Elche vs Levante prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-08-28 17:30.
[p]Two of the sides promoted to La Liga for this season, Elche and Levante, meet in what could prove to be a vital early-season clash in their respective survival bids. Â [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Elche have made a more than respectable start to the campaign, escaping from tough fixtures against Real Betis and Atlético Madrid with a pair of 1-1 draws. It’s the first time since 2018/19 that they’ve avoided defeat in their opening two league games, and the first time in 49 years they’ve done so in the top-flight! That sets a superb platform ahead of a series of fixtures that look more favourable on paper, which should be particularly encouraging considering they’ve avoided defeat in their last five La Liga home games (W2, D3).[/p]
[p]Levante finished two points clear of Elche in the second tier last season, yet trail them by the same deficit this time after kicking off the season with successive defeats. Heartbreak has been the order of the day upon their top-flight return, with both losses coming courtesy of decisive goals in second-half stoppage time. Levante can certainly take heart from a brave performance which saw them take a two-goal lead over reigning league champions Barcelona before losing 3-2, but they’ll be eager to avoid a campaign of nearly moments with their last six defeats in league action all coming by a one-goal margin.  [/p]
