Villarreal vs Levante Predictions

Back goals as Villarreal chase victory

Over 2.5 goals looks the best bet when Villarreal host Levante at Estadio de la Ceramica on Saturday. The hosts have scored two goals or more in 20 of their 33 Primera Liga games this season.

Villarreal are third in the league, 16 places and 32 points above Levante. The hosts have won 20, drawn five and lost eight of their 33 games this season, while Levante have eight wins, nine draws and 16 losses.

Villarreal have beaten Levante in six of the last eight Primera Liga meetings between the sides and have won seven of their last eight home games against them. However, Levante are tough opponents and are unbeaten in seven of their last eight matches in the competition. They have only won on one of their last ten road trips, though.

The visitors have struggled to keep out their opponents this season. Only four teams in the Primera Liga have conceded more goals than Levante’s total of 50, and they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 14 of their last 17 games against Villarreal.

Five of the last six times that Villarreal have hosted Levante in the Primera Liga have produced over 2.5 goals and, although the visitors won 1-0 last time, five of the previous six meetings overall had three or more goals.

Villarreal have won their last five home games in the league and will be confident of getting a result here. A 3-0 win for Villarreal is the correct score pick.
