The Matchday 11 clash in La Liga between Levante and Celta will take place on November 2 at the Ciudad de Valencia Stadium. Levante vs. Celta: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Levante
The team has been inconsistent, alternating between various match outcomes. In their last seven La Liga games, Levante has managed only two wins, with the same number of losses. In the previous round, Julian Calero's side drew with Mallorca, squandering their lead late in the game. As a result, the club has slipped to 15th place in the standings. Their position is precarious, as Levante is ahead of four teams only based on additional metrics. A setback could see them in the relegation zone by the end of this week. Notably, the club lacks defensive reliability, having conceded 18 goals in La Liga, with only Oviedo and Girona faring worse. Another issue is that Levante has yet to win at home, securing just one point in four home league games, which is the worst record in the league.
- The club has scored in 10 of their last 12 La Liga matches.
- Levante has won with a handicap (+1.5) in 9 of their last 11 home La Liga games.
- Both teams have scored in 7 of Levante's last 8 home league matches.
Projected lineup for Levante (4-4-2)*
Mathew Ryan – Jeremy Toljan, Unai Elgezabal, Mathias Moreno, Manu Sanchez – Kervin Arriaga, Unai Vencedor, Victor Garcia, Pablo Martinez – Karl Etta-Ejong, Godwin Koyaliou.
Defender Diego Pampin, midfielder Pablo Martinez, and forward Ivan Romero are out due to injuries. Midfielder Oriol Rey's participation is in doubt.
Celta
Last weekend, the club secured their long-awaited first victory of the current La Liga season. Celta showed resilience, snatching three points at the end of a tough away game against Osasuna (3-2). Thanks to a decisive goal in the 87th minute, the team avoided what could have been their eighth draw in ten rounds. Despite not sharing points this time, the Galician side remains the most draw-prone team in the tournament. Importantly, Claudio Giraldez's men have left the relegation zone, climbing to 13th place in the standings. Celta still struggles to keep a clean sheet in La Liga, but it's worth noting that they have consistently exchanged goals with opponents in their last nine matches.
- Celta's away scoring streak in La Liga extends to 15 games.
- Celta has won with a handicap (+1.5) in 16 of their last away league matches.
- The club has not scored more than one goal in 9 of their last 10 La Liga games.
Projected lineup for Celta (3-4-3)*
Andrei Radu – Joseph Aidoo, Manu Fernandez, Marcos Alonso – Sergio Carreira, Damian Rodriguez, Ilaix Moriba, Mihailo Ristic – Bryan Zaragoza, Borja Iglesias, Ferran Jutgla.
Key defender Carl Starfelt has served his suspension. Another defender, Javier Rueda, is unavailable due to injury. Forward Williot Swedberg and defender Javi Rodriguez's participation is in doubt.

Levante vs. Celta: Match Prediction
Levante has been erratic, and after a tough start, the team doesn't lose often but has only won 2 out of 10 La Liga matches this season. Interestingly, Julian Calero's side has only secured three points away from home. In their last four home league games, Levante has recorded one draw and three losses. It's important to note that all these four matches were high-scoring, with Levante consistently conceding at least two goals.
Celta, as the most draw-prone team in the league, has recorded seven draws in the first ten rounds, but a week ago, Claudio Giraldez's men claimed their first victory of the season. The club secured crucial points in the final minutes, a significant psychological boost for the players. Now, Celta should feel more confident. Moreover, they face a relatively favorable opponent on Sunday. The Galicians are unbeaten in four consecutive La Liga meetings with Levante (2 wins, 2 draws), and in all four encounters, at least two goals have been scored. In matches played at Levante's ground, Celta has not lost in 9 of the last 10 league encounters, securing seven wins.
My prediction – Double chance X2 and total over 1.5 goals
