Sevilla vs Levante

Sevilla will play host to out-of-sorts Levante at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, looking to solidify their spot in the top-four race.

Sevilla put a narrow 1-0 away defeat to Granada behind on the back of the international break with a similar road triumph over Celta Vigo to maintain an eye-catching La Liga start (W5, D2, L1). Julen Lopetegui’s men have developed into a force to be reckoned with at home this term, winning all three La Liga fixtures at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan by at least a two-goal margin. Lopetegui has based his side’s on a water-tight defense that has conceded just a single La Liga goal at home this season. Topically, ‘Los Rojiblancos’ are unbeaten in their last six top-flight meetings with Levante (W5, D1), registering four clean sheets in the process. After winning five consecutive league home matches, Sevilla could make it six in a row for the first time since December 2018.

On the other hand, Levante brought a disappointing three-game losing La Liga streak to a halt with a goalless home draw with Getafe last time out. However, the visitors head into proceedings rooted to the relegation zone as one of only two La Liga teams yet to pick up a single league victory this term (D5, L4). A lack of firepower up top has seen Levante draw a blank in three of their five top-flight away matches this season, scoring precisely once per game in the other two (D2, L3). Taking the 2020/21 season into account, Levante are on a run of 17 La Liga fixtures without a win (D8, L9), their longest winless streak in top-flight history. Having failed to score in each of their last four La Liga outings, the Granota outfit could draw a blank in five straight top-flight games for the first time since September 2014.
