Levante vs Sevilla Prediction & Betting tips
The kick-off in LaLiga took place in Spain on Thursday evening and several football fans felt that they were back in 1998. In order to spice up the dreary atmosphere in the stadium, fictional spectators were projected onto the stands. The graphic quality caused a lot of ridicule on Twitter & Co. and the hashtag Fifa 98 was used a lot.
After all, football fans around the world have not lost their sense of humor and live football can be seen daily in Spain until the end of the 2019/20 season. The first day of play after the re-start will only be completed on Sunday, and the whistle for the 29th day of play will sound on Monday. This leads to a duel between Levante and Sevilla in the Ciutat de Valencia.
The first major finding after restarting Spanish football is the fact that it is best to avoid turning off the TV early. In the final phase, drama was still required in almost all games. Levante showed great morale and equalized in the derby against Valencia in minute 98. A point win would be a complete success even on Monday evening. The guests from Andalusia, currently third in the LaLiga, are a clear favorite. The game starts on Monday at 18:30 p.m.
Levante:
The kickers of the UD Levante have bad memories of the Mestalla stadium of local rival Valencia. After all, there has never been an away win in the club’s history. Although the Lopez team was not successful at this premiere on Friday evening, the conclusion was still satisfactory after a break of three months.
The lack of game practice was clearly noticeable at the beginning and a torn game developed. However, Valencia continued to take command and were unlucky with two aluminum goals in the first round. Valencia increased their pace even more in the second period, but Levante defended deftly and was able to avoid the risk of scoring in most cases.
After a yellow-red card against top scorer Roger Marti (eleven goals), Valencia pressed vehemently on the winning goal and took the lead in minute 89 through Rodrigo Moreno (cousin of Thiago Alcantara) after a Gaya-Stangerl pass. Deep in stoppage time, a controversial decision made Levante score.
In minute 96, Campana was brought down by Diakhaby on the edge of the box and after VAR check-in, substitute Gonzalo Melero kept his nerve in minute 98 and fixed the point win. Not only was the Derby defeat prevented, but Levante collected another point in the fight against relegation. Nine points ahead of the RCD Mallorca is currently an extremely comfortable cushion.
The good starting position ten laps before the end is due to the home strength. In the small Ciutat de Valencia – a maximum of 25,000 spectators have space – Levante celebrated seven wins and only suffered three losses. The home strength is underlined by a look at the results so far, including that both FC Barcelona and Real Madrid had to leave the Ciutat de Valencia with a loss.
Seville:
The break in Spanish football lasted for 93 days and the city derby in Seville made a proper start. In the current table there are perceived worlds between the two clubs, but in such games the table is usually negligible. This could also be seen on the pitch and a balanced game developed which, due to a controversial decision, tipped in the direction of the “Sevillistas”.
Ex-BVB defender Marc Bartra supported himself minimally against ex-Gladbach player Luuk de Jong in the 16s and the Betis supporters were shocked by a penalty. Argentinian winger Lucas Ocampos did not get asked twice and scored the first goal after the 93-day mandatory break. Just six minutes later, Ocampos was the center of attention again, he served Fernando perfectly and he scored the goal to the 2-0 final score.
FC Sevilla, who is generally considered a representative of the upper class in Seville, has won both LaLiga duels against Betis Sevilla for the eleventh time in history. The first leg of the city rival ended with a 2-1 win for the current third in the table. In the 21st century, Sevilla also celebrated two derby wins in the 2016/17, 2013/14 and 2007/08 seasons.
In the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium at home, the “Sevillistas” have been a force for many years and no team likes to travel to Andalusia. In the foreign country, however, the red and whites were often a welcome guest and time and again the team in the foreign country gambled away a better place in the table.
Since Julen Lopetegui has been in charge, there is no sign of the weakness away. In the course of the season so far, Sevilla have won seven games in a foreign place. This means that more away wins have been celebrated in 2019/20 than in the entire season in recent years. Seville recently celebrated more than seven away wins in the 2014/15 season.
