Levante Espanyol betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This match has a huge tendency to be balanced, since it puts in the field two teams that remain in similar positions in the league table of the Spanish Championship. When playing at home, Levante usually presents a very offensive strategy, and even in advantage can opt for this game model. On the other hand, both teams have failures in the defensive sector, making betting in favor of goals in this game a good option.

Preview
Levante and Espanyol face at Estadio Ciudad de Valencia, in a 2nd leg match for the Copa del Rey (8th Finals), after the (1‑2) away win by Levante in the 1st leg match. The head‑to‑head history at this stadium, favours the home team, since in the last 4 head‑to‑heads they won 2 and tied 2. Accordingly, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Primera División, on 15‑04‑2016, Levante won by (2‑1). G. Rossi (23' ) and C. Medjani (66' ) scored for Levante and H. Pérez (7' ) for Espanyol. Levante registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Levante

The home team comes to this 2nd leg match with an advantage of 1 goal, after the (1‑2) away win in the 1st leg. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the Primera División, they got an away loss against Barcelona by (3‑0). In the last 10 home matches Levante has won 1, tied 5 and lost 4. 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 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 2 of those 3 matches and have held on to the lead in 2. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 12 home matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (61'‑75') and 4 of their 11 goals between (76'‑90').

Levante starts for this game with a 3-0 defeat against Barcelona, putting an end to the three straight games without losing. We remember that in the first leg of the 8th finals, Levante defeated Espanyol away from home, by (1-2). The away team should play in a tactical system equal to the last game, that is, the 4-2-3-1, however, privileges the direct football for the attack. José Luis Morales is Levante's top scorer in all competitions with 6 goals scored. It seems that coach Juan Muñiz can not count on Alegría, Ivan Lopez and Roger Marti.

Confirmed Lineup: Raúl Fernández, Shaquell Kwame Moore, Toño, Erick Cabaco, Chema, Campaña, Samu, Saša Lukić, Enis Bardhi, Nano Mesa, Jason.
Coach: F. Miñambres Fernández.

Analysis Espanyol

After the home loss in the 1st leg, the away team comes to this 2nd leg with a disadvantage of 1 goal and the hard task of having to come back from a negative result in an away match. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 12 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 7 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 15 conceded. In their last match, for the Primera División, they got an away win against Málaga by (0‑1). In the last 10 away matches Espanyol has won 1, tied 5 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Espanyol starts for this game motivated after a (0-1) victory over Malaga. This victory may have motivated the team for this second leg of the 8th finals of Copa Del Rey. After the negative result in the first match, coach Quique Flores should organize the team in the usual tactical system, that is the 4-2-3-1 , privileging ball possession and attacks by the flanks. Pablo Piatti is very fast and competent in transporting the ball to the attack. On the other hand, forward Gerard Moreno is Espanyol's top scorer with 9 goals scored. For this game the home coach can not count on the injured Morilla and Adrian López.

Confirmed Lineup: Diego López, Marc Navarro, Dídac Vila, Naldo, Hermoso, David López, Javi Fuego, Granero, José Jurado, Gerard Moreno, Léo Baptistão.
Coach: L. Ramis Monfort.
