Barcelona vs Levante Prediction & Betting tips
FC Barcelona has a real crisis on their necks that they haven’t shaken off for weeks. This crisis culminated this week, when there were two bankruptcies and they lost first place in the Champions League.
Now Barcelona want to free themselves in the league with a success and shoot the frustration from the soul. On Sunday evening, Barça welcomes cellar child Levante to Camp Nou – possibly a grateful opponent in this endeavor, at least on paper.
Let’s look at Barcelona vs. Levante on the odds of the best bookmakers, it is certainly not surprising that Barcelona are the clear favorites – despite the crisis.
Barcelona :
Four wins from ten games, as many bankruptcies as wins: Barcelona’s start to the season is the worst in decades. Blaugrana is currently in ninth place with a meager 14 points, is closer to relegation (three points ahead) than to the Champions League places (six points behind).
These are sobering numbers that you are not used to from Barça. The crisis has various reasons, including, of course, the injuries of some regular players such as Ansu Fati, Gerard Piqué and Sergi Roberto. These three players will continue to be absent in the next few weeks and months – in the short and medium term, Ousmane Dembélé will also be out with another muscle injury, another bad news for Ronald Koeman’s team.
Even regardless of injuries, Koeman is worried about the mental dropouts of his men. Again and again, the players allow themselves to make inexplicable mistakes, such as the last defeats against Cadiz (1: 2) and Juventus (0: 3). Here it was especially Clement Lenglet who drew negative attention to himself.
The two bankruptcies within a few days have shaken Barcelona. The embarrassing defeat in Cadiz shook the sensitive structure, after all Barça had won three competitive games in a row without conceding a goal – and played convincingly.
Barça then collapsed a few days later against Juventus, when the 3-0 in the ‘final’ for the group win, the Catalans finally noticed the crisis. The question now is: Can Barça recover from these bankruptcies and draw courage against Levante with three points?
Levante:
Barcelona will not underestimate the guests from Levante, after all, Barça must finally get the curve in the league and be focused on the point in order to do this.
Because while Barça recently conceded two bad bankruptcies, Levante has been unbeaten for a full six games – even if, curiously, there were five draws in a row before they could finally celebrate a victory on the last day of the game. It was only the second three-point this season.
But this was all the more convincing, as they beat Getafe 3-0 at home. This series and precisely this success over the actually uncomfortable Bordalas team should give Levante a lot of self-confidence before the guest appearance at Camp Nou at the ailing FC Barcelona.
Therefore, we do not consider the betting providers’ offers to be entirely appropriate. At the game Barcelona vs. Levante, the tip on a draw or even on the away win can therefore be very lucrative.
After all, the Catalans have rarely been as easy to break as they are at the moment. Messi and Co. have recently lost their aura of invincibility, especially at Camp Nou, where there were two home bankruptcies against Real Madrid and most recently Juventus – in both with three goals conceded.
If you score three goals against Getafe, you can also damage Barça’s shaky defensive network. We therefore also consider Levante to score a goal at Camp Nou as interesting value and anything but unlikely.
