Levante vs Sheffield United: Prediction, facts, betting tips and head-to-head – July 17, 2026
Levante and Sheffield United will face off in a pre-season friendly on Friday, July 17. Kick-off is scheduled for 14:00 CET, and here is my betting prediction for the match.
Levante vs Sheffield United: Match preview
Levante returned to La Liga last season and successfully secured their top-flight status for another year. The club finished 16th in the standings with 42 points from 38 matches. They are now preparing for the new campaign with a series of pre-season fixtures. The match against Sheffield United will be only their second of the summer. Levante defeated Leganés 2-1 a few days ago, with friendlies against Al-Qadsiah, Albacete, Villarreal, and Castellón still to come. Their 2026/27 La Liga campaign begins on August 16.
Sheffield United spent last season in the Championship following their relegation from the Premier League. It was a disappointing campaign, as the Blades finished 13th and never seriously challenged for promotion, ending the season 13 points behind the sixth-placed side. They are now preparing for another attempt to return to the Premier League. Sheffield United have already played two pre-season friendlies, with four more still to come. At the beginning of August, they will begin their EFL Cup campaign.
