Levante prepares for a crucial clash against Villarreal in La Liga's 34th round, set for May 2, 2026. The club from the Valencia suburbs, which returned to the top flight in 2025, is desperately seeking points to secure its stay, although predictions point to a victory for the home side, Villarreal.

Villarreal, known as the "Yellow Submarine," has had a remarkable season, consolidating a top-5 finish in La Liga last year and qualifying for the Champions League. While their performance in Europe and the Copa del Rey was not as expected, they have significantly improved in the domestic league, even challenging Atlético for third place. Recently, they drew with Oviedo and defeated Celta.

On the other hand, Levante has experienced a challenging return to La Liga after three years in the Segunda División. The team has spent most of the season in the relegation zone. However, the appointment of Luis Castro as head coach has injected new hope, managing to reduce the gap to their competitors during spring, although their last match was a goalless draw with Espanyol.

Regarding offensive and defensive statistics, Villarreal has been one of the season's surprises, averaging 1.79 goals scored and conceding 1.15 per match. Levante, despite improvements under Luis Castro, still faces difficulties, with an average of 1.12 goals scored and 1.52 conceded per game.

The recent head-to-head record clearly favors Villarreal, who have won five of the last seven official meetings, suffering just one defeat. Furthermore, Villarreal has won six of their last nine matches overall, while Levante has lost only one of their last eight, showing a slight improvement in their recent form.

Considering Villarreal's strength and their advantages in head-to-head history and statistics, experts predict a victory for the home team. The forecast is a "home" win with odds of 1.70, despite the fight that Levante will undoubtedly put up in this important La Liga encounter.
