Levante Málaga betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario is that there won’t be many goals. We expect a balanced match, with a lot of struggle in the midfield and few goal opportunities, since both teams should present defensive strategies to get at least one point.

Preview
Levante and Málaga face at Estadio Ciudad de Valencia, in a match for the 17th round of the Primera División. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 5 wins and 1 loss in the last 6 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 07‑02‑2015, in a match for the Primera División, Levante won by (4‑1). The goals of the match were scored by David Barral (26' , 37' and 62' ) and K. Uche (75' ), for Levante, and by Juanmi (24' ), for Málaga. Although this is a match between 20th and 13th of the league table, it’s actually a match between the 18th best in home matches and the 17th best in away matches.

Analysis Levante

The home team is currently in the 20th position of the league, with 11 points won, after 2 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Granada, by (1‑2). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Athletic Club, by (2‑0). This is a team that maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since they have had similar results in both conditions. For the league, Levante won 6 points out of 24 possible points, after 1 win, 3 draws and 4 losses in the last 8 home matches.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 4 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑1 (5 out of 8 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 3 of the last 16 matches for the Primera División, they have reached half‑time in front in 2 of those 3 matches and have held on to the lead in 2. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 12 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 10 home matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 4 of their 8 goals between minutes (46'‑60') and 4 of their 8 goals between (76'‑90').

Levante comes to this match lacking motivation, due to the latest negative results: 3 consecutive losses. The home team is strong in both defensive and offensive set pieces. Coach Rubi should present a defensive strategy and try to explore counterattacks. Deyverson is the best scorer of the team, with 4 goals scored this season. Trujillo and Víctor Casadesús are still recovering from injuries, while Toño and Feddal are suspended.

Confirmed Lineup: Diego Mariño, Pedro López, Nikolaos Karabelas, Simão Mate, David Navarro, Camarasa, Jefferson Lerma, Rubén García, Roger Martí, Nabil Ghilas.
Coach: J. García García, F. Miñambres Fernández.

Analysis Málaga

The away team is currently in the 13th position of the league, with 17 points won, after 4 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Rayo Vallecano, by (1‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Atlético Madrid, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 5 points in away matches and 12 at their stadium, with 8 goals scored and 5 conceded at home, against 2 goals scored and 9 conceded in away matches. In the last 8 away league matches Málaga has a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 5 points out of 24 possible. In their away matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 1‑0 (3 out of 8 matches) and 0‑0 (3 out of 8 matches) and after the 90' 1‑0 (3 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 6 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 4 of the last 16 matches for the Primera División, they have reached half‑time in front in 2 of those 4 matches and have held on to the lead in 3. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Málaga comes to this match motivated by a home win over Atlético de Madrid: Charles scored the winning goal. Despite this win, the away team has a few issues to improve, like the ability to keep ball possession. The best scorer of the team is striker Charles, with 6 goals scored. In this match coach Javi Gracia will have all players available.

Confirmed Lineup: Carlos Kameni, Roberto Rosales, Juankar, Albentosa, Weligton, Recio, Ignacio Camacho, Pablo Fornals, Nordin Amrabat, Duje Čop, Charles.
Coach: J. Mel Pérez.
