class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Espanyol vs Levante kicks off at 6.00pm (UK time) on Sunday at the RCDE Stadium, with the hosts favoured to make home advantage tell in a fixture that has produced plenty of draws.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Espanyol finished comfortably above Levante last season and start as favourites, though this fixture rarely delivers a clear-cut result. Andy Francis has the best bets, our score prediction and the head-to-head record below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group sq-ptips2-wrap\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 id=\"h-premium-tips\" class=\"wp-block-heading sq-ptips2__bar\">Premium Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sq-ptips2__intro wp-block-paragraph\">Andy fancies a low-scoring home win, with Espanyol the stronger side and Levante often frustrating on their travels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table sq-ptips2 is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Premium Tip<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Odds<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Why we\u2019re backing it<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Espanyol to win<\/strong> <strong>and under 2.5 goals<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3\/1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">This leans on Espanyol&#8217;s low-scoring style. They managed just 43 goals last season and kept 10 clean sheets, so their games often stay tight, averaging 2.58 goals. At home to a Levante side with a similar record last season, a narrow win is a fair call. The shape that fits is a 1-0 or 2-0 Espanyol win. The catch is Levante&#8217;s leaky defence, 61 conceded last season, which drags their games over 2.5 and can turn a tight match into an open one. So the win is playable, but under 2.5 is closer to a coin flip than a lock.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Pol Lozano to be shown a card, Pere Milla over 0.5 shots on target and Omar El Hilali over 1.5 fouls<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">5\/1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">All three players suit their markets, but the lines are demanding. Pol Lozano is card-prone, a combative midfielder who collected 10 yellows and a red last season, though a booking in any single game still lands only around 38% of the time. Pere Milla is the pick of the three: a forward with 21 shots on target last season, so over 0.5 is roughly 60% when he starts. Omar El Hilali fouls plenty, 44 last season, but over 1.5 needs two in the match.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button sq-ptips2-cta\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-soa-bst-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\">Back these tips with bet365 \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sq-ptips2__foot wp-block-paragraph\">18+ only.

They will fancy their chances of a positive start against a side they finished five places above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Javi Puado is their main source of goals and will lead the line here. Consistency at home is the platform Espanyol will look to build on, and they have the quality to take care of a struggling opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-levante-go-into-the-game\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Levante go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Levante survived last season but did it the hard way, finishing 16th on 42 points with a defence that leaked 61 goals. Tightening up is the obvious priority, particularly on the road where results were hard to come by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kike Garcia offers a focal point in attack, and Levante will hope to draw on the recent history of this fixture, which has produced several draws. Frustrating Espanyol and staying in the game will be the aim.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"581\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12150519\/ll4_card.jpg\" alt=\"Espanyol vs Levante: 2025-26 by the numbers\" class=\"wp-image-1479156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12150519\/ll4_card.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12150519\/ll4_card-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12150519\/ll4_card-1024x551.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12150519\/ll4_card-768x413.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12150519\/ll4_card-400x215.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12150519\/ll4_card-372x200.jpg 372w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12150519\/ll4_card-112x60.jpg 112w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12150519\/ll4_card-150x81.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12150519\/ll4_card-138x74.jpg 138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-espanyol-vs-levante-head-to-head\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Espanyol vs Levante head-to-head<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Date<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Home<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Score<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Away<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">27\/04\/26<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Espanyol<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0-0<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Levante<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">11\/01\/26<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Levante<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1-1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Espanyol<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">12\/03\/22<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Levante<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1-1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Espanyol<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">11\/12\/21<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Espanyol<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">4-3<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Levante<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">20\/06\/20<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Espanyol<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1-3<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Levante<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has been a stalemate-heavy fixture, with six draws in the last 10 meetings and both encounters last season finishing level, 0-0 and 1-1.
