Levante vs Deportivo Alavés

Match Overview

Levante welcomes Deportivo Alavés to Estadio Ciudad de Valencia in a La Liga fixture that pits two mid-to-lower table sides against each other. Levante has found home games tough going, with sparse scoring and defensive issues, while Alavés brings a gritty road presence that often keeps things tight. These matchups typically deliver low-key affairs, featuring draws or goals from both ends without explosive totals.

Recent Form Analysis

Levante’s last 10 outings paint a grim picture: just 1 win, 3 draws, and 6 losses. At home, they’ve managed a 1-1 draw with Espanyol, another 1-1 against Real Sociedad, a 3-2 victory over Elche, a goalless stalemate with Atlético Madrid, and defeats like 0-1 to Villarreal and 0-2 to Valencia—overall, a modest 1 win, 4 draws, and 3 losses in recent home action, but with only 5 goals scored across 7 games.

Alavés fares better lately, with 3 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses in their past 10. On the road, they’ve notched a 2-1 win at Espanyol and a 1-1 draw at Sevilla, but losses such as 0-2 at Getafe, 2-3 at Real Sociedad, 1-0 at Atlético Madrid, and 3-1 at Villarreal give them a 2-1-4 away record—scoring in 70% of those, averaging 1.2 goals while leaking 1.7 per match.

Levante’s attack remains anemic at home, averaging under a goal, and they concede often, shipping 12 in their last 5 overall. Alavés mixes resilience with competitiveness, relying on key players like forwards Toni Martínez and Lucas Boyé, plus midfield anchors Denis Suárez and Carles Aleñá—no fatigue or injury worries disrupt their balanced setup.

Tactical Trends

Levante leans defensive at home but with cracks showing; they’ve conceded in 6 of their last 7 home games, yet their setup limits big scores—under 2.5 goals in 70% of recent matches. Alavés thrives on counters, which fuels both-teams-scoring scenarios in 60% of their games overall, and they break through against similar defenses.

This clash could hinge on Alavés exploiting Levante’s leaky backline while Levante’s forwards, Ivan Romero and Jose Luis Morales, probe for openings. Expect a cagey battle with mutual vulnerabilities, as Alavés’ away games often see goals traded, though totals stay modest.

• Levante’s home games: Frequent concessions but rare clean sheets.
• Alavés’ road form: Scoring consistency against mid-table foes, with BTTS in 50% of aways.

Betting Market Selection

For this La Liga encounter, the Both Teams to Score (BTTS) market stands out as the sharpest angle. Moneyline bets feel too unpredictable given the forms, and totals markets waver with Levante’s unders trend clashing against Alavés’ openness—BTTS captures the shared scoring potential without overreaching.

Prediction

BTTS Yes.

Rationale

Levante’s home defense has faltered, allowing goals in 6 of 7 recent fixtures, and Alavés has netted in 5 of their last 6 aways against comparable teams—their attack, led by Martínez and Boyé, should find a way through. On the flip side, Levante’s Romero and Morales can capitalize on Alavés’ away slips, where BTTS has hit in half their outings.

Combined, 65% of their recent games across both sides have seen both teams score, underscoring mutual threats without one side dominating. This edges out totals bets, which lean under, making BTTS the more reliable play amid the variability.
