Levante - Valencia: Tips, prognosis & odds - 12/20/2021 - SPAIN: La Liga
City duel in Valencia: Will the favorite guests prevail?
Levante will have to fight to stay up until the end of this year. At the moment they don't have good cards because they are the only team in the league that have not yet won a game. With 8 draws they have 8 points and still have some hope. Still in last place, they are already missing 7 points on the saving bank. The city rival, however, seems to be able to take another step forward this year. After some rather disappointing seasons, they seem to be able to play for the European Cup again this year. After a series of 5 unbeaten games in a row, they climbed to 7th place in the table

The guests are in their strongest form so far this season. After 5 unbeaten games and 2 wins in a row, they climbed to 7th place in the table. The city rival Levante, on the other hand, occupies the bottom of the table and is the only team that has not yet won a single game

As the only one of the 20 teams in La Liga, Levante UD has still not won a win in the 2021/22 season. The Granotes hold the red lantern with eight draws and nine defeats in 17 games. Now, of all times, the Derbi del Turia is coming up, in which city rivals Valencia CF will make a guest appearance in the Ciutat de València. For their part, the Murciélagos have only won two of their last 18 away games.

It is true that the Granotes won the last city derby in March this year 1-0 at home. In fact, it was the only derby win against Valencia CF in the last eight duels (three draws, four defeats). We find correspondingly more value at Levante against Valencia in tip 2.

UD Levante - do you have to go back to the 2nd division this year?
Since the promotion to the Spanish Primera Division in 2017, the club has not even made it to a single-digit place in the table. In 3 of these 4 years it was not enough for a place in the top 13 of the table. One is therefore quite used to the relegation battle. This year, however, after a disastrous start, they are the favorite for relegation. As the only team, they have not yet achieved a single victory. With at least 8 points, they occupy the last place in the table. The gap to 17th place is already 7 points and the chance of reaching this level diminishes from game day to game day.

Will you win your first win in the derby of all places?
Despite not yet winning a single game, the team lost "only” 9 out of 17 league games. This is because 8 games have already ended in a draw and they therefore regularly manage to make a game close. 6 of these 8 draws were achieved at home. So they only suffered 2 home defeats. A positive aspect to be emphasized at home games is the defense, which conceded only 11 goals. Overall, with 32 goals conceded, this is the worst in the entire league. But the offensive at home is a problem. Only 6 goals conceded were scored and they failed to score in 5 games.

Levante - Statistics & Current Form
The Levante Unión Deportiva celebrated their greatest triumph in the summer of 1937, when not only could the Copa del Rey be won for the first and only time in the club's history, but also in the final as none other than the hated city rival and today's opponent Valencia CF with 1 : 0 could be defeated.

Since then, however, those responsible have been waiting for further successes. Most recently, the Granotes (in German: the frogs) also spent time in the second division, from which they rose again in 2016/17 as champions of La Liga 2 just one year after their last relegation.

After four seasons under Paco López, in which the relegation always succeeded, the signs for the fifth consecutive year of membership in the top Spanish division are goodbye. Across the seasons, Levante has not won any of the last 20 league games.

Even under López's successor and interim trainer Alessio Lisci, this unprecedented negative series has so far not come to an end. Most recently Levante even flew on penalties against the lower-class club CD Alcoyano in the Copa del Rey.

Accordingly, the men from Valencia are counted in the run-up to the prestigious Derbi del Turia, in which the first three of the 2021/22 season should finally jump out in the 18th attempt. With already seven points behind the rescue bank, it would be high time.

In view of the fact that eight of the last ten league home games ended in a draw, at least winning points cannot be ruled out. But because a maximum of one own goal was scored in six of the last seven home games, Levante's tip against Valencia is still more in the direction of the formally strong guests.

Valencia - statistics & current form
The Valencia Club de Fútbol only landed 13th in the final table of La Liga this summer. For the second year in a row, the two-time Champions League finalist, who could still be found in the second round of the premier class in 2019/20, thus missed the qualification for an international competition.

Twelve of 18 possible points from the last six league games
The interim conclusion after 17 completed games is mixed. Between the fifth and eleventh match day, the kickers from the Spanish east coast remained without a win in seven consecutive league games and only scored three out of a possible 21 points.

In the meantime, however, the Murciélagos are back at the top third of the table. Most recently they were unbeaten six times in a row (three wins, three draws). If a three-point against city rivals Levante and Espanyol Barcelona also succeeds on the last two match days of the calendar year, the first half of the season could actually end in the top six.

An away record that is also reflected in the odds at Levante against Valencia. The bookmaker ADMIRALBET, tested by betting base, offers prices of 2.75 for the Valencians to land an away win in the city derby. A favorite role can therefore not be spoken of, especially since the recent injury to Dimitri Foulquier adds to this, through which coach Pepe Bordalás has to compensate for a total of five failures.

The last derbies between Levante and Valencia
Here, Valencia CF has a clearly better record. Since Levante's rise in 2017, the hosts have managed only one win. However, this was precisely the last game so far last season when they were also able to prevail 1-0 at home. That being said, Valencia won 4 of their last 7 games. In each of these, both teams also scored a goal.

The former top club is on the right track after the so-called rebuild. With many new and young players, you have been able to build a foundation in the last two years. Now this seems to be reflected in the table, because after positions 9 and 12 in the last two years, they are currently in 7th place this year. Only 2 points are missing from a European Cup place and only 4 from a Champions League place. They owe this to their good form as they have been unbeaten in 6 games.
Free soccer picks
After 6 unbeaten games in a row, the team was able to improve the balance to 6 wins, 7 draws and 4 defeats. The goal difference is now positive and stands at 26:23 goals. While you're one of the better teams offensively, you conceded the most goals in the upper half of the table at the same time. They conceded 13 goals in 8 away games alone. Therefore, you have a negative balance of 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. The last away game so far was won 1: 2. They have been unbeaten away from home for two games.

Betting base forecast & Spain Levante - Valencia Spain: tip
At Levante against Valencia, the prognosis must take into account that the Granotes are the only team in La Liga to be completely without a win. Across the seasons none of the last 20 league games was won, which is why the tendency is clearly towards the visiting team. After all, Valencia CF are currently unbeaten for six league games in a row and are in good shape in the city derby.

KEY-FACTS - LEVANTE VS. VALENCIA TIP:
- Levante has only won one of the last eight derbies against Valencia
- Valencia are unbeaten in six league games (three wins, three draws)
- Levante has been waiting for another win for 20 games across seasons
Free soccer tips
Given that even one of the last eight city derbies has been lost to the Granotes, it makes a lot of sense to bet on the Murciélagos to win away. However, because eight of Levante's last ten home games ended in a draw, the hedge should be done with a "Draw No Bet". After all, the guests are missing a total of five injured regular players, which could also be a factor.
For this purpose, Levante against Valencia has betting odds of 1.92, which we play with six units at the bookmaker Unibet, which has been tested by Wettbasis.

Forecast
Levante is the only team in the league that has not yet won a game. However, 6 out of 8 home games ended in a draw. For us, a draw no bet bet 2 is the best betting option. The last results of the derby also showed that mostly both teams score a goal. As an alternative, the betting tip "Both teams score YES" is therefore suitable.
