Match Preview
Levante enters this contest under immense pressure. Luis Castro has struggled to find a balance between a decent attack and a porous defense. It is quite a worry for the local fans who have seen their side lose eleven times in nineteen games so far.
The injury list is not helping things either. Diego Pampin and Victor Garcia are out. Unai Elgezabal and Roger Brugue will also miss out due to knee issues. Still, the presence of Etta Eyong gives them a fighting chance to score on Friday night.
Honestly, the home form is just tragic. Three points from eight matches at the Ciutat de Valencia is simply not good enough for survival. They have conceded eighteen times in those games. Can they finally tighten up at the back against a visiting side?
Elche arrives with high hopes of a top six finish. Eder Sarabia has built a side that is hard to beat, though they do draw a lot of games. They have played out nine draws this season which is the most in LaLiga.
David Affengruber is the name on everyone's lips right now. His performances have been stellar and rumors of a move to Manchester United are growing. He will be vital in stopping Eyong. However, they are also missing key players like Pedro Bigas.
The visitors are winless in 2026 but their scoring streak is impressive. It feels like they just need a bit more luck on their travels. I expect a very tight game where small details matter. That is my LaLiga Predictions for this weekend.
Rafa Mir is attracting interest from Saudi Arabia, with Al-Ittihad making an offer for the Elche striker during the January window. Currently on loan from Sevilla, Mir's future remains uncertain as both clubs evaluate the financial implications of a mid-season move. Despite a recent hamstring injury, the forward is open to the transfer, potentially allowing Sevilla to lighten their wage bill while Elche considers its options.

Prediction
X2 @1.57
Elche holds a significant lead in the table and looks much more organized than the hosts. While they have struggled on the road, Levante's home record of 0.38 points per game is the worst in the league, making a home win very unlikely here.
The visitors have scored in six consecutive matches and should find enough space to exploit a defense that concedes 2.25 goals at home. With seven draws for Elche already, a stalemate or a narrow away win is the most logical outcome.
