In past meetings, Villarreal have beaten Levante almost every time, especially at home where they have previously secured landslide victories. However, returning to face each other this time around, both teams are level on 5 points in the table, which should make the atmosphere of the contest more tense and cautious than ever. The hosts recently restored their confidence with a 3-1 win in their latest league outing after suffering several consecutive defeats prior to that. For this match, they are expected to deploy Gerard Moreno Balaguero alongside Georges Mikautadze to hunt for goals and pressure the visitors' defence. Meanwhile, Levante's form remains inconsistent, having just suffered a 2-4 defeat, with a vulnerable backline that has already conceded 9 goals in 5 matches. In this match, Villarreal are likely to control possession and take the attack to their opponents right from the start, while Levante, led in attack by Petar Ratkov, will probably focus on sitting in a deep defensive block and waiting to break on quick counter-attacks when opportunities arise.
