Levante vs Barcelona Betting Tips

They were unconvincing last weekend but grabbed all 3 points against 2nd place Atletico Madrid and in reality that was all that mattered. They now hold a 3 point lead on their rivals with a game in hand at the top of the division and are very well placed for a domestic double after thumping Valencia 7-0 in midweek in the 1st leg of their Copa del Rey Semi-Final.

4 goals from Luis Suarez and a hat-trick from Leo Messi secured the rout and they will head to Valencia where they face 2 games in 4 days full of confidence. Barca have won all of their last 9 games and are unbeaten in 27 in all competitions so it’s hard to see them slipping up against the division’s bottom club.

Levante have won their last two home games against relegation rivals Las Palmas and Rayo Vallecano to give them hope of beating the drop. However they’ve lost 7 of their last 9 overall and have been very poor defensively at times and Barca could run riot if they are on song here.

Levante have kept just 1 home clean sheet all season and have let in 9 goals in their last 3 matches so backing Barcelona with a -2.0 Asian Handicap at 1.925 seems the smart bet here.

With their Copa del Rey Semi-Final all but won, Barcelona will now prioritise this game over their trip to the Mestalla on Wednesday and that’s bad news for Levante as it all but guarantees that the deadly trio of Messi, Suarez and Neymar will all start. They scored 7 in midweek and could get close to that here.

Levante do have a goal in them though and have scored 9 goals in their last 4 matches so don’t rule out a home goal. If you fancy a speculative bet with big potential returns consider backing Barcelona to win 6-1 at huge odds of 40/1.
