- Barcelona have won all 3 of their last away matches.
- Levante have won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches.
- Both teams are expected to score on Saturday.
Barca on the march
With four wins and just one defeat from their first five matches of the season across all competitions, Barcelona have carried on from last season in fine fashion. After just a single game of LaLiga 2025-2026, Barca lead the table with an impressive three points.
Hans-Dieter Flick has made his mark on Barcelona’s style of play since taking over on May 29th 2024. Our Levante vs FC Barcelona prediction is impacted by the way Flick has tweaked Barca’s 4-3-3 formation into a much more proactive system than before, with relentless pressing and constant rotations in attack making them a tough team to play against.
Gavi has been a star in the first half of this campaign, with his assist helping Barca on their way to a 3-0 victory at Real Mallorca on the opening weekend. Ferran Torres scored once in that game and will lead the line for Barca again on Saturday, looking to maintain his early season momentum.
Levante look to bounce back
Levante have had a less fortunate start to the campaign, sitting 15th in LaLiga 2025-2026 after picking up zero points from their opening match. Julian Calero has been at the helm since July 1st 2024 and he will be disappointed with his side’s 2-1 defeat at Deportivo Alaves in their LaLiga opener.
Calero’s Levante have a preference for a 4-2-3-1 formation, packing the midfield and relying on their full-backs to push forward. A deep-lying defense is a key aspect of Levante’s tactical setup, but the team’s strengths lie in sitting deep and counterattacking when given space in wide areas. Jeremy Toljan has been a big threat for Levante so far and will look to get on the scoreboard again after scoring in their season opener. The Levante vs FC Barcelona preview suggests that Levante's counterattacking approach could pose challenges for Barca's defense.
Barcelona to dominate
Barcelona’s odds of 1.30 to win this match are very low, which makes them an unattractive bet. The Levante vs FC Barcelona betting tips also reflect that Levante are priced up at 10.40 for the win, which seems very generous considering Barca have won their only away game so far and scored three goals in the process.
Barcelona’s chances of winning the match are obviously very high, but Flick’s team could get caught out on the counterattack if they overcommit. I think both teams to score at 1.70 is a great price given the odds on the market and the attacking style that Barcelona will bring. Levante can break into this game when they’re on the ball and should be able to trouble Barca’s defense. This Levante vs FC Barcelona prediction highlights both sides’ strengths and what may decide the outcome.
