Levante - Mallorca | Duelo de Primera en el Ciutat El Levante llega lanzado y quiere el quinto triunfo seguido en casa para salvarse • Raíllo no se quiere perder la final y forzará para ser titular Levante y Real Mallorca, empatados a 39 puntos en el filo de la navaja —penúltimo y antepenúltimo—, se citan este domingo en el Ciutat en un duelo a vida o muerte. No valen las medias tintas: el empate es un billete hacia el abismo para ambos. Una derrota, en función de la carambola en otros campos, puede certificar el descenso matemático a Segunda o dejar al caído en el corredor de la muerte. Por el contrario, el botín de los tres puntos es la vida; el salvoconducto definitivo para depender de sí mismos en la última jornada. Cómo llega el Levante En una auténtica final, los de Luís Castro intentarán buscar el quinto triunfo seguido como local y encadenar la mejor racha de victorias en toda la temporada, que se sitúa en tres. Con una convocatoria similar a la del partido anterior ante Osasuna, con recibimiento incluido a la plantilla en los aledaños del feudo del barrio de Orriols, el club ha colgado el cartel de no hay billete y se espera lleno absoluto en el último partido en el Ciutat de la temporada. Cómo llega el Mallorca Los bermellones llegan con una dinámica complicada al Ciutat, con una derrota en Getafe que fue dura en cuanto a resultado, pero sobre todo en cuanto a imagen, ya que el equipo no representó lo que venía haciendo. Demichelis recupera a su capitán, al que se ha referido como “el alma del equipo”. Antonio Raíllo, que viajará a Valencia con la intención de forzar hasta donde sea posible. También recupera a Samu Costa, que no pudo estar en Getafe por acumulación de tarjetas. El duelo del partido: Espí vs Muriqi Espí vs Muriqi.#levante #luis_castro #real_mallorca #ciutat #demichelis
Cameroon striker breaks six-month drought to give Levante priceless win in La Liga Levante secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over 10-man Osasuna in La Liga on Friday, with Cameroon striker Karl Etta Eyong scoring his first goal in over six months to lift the club out of the relegation zone. The match, played at Valencia’s Mestalla Stadium, saw a thrilling turnaround as the hosts overcame a two-goal deficit to claim third place from bottom in the table. Etta Eyong, who had gone 22 matches without a league goal since October, delivered a stoppage-time header to seal the win. The 28-year-old forward, who had previously scored six goals in his first 10 league matches of the season, had been a key figure for Levante but had struggled to find form in recent months. His late strike, which came after he replaced Pablo Martínez in the 76th minute, sent the home crowd into euphoria and marked a crucial moment for the struggling side. The match began with Osasuna taking an early lead, as Jeremy Toljan conceded an own goal just 160 seconds into the game. Ante Budimir extended the visitors’ advantage eight minutes later, netting his 18th league goal of the season with a low strike into the corner. Levante, however, responded with a spirited second-half surge. Víctor García, the team’s full-back, played a pivotal role in the comeback, scoring twice in a span of two minutes to level the scores. García’s first goal came from a corner, as he darted to the far post to convert the set piece. His second, a 30-meter free-kick, was a spectacular effort that sailed over the goalkeeper’s head, leaving the Osasuna keeper with no chance.#osasuna #valencia #mestalla_stadium #levante #karl_etta_eyong
Villarreal vs Levante: Prediction, Team News, and Lineups for La Liga Clash Levante’s fight to avoid La Liga relegation continues as they face Villarreal at Estadio de la Ceramica on Saturday. The visitors, currently 19th in the league table, sit two points above the relegation zone, while Villarreal, ranked third, are 15 points ahead of fifth-placed Real Betis with just five matches remaining. Villarreal’s position in the top four appears secure, though Marcelino’s side could solidify their standing with a win. The Yellow Submarine’s recent form includes a 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo, having won four of their last seven league games. Despite a disappointing Champions League campaign, where they earned only one point from eight fixtures, Villarreal are expected to compete strongly in the 2026-27 tournament. Villarreal’s home record in La Liga this season is among the best, with 40 points from 16 matches. In contrast, Levante have struggled on the road, losing nine of their 16 away games. The Frogs, who won the Segunda Division last season, are in a tight relegation battle, sitting 19th with 33 points from 33 matches. They are two points behind 17th-placed Mallorca and three points ahead of Alaves in 16th. Luis Castro’s team has picked up seven points in their last three matches, but their upcoming clash against Villarreal poses a significant challenge. Levante’s historical record against Villarreal is unfavorable, having won just nine of their previous 35 matches in all competitions. Their last encounter with the Yellow Submarine ended in a 1-0 defeat earlier this season. Both teams face injury concerns. Villarreal will be without Juan Foyth and Pau Cabanes, with Santiago Mourino a major doubt.#levante #villarreal #marcelino #luis_castro #santiago_mourino
A new king on the throne: Espi ascendant as Eyong's star fades Levante’s battle for survival continues on Monday as they play host to Getafe. With the margin for error rapidly vanishing, the 'Granotas' will look to talismanic top scorer Carlos Espi to spearhead their escape—a role previously held by Etta Eyong, who has since slipped into the shadows. The club’s fate hangs in the balance as they face a critical matchday 31 clash against Getafe, a do-or-die opportunity to reignite their survival bid. Currently, Levante find themselves rooted to the bottom of La Liga, trailing safety by seven points. However, they still hold a game in hand, with 24 points remaining to be earned. There is no room for mistakes, and their hopes of maintaining their top-flight status rest squarely on the shoulders of Espi. The striker, hailing from Tavernes de la Valldigna, has emerged as the club’s primary threat, currently topping the scoring charts with nine goals. His recent form has been nothing short of blistering, with six goals in his last five appearances—a remarkable upturn compared to the three goals he managed across his first 14 fixtures. Earlier in the campaign, the Ciutat de Valencia had a different hero to worship: Etta Eyong. Prior to Espi’s meteoric rise, the Cameroonian marksman was the side’s primary threat. Indeed, all five of his goals this term were registered in a prolific burst between matchday 4 and 10. Eyong’s dominance was a defining feature of Levante’s early season, but his contributions have since waned, leaving the team to rely on Espi’s growing influence. The contrast between Espi and Eyong highlights the fickle nature of footballing fortunes. A single match, a missed opportunity, or a change in form can shift the narrative entirely.#getafe #levante #carlos_esp #etta_eyong #tavernes_de_la_valldigna
Levante vs Getafe Match Prediction and Betting Analysis (13.04.2026) Levante and Getafe are set to face off in the 31st round of LaLiga on 13 April 2026, with the hosts battling relegation and the visitors vying for a European Cup spot. The match promises to be a critical test for both teams, as Levante seeks to end a four-match winless streak and Getafe aims to maintain their push for top-six finishes. Bookmakers have priced Getafe as a slight favorite at odds of 2.95, citing their recent form and historical dominance over Levante. Levante, currently languishing in the relegation zone, has struggled defensively this season. Over the past 12 months, the team has conceded 50 league goals—the worst record in LaLiga—while managing only 34 goals of their own. Despite this, Levante has shown resilience at home, recording three points in their last three matches at the Estadio de Montilla. However, their defense has been inconsistent, failing to keep a clean sheet in four of their last five home games. The team’s only injury concern is Brugi, who will miss the match, but manager Luis Castro has a deep squad capable of replacing him. Getafe, meanwhile, has been in excellent form, securing four of their last five league matches to climb to eighth place. The team’s recent success has been fueled by a strong defense, which has kept clean sheets in three of their last five games. However, their away record remains a challenge, as they have not beaten Levante in 14 consecutive encounters. Despite this, Getafe’s away campaign has been impressive, with only one defeat in six matches outside their home stadium. The squad faces several injury and suspension issues, including the absence of Jimenez, Mayoral, and Amrabarri, but head coach Jose Bordalas is expected to field a competitive lineup.#la_liga #getafe #levante #jose_bordalas #estadio_de_montilla
Levante vs Getafe: Prediction and Team Insights for La Liga Clash Levante and Getafe are set to face off in a crucial La Liga match as the two teams aim to secure vital points in their respective campaigns. The encounter, scheduled for Monday night, will take place at Estadio Ciudad de Valencia, where Levante will host the visitors. Getafe, currently sitting eighth in the league table, are looking to extend their winning streak to three consecutive matches, while Levante, languishing in 19th place, will be desperate to avoid further relegation struggles. Getafe’s position in the table places them three points behind sixth-placed Celta Vigo, a gap that could prove decisive in the race for European qualification. Meanwhile, Levante’s plight is more dire, as they trail 17th-placed Sevilla by five points, with the battle to avoid the drop intensifying as the season enters its final stages. Both teams have shown contrasting performances this season, with Getafe demonstrating resilience in recent fixtures and Levante struggling to find consistency. Levante’s La Liga record this season is marked by inconsistency, with six wins, eight draws, and 16 defeats from their 30 matches. Their 26 points have left them in 19th place, a position that has seen them face mounting pressure to avoid relegation. The Frogs, who are the reigning Segunda Division champions, have shown flashes of brilliance, most notably in their 4-2 victory over Real Oviedo on March 21. However, their recent form has been marred by a 2-0 loss to Real Sociedad, a setback that has left them firmly entrenched in the relegation fight. Levante’s home record has been particularly poor this season, with the team managing only 14 points from 15 matches at Estadio de Xerez.#la_liga #getafe #levante #estadio_ciudad_de_valencia #segunda_division
Gavi Returns to Champions League Stage as Barça Faces Atlético in Crucial Clash Gavi has been absent from the Champions League for nearly a year, with his last appearance coming on April 15, 2025, during the return leg of the quarterfinals against Borussia Dortmund. The 20-year-old midfielder, a key figure in Barcelona’s midfield, has been sidelined since September 2025 due to a meniscus injury in his right knee. After undergoing arthroscopic surgery, he returned to training but remained a fixture in LaLiga matches, making brief appearances against Sevilla and Atlético Madrid in March 2026. Now, as Barcelona prepares for its Champions League quarterfinal clash against Atlético Madrid, the club’s medical staff and coaching staff are optimistic about Gavi’s potential impact. The absence of Gavi from European competition has been a significant blow to Barcelona’s midfield, particularly in high-stakes matches. His last involvement in the Champions League came during the 2025-2026 season’s round of 16, where he played 7 minutes in the first leg against Inter Milan and 14 minutes in the second leg. Since then, he has been a regular in LaLiga, but his European campaign has been halted. The injury forced him to miss the first eight of Barcelona’s 10 European fixtures this season, with the club relying on younger players and substitutes to fill the void. Gavi’s return to the Champions League stage is seen as critical for Barcelona’s chances against Atlético Madrid, a team known for its defensive resilience and counterattacking prowess. The Catalan club’s manager, Xavi Hernández, has emphasized the importance of Gavi’s energy and technical ability in the midfield, particularly in the high-pressure environment of the Champions League.#barcelona #atltico_madrid #levante #gavi #xavi_hernndez
Levante and Real Oviedo Clash in Crucial La Liga Relegation Battle Two teams vying for survival in La Liga will face off at the Ciutat de Valencia on Saturday as Levante host Real Oviedo in a pivotal encounter. Both sides are locked in a relegation battle, with the result potentially shaping their fate as the season approaches its final stages. Levante, having returned to La Liga after a previous stint, have struggled to meet expectations. The Frogs currently sit 19th in the standings, with just five wins, eight draws, and 15 defeats from 28 matches. Their recent form has shown slight improvement, as they remain unbeaten in their last three games, including a 2-0 victory over Alaves and draws against Girona and Rayo Vallecano. However, defensive vulnerabilities persist, with the team conceding 46 goals this season—one of the worst records in the league. Despite these issues, Levante will draw confidence from their 2-0 away win over Real Oviedo in October. Real Oviedo, meanwhile, remain at the bottom of the table in 20th place, having secured only four wins, nine draws, and 15 losses in 28 matches. Scoring has been a major challenge for the Blues, who have netted just 18 goals this season—the lowest total in the league. Their recent 1-0 victory over Valencia has provided a glimmer of hope, though they trail safety by seven points. Manager Guillermo Almada’s side faces an uphill battle to avoid relegation, with survival still mathematically possible but requiring a strong finish to the campaign. Both teams have experienced instability in their coaching staffs. Levante parted ways with Julian Calero after four consecutive defeats and appointed Luis Castro in December, but results have not improved.#real_oviedo #guillermo_almada #levante #ciutat_de_valencia #luis_castro
Rayo Vallecano vs Levante Match Preview and Lineups Rayo Vallecano will aim for consecutive wins across all competitions as they host Levante in La Liga on Monday night. The capital club, currently 15th in the league table, sits six points above the relegation zone, while Levante, placed 19th, trails 17th-placed Elche by four points in the battle to avoid the drop. Rayo enters the match on a positive note after securing a 3-1 victory over Samsunspor in the first leg of their Conference League last-16 tie. This success positions them favorably for progression to the quarter-finals. Under manager Inigo Perez, Rayo has accumulated 31 points from 27 league matches, with a record of seven wins, 10 draws, and 10 losses. The team has remained unbeaten in their last five league games, though they drew 1-1 with Sevilla in their most recent fixture. Los Franjirrojos have only lost twice at home this season, drawing seven of their 13 home matches. Rayo will seek to complete a La Liga double over Levante, having defeated them 3-0 in the reverse fixture earlier this season. Levante holds a slight edge in the overall head-to-head record against Rayo, with 15 wins to the capital side’s 13, along with 11 draws. The Frogs secured a 4-2 victory over Rayo in the 2021-22 encounter and have won two of their last four meetings. For Levante, a win on Monday would significantly bolster their survival hopes, as they currently trail Elche by four points. Levante’s defensive struggles have been evident this season, with the team conceding 45 goals in 27 matches. However, they have picked up four points from their last two games, defeating Alaves and drawing with Girona. Three of their five league wins this season have come on the road, and they will be the fresher team heading into the match.#la_liga #conference_league #rayo_vallecano #inigo_perez #levante
Manuel Ángel sigue siendo objeto de interés de varios equipos grandes, entre ellos el Aston Villa, que lo ha seguido de cerca durante más de un año. Aunque el club inglés ha mostrado interés en el jugador del Real Madrid Castilla, conocido como "Mami", no se han formalizado conversaciones sobre su fichaje. El joven también fue considerado opción por el Levante en el mercado de verano de 2025, pero optó por permanecer en el Castilla para poder debutar con el primer equipo. Su debut en LaLiga llegó el 6 de marzo de 2026, en la jornada 27 contra el Celta de Vigo. Aunque entró en los minutos finales del partido, su participación fue clave al facilitar la jugada que culminó en el gol de Fede Valverde, que dio la victoria al Real Madrid. Esta ocasión fue más exitosa que su debut en la Copa del Rey el 16 de enero, donde el equipo fue eliminado de la competición, aunque el joven no tuvo responsabilidad en el resultado. Manuel Ángel se formó en las categorías inferiores del Real Madrid, llegando a La Fábrica en 2014 desde el Sevilla. A pesar de su potencial, su progreso ha estado interrumpido por lesiones, incluyendo problemas en la espalda y los isquios que le impidieron entrenar con Xabi Alonso en verano. Sin embargo, su consistencia le ha convertido en el jugador con más minutos disputados en el Castilla (2.119), lo que lo ha posicionado como capitán del equipo. Su estilo de juego destaca por su agilidad, capacidad para correr espacios y aprovechar los huecos defensivos. Además, es un jugador versátil que puede actuar en defensa, destacando por su inteligencia en el campo. Pertenece a la generación del Juvenil A que logró el triplete nacional (Liga, Copa y Copa de Campeones), lo que refleja su trayectoria exitosa en las categorías juveniles.#real_madrid #aston_villa #levante #fede_valverde #xabi_alonso
