Espanyol will be looking to keep the hopes of a return to top flight football alive when they make the trip to Estadi Ciutat de València this week to face Levante.
The granota team, Levante, came very close to promotion last season when they finished third before losing their promotion play-off game. Javier Calleja's side have done well so far this season, going without defeat in all four matches and will be looking to extend this run on Friday.
Espanyol meanwhile had to bow out of LaLiga at the end of last season after two consecutive years. A big motivation for the white and blue is that they have never played longer than one season in the second division. Considering that they also still without defeat five games into the new season, Friday's game will be an interesting one.
Levante vs Espanyol Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Levante's defensive record last season was very good especially at home, where they conceded second-fewest goals of any team in the division at home. Javier Calleja's side have yet to demonstrate that defensive stability this season, but three of their four games so far have ended with less than 2.5 goals.
Espanyol finished last season with some really entertaining matches, as at least three goals were scored in each of their final six La Liga games. We are experiencing something different at the moment, as only one of the four matches they have played so far ended with over 2.5 goals.
In addition, meetings between Levante and Espanyol at this venue are known for their lack of goals. In four of the last five encounters, two or fewer goals were scored.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Levante vs Espanyol prediction: 1-1

For Espanyol, Brian Oliván will be missing on Friday after sustaining an injury after just 27 minutes in last weekend's 3-2 win over Amorebieta.
