Valencia have been struggling this season. After 12 league rounds, they have recorded only 2 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses, sitting 17th in La Liga, level on points with the relegation zone. In their most recent match, Valencia drew 1–1 at home against Real Betis. The team has gone seven league matches without a win, collecting only 3 draws and 4 losses, showing severely declining form.
At home, their performance has also dropped significantly. Valencia have failed to win in their last three home league matches, managing only 1 draw and 2 losses. Their home advantage has virtually disappeared. Offensively, the team has been highly inefficient—scoring just 5 goals across the past seven league games, averaging only 0.71 goals per match, and failing to score in three of those fixtures. Defensively, the situation is equally troubling, with 13 goals conceded in the same period, an average of 1.86 per match, and only one clean sheet.
Valencia will also be hindered by injuries. Defender Thierry Correia is sidelined with an ankle injury until early December, having started all seven league matches he has played this season. Another key defender, Mouctar Diakhaby, is also out with a hamstring injury until early December, having made six starts. Additionally, rotation midfielder Ugrinic and rotation forward Lamine Ramazani are also dealing with injuries.
Levante, the newly promoted team, are not faring any better. They currently sit second from the bottom with 2 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses, deeply entrenched in the relegation zone. In their latest league match, Levante lost 1–3 away to Atlético Madrid. Over their last four league games, they have only managed 1 draw and 3 losses, continuing their poor run of form.
On the road, Levante’s competitiveness is limited. In seven away matches this season, they have collected 2 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses, with a modest win rate of 28.6%. Moreover, their only away victories came against fellow relegation-zone contenders Real Oviedo and Girona, suggesting low overall strength. Against stronger mid-table or upper-table sides, Levante have struggled significantly.
In terms of attack and defense, Levante have also shown weaknesses. They have scored just 6 goals in their past six league matches (averaging 1 goal per game) and were held scoreless in one. Their defensive form is more worrying, conceding in each of their last four matches, with an average of 2.25 goals allowed per game.
Overall Analysis
Valencia, though winless in their past two matches, will be eager to secure a victory at home to regain momentum. Despite failing to win their last three home league games, the match data still shows support for Valencia with a favorable handicap. Considering their superior head-to-head record, Valencia are expected to take all three points in this fixture.
Recommendation: Home Win
Score Prediction: Valencia 2–1 Levante
