This Levante-Espanyol match feels like a classic relegation dogfight, and frankly, neither side has shown the consistency to truly earn three points. Espanyol, despite sitting four points above Levante, have only managed two wins in their last ten league games, including a dismal 2-1 loss to bottom-dwelling Elche on April 23rd. Levante, on the other hand, have at least shown some fight, picking up draws against tough opponents like Real Betis and Getafe in recent weeks, even if wins remain elusive.
The key matchup will be Espanyol’s defensive unit trying to contain the surprising aerial threat of Levante’s Roger MartĂ, who has netted nine times this season.
Here’s the thing: Espanyol’s away form has been atrocious, with only two victories on the road all season. Levante, despite their struggles, have at least made the Ciutat de València a tougher place to visit. I’m leaning towards Levante pulling off a narrow victory.
Levante 2, Espanyol 1.
