It will be a memorable return to La Liga football at the Estadi Ciutat de València, as Levante’s first home fixture of the season will be against none other but reigning champions Barcelona. The latter will want to extend their winning start and accumulate 6 points after 2 matchdays.
Levante UD Team News
Levante suffered a late 2-1 defeat against Alaves on their La Liga return. Now, they will have an even harder task – to take something from the champions, Barcelona. Julián Calero will surely expect much more from his side purely in offence, as in their opener against Alaves, Levante were generally poor going forward. Their focus on the transfer market has also been on defensive-minded additions, but what Levante might actually need right now is a boost in attack. History isn’t on the team’s side, as none of the last 4 home openers for the Frogs have yielded victories.
Barcelona Team News
As expected, Barcelona has started the season with style and a solid 0-3 win over Mallorca. Next for Hansi Flick’s side is another trip, this time to Levante. Playing against a newly-promoted team could be considered a fortune, as despite winning against Mallorca, the latter were a man down for the better part of 90 minutes. Should Barcelona secure all the points against Levante, it will be the 10th consecutive win on the road for Hansi Flick. That is a record that Barcelona haven’t matched since 2021 and will also add to what could be considered a strong start to the season.
Head-to-Head-Games
Barcelona have won 7 of their last 10 encounters with Levante. Hansi Flick’s team has also scored at least three goals against this opponent in the three most recent Head-to-Head Matches.

Levante UD vs Barcelona Betting Prediction
Given Barcelona’s reputation for its offensive displays and the fact that H2H games with Levante have typically produced a high number of goals for the team, my pick here will be for Barcelona to score over 2.5 goals. Flick’s side is certainly capable, and his brand of football lends itself perfectly to a high goal tally.
