Sevilla vs Levante prediction, H2H and probable lineups - January 4, 2026
One of the matches of La Liga's 18th round takes place this Sunday at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium in Seville, where the home side Sevilla will host Levante. I’m offering a combined bet on this clash, which comes with a solid chance of success.
Match preview
Sevilla are trying to fight their way out of a difficult spell this season, but their progress has been modest so far. Their latest defeat to Real Madrid (0-2) only highlighted the side’s ongoing issues, especially in attack. Over the past 9 rounds, the team has managed just two wins and slipped to 10th place in the table, dangerously close to the relegation zone.
However, Sevilla do look a bit more confident at home. Their most recent victories and the majority of their goals have come on their own turf. Still, consistency remains elusive—the team alternates wins with losses, and defensive mistakes are a regular occurrence.
Levante are deep in crisis, as evidenced by an 8-match winless streak. Six of those games ended in defeat, and in the last round, they managed to snatch a draw against Real Sociedad only in the dying minutes. The only consolation for fans is a change at the helm: new head coach Luís Castro is expected to shake things up.
On the road, Levante tend to perform slightly better than at home and often battle until the final whistle. Despite their losses, the Valencian side rarely suffers heavy defeats—only once this season have they conceded more than two goals away, and that was against Atlético. The new coach will likely focus on a defense-first approach, banking on quick counterattacks and set pieces.
Probable lineups
- Sevilla: Vlachodimos, Carmona, Gudelj, Sanchez J., Parisi, Dodo, Suaso, Sow, Mendy, Agoume, Sanchez A., Romero
- Levante: Ryan, Toljan, Maturro, Vencedor, Della, Arriaga, Losada, Alvarez, Morales, Van den Arriaga, Varela
Match facts and head-to-head
- Sevilla have won 7 of their last 8 La Liga encounters with Levante.
- Levante have lost 6 of their last 8 league matches.
- In 6 of Levante’s last 7 La Liga games, they have conceded no more than 2 goals.
Prediction
Despite their inconsistency, Sevilla remain favorites against a Levante side that has yet to show signs of revival even after the coaching change. Still, the hosts are unlikely to run riot—problems with finishing and the absence of attacking leaders are evident. I expect a controlled, narrow win for the Andalusians.
