Levante
- Levante are 19th in LaLiga with 33 points from 34 games and need to win to stay in the race for survival.
- Relegation-threatened Levante host Osasuna in Valencia this Friday in a crucial match in the fight to stay up.
- Levante have been the poorer of the two clubs in 2025-2026, earning 7 points from 15 available.
- Levante have won 5 of their 17 home games in LaLiga, drawing 5 and losing 7.
- They have only won 2 of their last 5 games but have won both of their most recent home games to nil.
- Luis Castro was appointed in December 2025 and immediately implemented a pragmatic, survival-first approach which has seen Levante become a compact, tough-to-beat unit.
Osasuna
- Osasuna are in 10th place with 42 points from 34 LaLiga matches.
- Osasuna will look to play with intensity and will press as a team, looking to get wide players on the ball and win second balls.
- Osasuna, under Alessio Lisci since July 2025, have played a disciplined 4-4-2 or 4-1-4-1 formation, pressing as a unit and looking to disrupt opponents with intensity.
- Lisci has kept the team tight at the back and the pressing has been good, but they have lost 2 and drawn 2 of their last 5 LaLiga games and this fixture will be a test of their ability to maintain consistency.
- Osasuna have failed to win their 2 most recent away games, drawing once and losing once.
Key Players
- Carlos Espi has the highest goals per game ratio for Levante in the league this season, scoring 9 in 21 appearances, and has been their most reliable finisher in the 2025-2026 campaign.
- Ante Budimir is the clear threat, scoring 16 in 33 in the top-flight and netting 2 in his last 5 appearances.
Betting Insights
- Levante will be the slight favorites for this game at 2.71 which seems fair based on the stats.
- Over 2.5 goals is 2.05, which is not bad odds in a game where goals are likely.
- Both Teams to Score - No at 2.04 is the main bet from the preview.
Prediction
We’re going to go with Both Teams to Score - No at 2.04 as the main bet, however, as we feel Levante’s compactness and defensive discipline will be enough to keep Osasuna out on the scoresheet at some point.
