Levante vs Rayo Vallecano prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-10-18 16:30.
[p]Levante host Rayo Vallecano in a bottom-half La Liga clash, with both sides experiencing near identical starts to the season.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]The season so far hasnât quite gone to plan for Levante, particularly at home where they are yet to win a game this season (D1, L2) with no team taking fewer such points ahead of the weekend. They did achieve a morale boosting 2-0 victory over fellow strugglers Real Oviedo in their last outing though, and will now target going three straight La Liga games unbeaten for the first time since February 2022, which was a three-game unbeaten streak completed by a win at home! [/p]
[p]Maybe somewhat more surprisingly, after securing European football for the first time since the turn of the century last season, Rayo Vallecano have also endured a tepid campaign thus far. It should be noted that both of their league wins this season have come away from home, with only four La Liga sides taking more points on their travels so far this season. The latest of those victories came in their last outing when they beat Real Sociedad 1-0, which ended a six-game winless streak (D2, L4) in the league.[/p]
