Valencia vs Levante prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-11-20 20:00.
[p]November may be too early to call any La Liga clash a relegation ‘six-pointer’, but a game between city rivals Valencia and Levante, who both reside in the bottom four, certainly has that feel to it.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]The international break was perhaps timely for under-fire Valencia boss Carlos Corberán, who has had some extra time to ponder how to snap his side’s seven-game winless streak in La Liga (D3, L4). It’s a run which means only goal difference keeps them outside of the relegation zone, but a home game affords them as good a chance as any to put some daylight between themselves and the bottom three. Valencia have picked up eight of their ten top-flight points this campaign at home (W2, D2, L2), although that is caveated by the fact their current three-match winless league run there (D1, L2) is their longest such streak under Corberán.[/p]
[p]A solid run of form throughout September and October in La Liga (W2, D3, L2) had Levante feeling like they belonged at the top-flight level, but back-to-back defeats before the international break served as a harsh reminder of the challenges La Liga poses. Those defeats saw them slip down to 19th place in the table, but this looks a favourable fixture to bounce back in, as eight of their nine points this season came on the road. They’ve already beaten the other two teams joining them and Valencia in the bottom four at present, and with those wins coming to nil, the first goal here could be crucial in deciding Levante’s fate.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Valencia have enjoyed this derby encounter in recent times, losing just one of the last ten H2Hs (W5, D4), while they’ve never lost a historical H2H they’ve hosted (W12, D7).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Valencia’s last five games saw the same half-time result replicated at full-time.[/p]
[p]Eight of Valencia’s last 11 home games produced under 2.5 goals.[/p]
[p]Levante have lost all six of their league games this season when conceding the opening goal.[/p]
[p]Four of Levante’s last five away games saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Luis Rioja could be the man to kickstart Valencia’s recovery here, since four of his last six La Liga goals served as the match opener. Levante’s Kervin Arriaga may be looking to make a later impact, having scored each of his last eight club goals after half-time.[/p]
[p]Valencia will likely be without Mouctar Diakhaby and Dimitri Foulquier for the rest of the month. Levante’s Pablo Martínez will be absent, but Unai Vencedor does at least return from suspension.[/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
