Levante vs Oviedo Prediction - La Liga

The match between Levante and Oviedo is a direct clash between two clubs languishing in the relegation zone. Given the current circumstances, this is not just a game for three points, but also an opportunity for one of the two teams to break away from the bottom of the table and rekindle their slim hopes of staying in the league.

The league standings and match context

The match will take place at 00:30 on March 22, 2026, at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia. Currently, both the home and away teams are in extremely precarious positions in the La Liga standings.

The gap between the two teams is only 2 points. A win would help Levante consolidate their position and increase the lead, while Oviedo must win if they don't want to continue sinking to the bottom of the table.

In-depth performance analysis and statistics

Levante: Home advantage at Ciudad de Valencia

The home team has gone through 28 rounds with unfavorable results: 5 wins, 8 draws, and 15 losses. Levante's scoring efficiency averages 1.1 goals per game, but their defense is a major problem, having conceded 46 goals (an average of 1.6 goals per game). In their last 5 matches, they have achieved 1 win, 2 draws, and suffered 2 defeats.

Oviedo: Attacking crisis away from home

On the other side of the pitch, Oviedo is even worse with only 4 wins in 28 matches. Notably, they have only managed one win away from home. Oviedo's attack is the biggest disappointment in the league, having scored only 18 goals (an average of 0.6 goals per game), a figure far too low to maintain competitiveness.

History of confrontations and forces

Historically, in their last five encounters, Levante holds a slight advantage with two wins, two draws, and only one loss. In the first leg, which took place in October 2025, Levante secured a convincing 2-0 victory away at Oviedo.

Absent list

Both teams are facing a serious personnel crisis:

• Levante:C. Alvarez, R. Brugue (knee injury), and U. Elgezabal (knee injury) are absent. M. Moreno is also unavailable due to accumulating too many yellow cards.
• Oviedo:The list of injured players is long, including L. Ahijado, T. Borbas, L. Dendoncker, O. Ejaria, and especially L. Ilic with an Achilles tendon injury.

Predicting tactics and making assessments.

Given the nature of a "relegation battle," both teams are likely to approach the game cautiously. While Oviedo is predicted to have a favorable outcome (a win or draw is highly probable according to expert analysis), their weak attack will struggle to score many goals. Meanwhile, Levante will try to capitalize on their home advantage to control the game.

The match is likely to be closely contested with few goals (under 2.5). A draw or a minimal victory for the away team is being carefully considered by experts based on their current form.
