Levante vs Barcelona — Tips & Analysis

Over 3.5: This game has produced goals for years. The last 20 meetings had 4 goals in them on average, and the last five finished 0-3, 2-3, 2-3, 0-3 and 3-3. Barcelona are the main reason. They are top of the table, they have won their last five games, and they score almost 3 goals a game. Their last two league trips finished 5-0 at Valencia and 5-0 at Elche, so they do not stop at one or two. Levante are not the sort of side to shut the door either. They let in more than a goal a game, and they have been beaten by 2 or more in 3 of their last 14. What keeps them in this is their own scoring at home. They have won all six home games in this run, scoring almost 3 goals a game, including a 5-2 against Real Betis. Both boxes should be busy. Our read is a 1-3 Barcelona win. Levante get on the board like they usually do against this lot, and Barcelona take it comfortably. That is enough for us. The catch is that Levante are without top scorer Etta Eyong, and Barcelona let in under a goal a game. A 2-0 away win would leave us short. We still expect a high scoring night.
