Levante UD vs Sevilla 12 October 2026 Prediction

Levante vs Sevilla closes out the eighth round of La Liga. Levante is trying to move away from the relegation zone, while Sevilla sits in the top five. Levante won both meetings last season without conceding. Can Sevilla reverse that result?

Levante Leaves Too Much Space at the Back

Levante has five points from six matches. Its only win came at home against Betis (5-2), handing Betis its first league defeat of the season. Before the international break, Levante lost to Barcelona (2-4) and Villarreal (1-3). Those two games brought seven goals conceded. Luis Castro’s side has allowed at least two goals in four of its six league matches. Improving defensively is the priority if Levante is to climb the table.

Home form gives Levante some encouragement. Before the loss to Barcelona, it had gone eight straight league games unbeaten at the Ciutat de València, with seven wins and a draw. Iván Romero has scored in each of the last two rounds. He also contributed two goals and an assist against Sevilla last season. Hugo Sotelo, Alejandro Primo and Karl Etta Eyong are all questionable because of injuries.

Sevilla Scores Most of Its Goals After Halftime

Sevilla is fifth after seven rounds, with four wins and a draw. It has not started a season this well since 2021-22. Its two league losses came against Atlético Madrid and Barcelona, both by 3-1 scores. Sevilla also lost a friendly to Aston Villa 3-1 during the international break. Under manager Luis García Plaza, Sevilla has won eight of 16 La Liga matches. It won the same number in 29 games under Matías Almeyda last season.

Sevilla is unbeaten in three league away games, winning twice and drawing once. Eight of its 10 La Liga goals have come in the second half. Last season’s meetings favor Levante, though: Sevilla lost 3-0 at home and 2-0 away. García Plaza has also lost four of his last six matches against Levante as a manager. Lucas Stassin is questionable as he recovers from an injury.

Levante vs Sevilla Predicted Lineup

Levante (4-1-4-1): Ryan; Toljan, De la Fuente, Mandi, M. Sánchez; Rey; Brugué, Olasagasti, Bardeli, Thiago; Romero.

Injury report: Sotelo, Primo, Etta Eyong (all questionable).

Injury report: Marcão (injured), Stassin (questionable).

Manager: Luis García Plaza.

Levante vs Sevilla Prediction: Sevilla to Win at 2.60

Main pick: Sevilla is unbeaten away from home in the league and has conceded just twice in three road games. Levante has scored seven goals in two home matches but conceded six. Sevilla’s defensive record should make chances harder to come by for the hosts, while Levante’s back line may struggle to contain the visitors. Sevilla had also gone four straight visits to the Ciutat de València without defeat before losing there last season. The pick is Sevilla to win at 2.60.

Goals pick: Levante’s two home games have produced 13 goals, and Sevilla has scored five times in three league away games. Three of the last four meetings have featured at least three goals. The additional pick is over 2.5 goals at 2.04.
