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
