The match of the 18th round of the La Liga between Sevilla and Levante will take place on january 4 at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium. Sevilla vs Levante: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Sevilla
Sevilla failed to extend a short two-match unbeaten run in the La Liga (1 win, 1 draw); the last meeting ended for the club with a defeat to Real Madrid (0:2). Now Sevilla have only 2 wins in the last 9 league rounds — during that stretch the side accumulated a total of 7 points, fewer only than Oviedo (5) and Levante (2). It is worth noting that both successful matches were at home. In the standings Sevilla have slipped to 10th place, while the gap from the relegation zone is only 5 points.
- The club conceded in 8 of its previous 10 La Liga matches.
- Sevilla have a six-match home uncompromising sequence in the La Liga (3 wins, 3 losses).
- The team scored in 7 of its last 8 home matches in the Spanish championship.
Potential Sevilla Lineup (5-3-2)*
Odysseas Vlachodimos – Nemanja Gudelj, Marcao, José Carmona, Juanlu Sánchez, Gabriel Suazo – Batista Mendy, Jibril Sow, Lucien Agoumé – Alexis Sánchez, Isaac Romero.
Forwards Akor Adams and Chidera Ejuke will not be available due to participation in the Africa Cup of Nations. First-choice defender Marcao is serving a suspension.
Levante
In the previous round the team snatched a draw in the dying moments against Real Sociedad (1:1). On the one hand, even that result can be considered fortunate, since Levante finally picked up at least 1 point after 5 consecutive defeats. However, the club's winless run in the La Liga now stretches to 8 matches (2 draws, 6 defeats). It should be noted that during this period Levante failed to keep a clean sheet even once. Without wins, the team still sits bottom of the table. New head coach Luis Manuel Castro will try to rescue Levante. The Portuguese specialist moved to Spain nine days after being dismissed from Nantes.
- This season in the La Liga Levante have conceded 29 goals in total; only Girona (33) are worse in this metric.
- At least 2 goals were scored in 37 of Levante's last 38 matches in this competition.
- The team won with a +1.5 handicap in 5 of their previous 7 away La Liga matches.
Potential Levante Lineup (4-2-3-1)*
Mathew Ryan – Jérémy Toljan, Adri, Matias Moreno, Manu Sanchez – Unai Vencedor, Kervin Arriaga – Carlos Álvarez Rivera, Víctor García, Pablo Martínez – Ivan Romero.
Defender Manu Sanchez is suspended, while forward Carl Etta-Eyong is at the Africa Cup of Nations. Defender Unai Elgezabal and forwards Roger Brugué and Godwijn Koyalipu are unavailable due to injuries.

Sevilla Vs Levante: Match Prediction
Sevilla sit in 10th place, but a number of rivals are closing in below. To avoid slipping into the lower part of the table, Matias Almeyda's side urgently need to collect points. At this moment the club has been fortunate with the upcoming opponent. Sevilla are unbeaten in 8 head-to-head La Liga meetings, and 7 of those 8 matches ended in victories. The team has often displayed high scoring, but there are currently problems in attack. Over the last 9 rounds Sevilla averaged 1 goal per match. Reaching the 3-goal mark, even at home, has happened in only 2 of their last 29 La Liga matches.
Levante remain in crisis: during the current eight-match winless La Liga run the club suffered 6 defeats. However, despite the psychological hole and the difficult position in the table, Levante rarely allow themselves to capitulate completely at the back. In 6 of their previous 7 La Liga matches the team conceded no more than 2 goals. Away this season in the La Liga Levante have managed only 2 wins and suffered 5 defeats in 9 matches, while conceding more than 2 goals occurred only in the match against Atletico Madrid (1:3).
Prediction: 1X + Sevilla, under 2.5 goals
* For each team the starting lineup listed is from their previous match in this competition.
