Sevilla’s impressive nine-match unbeaten run in this fixture, which included as many as eight victories, was brought to an end in January this year when they were convincingly beaten 3-0 by Levante in Andalusia.
Levante team overview
Levante UD head into this crucial Thursday night encounter as one of the division’s standout “great escape” specialists, currently sitting in 19th place with 29 points but carrying renewed momentum from a side that has rediscovered its competitive soul at a decisive stage of the 2025-26 campaign.
Since the turn of the year, the Granotas have turned Estadi Ciutat de Valencia into a difficult venue for visiting teams, particularly in recent weeks, collecting 10 points from their last four home outings (4W 1D), including a narrow 1-0 victory over Getafe in their most recent appearance.
Despite that shutout success, the Valencia-based outfit have struggled for defensive consistency throughout the campaign, conceding 50 goals across 31 league fixtures, the second-worst record in the division, a vulnerability that the physical frontline of Sevilla will be eager to exploit.
In terms of team news, forward Roger Brugue remains sidelined with a long-term knee injury and is the only confirmed absentee for the hosts, while experienced defender Unai Elgezabal continues his recovery from a setback sustained in mid-February.

Sevilla team overview
In contrast, Sevilla make the trip to Valencia in the midst of a deeply concerning campaign, with the side languishing in 16th place on just 34 points and finding themselves unexpectedly dragged into a relegation dogfight that few would have anticipated at the start of the season.
However, Sevilla arrive boosted by a morale lifting 2-1 victory over Atletico Madrid on matchday 31, a result that halted a troubling three-game losing streak and opened up a valuable five-point cushion above the bottom three heading into the decisive final stretch of the campaign.
Defensive frailties have been a major issue throughout the season, with Sevilla conceding 51 goals, the worst record in the division so far, while their struggles on the road remain equally alarming, having collected maximum points in just one of their last eight La Liga away matches, losing half of those outings in the process.
On the team news front, while there are no widespread selection concerns, Sevilla will be without key defensive figures César Azpilicueta and Marcao, who both remain sidelined through injury, further weakening an already vulnerable back line as they continue their fight for survival.

Prediction
Levante find themselves in a 'do-or-die' scenario where tactical caution must be sacrificed for offensive output; the Granotes have found the net eight times in their last four home outings, and with the sensational youngster Espi in clinical form, they possess a persistent threat against a Sevilla backline that has remained alarmingly porous throughout the campaign.
The Andalusians have kept just one clean sheet in their last ten away fixtures, but their own attacking resurgence—headlined by the creative energy of Akor Adams and Ruben Vargas—suggests they are more than capable of exploiting a Levante defence that ranks as the second-worst in La Liga.
Given that both teams have conceded over 50 goals this term and enter this fixture with a desperate need for maximum points, we anticipate an open, end-to-end encounter. Rather than a cagey stalemate, the desperation of the relegation battle is likely to force defensive errors on both sides, making the BTTS – Yes market the standout selection for this Thursday night showdown.
Three Reasons we expect BTTS - Yes
- Levante have looked threatening in front of goal at home recently, scoring eight times across their last four home matches.
- Sevilla have managed to keep their opponents at bay in just one of their last 11 away fixtures.
- BTTS has landed in six of the last seven head to head meetings between these rivals played on Valencia soil.
