Levante (home)
- Levante welcome Sevilla FC to Valencia’s Estadio Ciudad de Valencia on Thursday in a bottom half battle with some added significance as both sides face an urgent need for points to secure survival.
- The hosts sit 19th in the LaLiga standings, having taken 29 points from 31 games, while Sevilla FC are 16th with 34 points from the same number of games.
- Luis Castro has brought a fresh, youthful and flexible approach to the club since taking charge in December 2025.
- Castro’s 4-4-2/4-2-3-1 system is highly versatile and he allows his full-backs to play like wingers when the ball is in the offensive half, while his central midfielders are more than capable of getting forward and covering those wide areas in transition.
Sevilla (away)
- Sevilla’s recent results are mixed, with 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats from the last 5, and they average 1.20 goals per away game in the 2025/2026 season while conceding 1.87 goals.
- Luis Garcia’s Sevilla FC have played a much more compact 4-2-3-1/4-4-2 formation since his appointment as manager in March 2026.
Head-to-Head
Levante are unbeaten in their last 3 at home (Won 2, Drawn 1) and beat Sevilla FC 3-0 in the reverse LaLiga fixture 3 months ago, so there is hope that they can gain the upper hand in this game.
Key Players
- Carlos Espi is Levante’s top scorer in LaLiga with 8 goals in 18 LaLiga appearances, but he has scored 5 of Levante’s last 7 and will be a handful for the Sevilla FC defenders.
- Akor Adams is Sevilla FC’s most prolific striker with 8 LaLiga goals in 26 matches this season, and he has 2 of the last 5 goals for the visitors.

Prediction
- The value lies with Levante for this contest due to their better home form, the head-to-head advantage and the fact that Garcia’s team have shown a tendency to struggle on their travels.
- We think Levante’s more positive approach to the game, along with their young legs and pace, should see them get the better of Sevilla FC.
