches in the "Frogs" jersey. During the post-match press conference, the 27-year-old spoke to journalists: "We knew the importance of the match; it was against a direct rival. In the first half, we played very uniquely and took full advantage of our strengths, while in the second half, there were ten or fifteen minutes when we had to roll up our sleeves and show that the team is very capable of playing competitive football. You don't play a hundred matches every day; it's a significant number, it's wonderful, especially at such a remarkable and historic club like Levante."
❌ Among Levante's unavailable players are Roger Brugui (knee injury), Unai Elhésabal (knee injury), Karim Tunde (leg injury), and Ivan Romero (suspension).
⚽ Goal Prediction
Let's focus on the significant defensive issues both teams are facing. A quick look at the average goals conceded by each side in the current La Liga season paints a clear picture: Espanyol have let in 1.5 goals per game, while Levante have conceded 1.6. Notably, in their last six head-to-head encounters, both teams found the back of the net. This trend is also evident in 8 out of Espanyol's last 10 matches. Our editorial choice is both teams to score (yes).
🚩 Corner Prediction
Levante allow a substantial number of corners against them, averaging around 6.2 per game. In comparison, Espanyol concede 4.6 corners per match. It's also crucial to consider the corners won by each side in the current La Liga season: Espanyol lead with 4.7 to Levante's 3.9. We suggest a bet on Espanyol to win the corner count with a -1.5 handicap.
Editorial Prediction
At this stage of the season, Espanyol are grappling not only with significant organizational issues but also with mental challenges. Manolo Gonzalez's squad have lost confidence in their abilities, transforming from a team competing for European spots to one fighting to stay in the top tier of Spanish football. Meanwhile, Levante are in excellent form, showcasing cohesive performances in recent matches. We predict a final score of 1-2. The key bet is Levante to avoid defeat.
