Prediction and odds analysis for Elche vs Levante at 00:30 on 30/08, La Liga 2025/26

Elche, coached by Eder Sarabia, started impressively in La Liga with two 1-1 draws against Real Betis and Atletico Madrid. In their last five matches across all competitions, they have 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss, scoring 7 goals and conceding 6. Wins against Hercules (1-0) and Almeria (1-0) in friendlies, along with two league draws, highlight their solid defense and ability to capitalize on chances. The equalizer by Rafa Mir against Atletico Madrid exemplifies Elche’s fighting spirit.

Elche’s squad includes quality newcomers like Federico Redondo, Andre Silva, and Alvaro Rodriguez, supported by German Valera and Rafa Mir leading the attack. Their home ground, where they have remained unbeaten in 7 of their last 10 matches across competitions, provides a strong foundation for their first win. However, their unfavorable head-to-head record (no wins against Levante since 2021) means caution is needed against Levante’s offensive style.

Led by Julian Calero, Levante started the season with two defeats against Alaves (1-2) and Barcelona (2-3). In their last five games, they have 1 win, 1 draw, and 3 losses, scoring 5 and conceding 7 goals. A bright spot was their 2-0 friendly win over Auxerre, but losses to Alaves, Barcelona, and Castellon (0-2) reveal defensive instability. Despite leading 2-0 against Barcelona, Levante lost due to second-half defensive lapses.

Levante boasts dangerous forwards Jose Luis Morales and Ivan Romero, yet their defense frequently falters. With survival as their goal, Levante needs points from matches like this, but poor away form (only 3 wins in their last 10 away games) and multiple injuries put them at a disadvantage. The match at Martinez Valero offers a chance to regain confidence, but defensive improvement is essential.

Head-to-head records show Levante has won 3 and drawn 2 of the last 5 encounters. The latest meeting in Segunda Division (May 2025) ended 3-1 in Levante’s favor. Still, with current form (Elche unbeaten, Levante losing consecutively) and home advantage, Elche has a good chance to secure points. Both teams scored in 4 of their last 5 matches, but defensive weaknesses (Elche conceded 6, Levante 7 goals in 5 matches) suggest a low-scoring draw is possible.
