Espanyol vs Levante Prediction - La Liga: A chance for the away team to escape relegation.
With Espanyol in freefall due to a string of poor results, Levante has a great opportunity to earn points and keep their hopes of avoiding relegation in La Liga alive this season.
The clash between Espanyol and Levante in La Liga's 33rd round at 02:00 on April 28, 2026, is essentially a "relegation battle." While the home team is showing signs of fatigue, the visiting team Levante is demonstrating a strong resurgence in the race to remain in Spain's top league.
Context and ranking position
Currently, Espanyol is ranked 14th in the league table with 38 points after 32 matches played. Although relatively safe from the relegation zone, the Catalan team's recent form is causing concern among fans. Conversely, Levante is ranked 19th with 32 points, not too far from safety and is striving to accumulate points.
| Team | Location | Point | form |
|---|---|---|---|
| Espanyol | 14 | 38 | Wins 0, Draws 1, Losses 4 |
| Levante | 19 | 32 | 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss |
Analyzing the performance of both teams
Espanyol: A crisis of confidence
Espanyol, playing at the RCDE Stadium, is going through its worst period of the season. In their last five matches, Espanyol have failed to win, including four defeats. Their attack is underperforming, averaging 1.2 goals per game, while their defense is conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game. The absence of their key striker, J. Puado, due to a knee injury is expected to further hinder their goal-scoring efforts.
Levante: The spirit of overcoming adversity.
In stark contrast to their opponents, Levante is displaying a very positive performance. With 3 wins in their last 5 matches, the visitors are in excellent form. Although their goal difference is similar to Espanyol's (37 goals scored, 50 goals conceded), Levante's ability to capitalize on opportunities in recent important matches is a noteworthy highlight.
History of confrontations and forces
Based on statistics from the last 5 encounters, Espanyol still holds the advantage, remaining unbeaten against Levante with 3 wins and 2 draws. However, in the first leg of this season in January 2026, the two teams shared the points with a 1-1 draw.
In terms of personnel, both teams have suffered significant losses. Espanyol will be without J. Puado, while Levante's list of absentees is longer, with R. Brugue, U. Elgezabal, and K. Tunde sidelined due to injury, along with I. Romero suspended after accumulating too many yellow cards.
Tactical analysis and predictions
Despite playing away from home, Levante, with their current good form, are considered highly likely to earn points. Espanyol have the home advantage but are currently lacking direction in their gameplay. Experts predict that a draw or a narrow victory for the away team is the most likely outcome.
- Predicted result:Levante win or draw
- Predicted odds:45% chance of Levante winning, 45% chance of a draw, 10% chance of Espanyol winning.
