Barcelona welcome Levante to Camp Nou this Sunday 22nd February, with kick-off set for 15:15. The hosts are chasing down the top spot in La Liga, while Levante arrive in desperate need of points as they hover near the foot of the table. Recent meetings and current form point strongly in Barcelona’s favour, but can Levante spring a surprise?
Best Bets & Predictions
Based on Barcelona’s dominant home record, attacking firepower, and Levante’s defensive frailties, here are our top betting recommendations for this match. We’re particularly confident in a comfortable Barcelona win, given their ability to convert chances and Levante’s struggles on the road.
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barcelona -2 (Handicap Win) | 8/11 @ Bet365 (57.9%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Barcelona average 2.67 goals per game and have won eight of their last eleven against Levante. Levante concede 1.74 per game and have the joint-worst defensive record among the bottom three. With Barcelona outshooting opponents and creating over three big chances per match, a comfortable margin is likely. |
| Both Teams to Score – No | 20/21 @ Bet365 (51.2%) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Barcelona have kept nine clean sheets in 24 games and allow just 1.04 goals per match, while Levante have blanked in three of their last five away trips. The gulf in quality suggests Levante may struggle to find the net against this well-drilled defence. |

Potential Match-Winners
- Ferran Torres (Barcelona) – 12 league goals, 45.2% shot accuracy. Averaging a goal every two games and consistently outperforming his expected goals tally. His movement and finishing in the box make him a constant threat.
- Raphinha (Barcelona) – A creative spark who adds assists (47 for the team this season) and is key to unlocking defences. His delivery and dribbling will test Levante’s full-backs.
- Karl Etta Eyong (Levante) – The Cameroonian leads the way for goals for Levante this season with 5, so will be relied upon to provide a creative spark for the underdogs.
- Mathew Ryan (Levante) – With Levante conceding nearly two goals per game, Ryan’s shot-stopping will be vital if they are to avoid a heavy defeat.

For those seeking value, the 8/11 handicap (-2) with Bet365 stands out as our top pick.
