La Liga
Their most recent LaLiga meeting ended in a 3-1 victory for Málaga, although both teams have changed considerably since the last time they faced each other in the Spanish topflight. Home advantage could therefore be particularly significant, with La Rosaleda expected to provide a strong atmosphere for a Málaga side attempting to establish themselves again at LaLiga level.
Malaga team overview
Málaga's immediate priority is to recover from their heavy defeat at the Santiago Bernabéu. Real Madrid scored four times in a dominant performance, with Málaga struggling to cope with the attacking quality of Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappé and their hosts' overall intensity. However, the visit of Levante represents a significantly more manageable assignment for the newly promoted side.
In terms of team news, Málaga have several injury concerns. Moussa Diarra, Aarón Ochoa, Adrián Niño, Fernando Calero, Diego Murillo and Dani Lorenzo have all been listed as unavailable. Murillo's knee problems have been a particularly significant concern, while the number of absences could limit Málaga's options.

Levante team overview
Levante arrive in Málaga looking for greater consistency after an uneven opening to their LaLiga campaign. Their recent 5-2 win over Real Betis demonstrated a significant improvement in attack and finishing - something they had struggled with considerably in the first two LaLiga matches.
The visitors should nevertheless take confidence from facing a Málaga side that has struggled defensively. Levante have the opportunity to control possession and test a home defence that has conceded seven goals across its opening three league fixtures.
Levante's injury situation currently appears considerably healthier than Málaga's. Álex Primo is listed as unavailable, but the visitors otherwise have relatively few reported absences heading into Matchday 4.

Prediction
Neither team has made a convincing start, which could produce a cautious and closely contested encounter. Málaga have home advantage, but their goalscoring and defensive instability remain concerning, while Levante have also struggled to create enough clear goalscoring opportunities apart from a five-goal galore against Real Betis, which is unlikely to be repeated this weekend.
Prediction: Both Teams to Score (NO).
Three reasons we expect BTTS (NO)
- Two of the last four head-to-head meetings between these sides in LaLiga 2 ended with BTTS-NO.
- Apart from Levante's 5-2 win over Real Betis, both teams have struggled to establish themselves offensively.
- BTTS-NO has landed in four of the first six LaLiga matches involving Málaga and Levante.
