Levante News
Levante head into this clash off the back of a 1-0 home victory over Getafe last time out in La Liga. They were made to work hard for the result and even missed a second-half penalty before Carlos Espi struck the winner seven minutes from time.
Although Levante remain second from bottom, they are now unbeaten in five of their last six matches and sit just four points from safety in the table. Luis Castro’s team have also claimed three wins and a draw from their last four La Liga home matches.
Espi has been at the heart of Levante's recent improvement and survival push, having scored seven goals in the last six matches. Granotas have also scored first in their last four home matches in the league.
Sevilla News
Sevilla are also coming off a victory, having claimed a 2-1 home win over Atletico Madrid in their previous La Liga fixture. Super Eagles striker Akor Adams struck the opener from the penalty spot for his eighth goal of the season, while Nemanja Gudelj grabbed the winner.
That was only the second win in 10 matches for Sevilla, who have found things difficult all season. It was enough to keep their head above water, with Luis Garcia Plaza’s team sitting just two points clear of the relegation zone.
One issue that still persists for Sevilla is their away form, having failed to win eight of their last nine matches on the road, suffering five defeats in this run. With top scorer Adams leading the line and Super Eagles teammate Chidera Ejuke also likely to feature, they will be hopeful of setting things right on Thursday.
Head to Head
Sevilla have 19 wins while Levante have picked up five victories, with seven draws in the last 31 matches. However, the hosts claimed a 3-0 away victory in the reverse fixture back in January.
Verdict
Levante v Sevilla
Levante have scored first in their last four home matches and should maintain their record of fast starts on Thursday. Espi has seven goals in the last six matches for the hosts, and that scoring run is expected to continue here.
Both teams are coming off wins in their previous La Liga fixtures, but have shown contrasting overall form lately. Levante are impressive at home and, given the result in the reverse fixture, should have the edge over Sevilla, who are poor on their travels.
