Sevilla vs Levante prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2026-01-03 13:00.
[p]The season of mid-table Sevilla stands at a crossroads, but opportunity knocks when they host bottom-of-the-table Levante in their first outing of 2026.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]The winter break came at a decent time for a Sevilla side struggling for consistency, as they languish in mid-table with just one win from their last five league outings (D1, L3). Defeats in their last two competitive outings to nil against Real Madrid (2-0) in La Liga and AlavĂ©s (1-0) in the Copa del Rey left a sour taste over Christmas, with MatĂas Almeyda’s men closer in terms of points to the drop zone than the top-six pre-round. Sevilla are striving for improvements at home where they’ve alternated between losses and wins in their last six league outings, but the omens aren’t good considering they won their last fixture here.[/p]
[p]After starting the season at Nantes, LuĂs Castro has now been tasked with saving Levante from relegation after the Frogs spent Christmas at the foot of the La Liga table. They’re winless in eight league games (D2, L6) despite a spirited performance to draw 1-1 with Real Sociedad last time out, but a Copa del Rey defeat to second-tier opposition just a few days prior means the mood remains low. It’s not all doom and gloom with Levante two points better off than the same stage of their last top-flight seasons, while eight of their ten points have been earned on the road![/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Sevilla are unbeaten in the last nine H2Hs (W8, D1) and last tasted defeat at home to Levante back in January 2014 (W6, D2). The pair’s two most recent meetings produced a whopping 13 total goals.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]

Levante’s Adrián Dela has made his presence felt with a goal and two yellow cards across his last two appearances – his last three strikes have come beyond the 80th minute and been decisive to the result.[/p]
[p]Sevilla defender Marcão is suspended after being sent off against Madrid, while Levante’s Manu Sánchez also serves a ban here.[/p]
