Levante vs Sevilla Prediction, October 12, 2026: Can the Granotas Finally End Their Sevilla Hoodoo? 🏆

Levante vs Sevilla Prediction: Match Preview

Levante welcome Sevilla to the Estadi Ciutat de València on Monday evening for the final fixture of LaLiga’s eighth round, with both clubs desperate to rediscover their rhythm after a 23-day international hiatus. The Granotas have not won in four league matches and are hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone, while Sevilla have been one of the division’s most impressive travellers, unbeaten on the road with two wins and a draw from three away fixtures. The historical record at this venue favours the visitors, but Levante’s stunning 2-0 victory over Sevilla in April remains a vivid memory.

Head-to-Head Record 📋

Sevilla hold the historical edge in this fixture. Across 17 LaLiga meetings at Levante’s home ground, the Andalusians have won eight, Levante five, with four draws.

However, the most recent encounter at this venue delivered a 2-0 Levante victory in April 2026, with Iván Romero scoring twice.

Levante Form 🔵

Last 5: L-D-L-W-L

Levante’s campaign has been a struggle for consistency. The Granotas have just one win from seven matches, leaving them 17th in the table and nervously eyeing the relegation places. Their most recent outing was a 3-1 defeat at Villarreal, extending a run of four matches without victory. Roger Brugué has been their most reliable attacking outlet with three goals, but the team has lacked a consistent cutting edge.

Team News: Levante face significant absences. Hugo Sotelo is out with a knee sprain, while Etta Eyong remains unavailable due to a thigh injury, though coach Luis Castro confirmed the Cameroonian is “getting closer” to a return. The good news is that Musuayi and Ratkov have both improved during the break and could offer fresh attacking options.

Sevilla Form ⚪

Last 5: W-L-W-W-D

Sevilla have been one of LaLiga’s surprise packages this season, sitting fifth with 13 points from seven matches under Luis García Plaza. Their away form is particularly impressive: two wins and a draw from three road fixtures, making them one of the division’s best travellers. Their only defeats came against Atlético Madrid and Barcelona. Miguel Sierra has been a standout performer on the right wing, while Kike Salas has enjoyed a “spectacular season” at centre-back, according to his coach.

Team News: Sevilla’s main absentee is Lucas Stassin, who has not recovered from a groin problem in time for this fixture. Marcão remains sidelined with a muscle injury, and Iker Muñoz is also unavailable. However, Kike Salas returns to the starting XI after missing the Barcelona defeat, and Rubén Vargas is back in the squad after a lengthy absence, though he is not yet fit to start.

Team News & Predicted Lineups 📰

Levante Predicted Lineup (4-3-3)

Ryan; Toljan, Dela, Mandi, Manu Sánchez; Oriol Rey, Olasagasti, Bardeli; Thiago Fernández, Iván Romero, Brugué

Castro is expected to retain the core of his usual XI, with Iván Romero and Brugué leading the attack.

Sevilla Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Vlachodimos; Juan Iglesias, Castrín, Kike Salas, Suazo; Agoumé, Fofana; Miguel Sierra, Kochorashvili, Félix Correia; Isaac Romero

With Stassin out, Isaac Romero is expected to lead the line. Kochorashvili faces his former club and could operate in an advanced midfield role.

xG & Tactical Analysis 📈

Statistical models paint a remarkably even picture. Levante have a 37.64% win probability, Sevilla 36%, and the draw 26.36%. The most likely scoreline is 1-1 (11.61%), followed by 1-2 (8%) and 2-1 (7.9%). Both Teams to Score carries a 60.46% probability, reflecting both sides’ tendency to find the net.

Luis García Plaza acknowledged Levante’s quality, noting they are “a proactive side, with skilful, dynamic players who switch positions” and insisting his Sevilla side must “control the game well” to succeed. The key battle will be Sevilla’s midfield control against Levante’s fluid attacking rotations. Sevilla’s away record is built on defensive discipline, but the absence of Stassin removes their most potent central striker.

Betting Analysis 💰

The market reflects the statistical parity. Levante are marginal favourites at 2.45-2.70, with Sevilla close behind at 2.55-2.65, and the draw at 3.10-3.35. Both Teams to Score is attractively priced given the 60% probability, while Over 2.5 goals carries a 57.5% likelihood. The correct score market favours 1-1, the most statistically probable outcome.

Final Prediction 🏁

Levante 1-1 Sevilla

This is a fixture where the statistics and the circumstances align to produce a stalemate. Levante’s home desperation meets Sevilla’s away resilience, and neither side possesses a decisive advantage. Sevilla’s unbeaten road record is admirable, but their attacking output without Stassin is diminished, leaving Isaac Romero to carry the goalscoring burden.

Levante will be lifted by the Ciutat de València crowd and the memory of that 2-0 triumph in April. Iván Romero, who scored twice that day, remains the Granotas’ most dangerous forward. However, their defensive vulnerabilities—exposed by Villarreal before the break—invite pressure from Sevilla’s creative midfielders.

A share of the spoils feels the fairest outcome: Levante’s home hunger earning a point, Sevilla’s quality preventing defeat.

Prediction: Levante 1-1 Sevilla. Iván Romero opens the scoring for the hosts, but Sevilla’s persistence pays off as Kike Salas equalises from a set-piece, extending their unbeaten away run.
