Barcelona vs. Levante Predictions and Preview
Barcelona have recovered form after winning just three La Liga games in nine attempts by winning 17 of their last 21, including a 2-0 win over Alaves last time out.
They have kept 14 clean sheets in their last 21 matches as they have reinforced their chances of winning a fourth La Liga title in five seasons and are now nine points clear of Atletico Madrid at the top of La Liga – a win here clinches the title.
Levante moved away from relegation trouble with a crucial 4-0 win over Real Betis on Wednesday night, ending a nine-game winless run for Paco Lopez’s side.
Unsurprisingly, the hosts are heavy favourites for this encounter at odds of 1/4 with a Levante victory priced at 9/1 and the draw available at 11/2.
This fixture tends to produce lots of goals with 20 flying in across the last four meetings, so over 4.5 goals at 9/4 appears to be a solid bet with over 5.5 at 9/2.
A ‘double chance’ on Levante to come away with either a draw or a win is available at 11/4 while a Barca win/draw outcome is at 1/25.
If you fancy the home side to be leading at both half-time and at the final whistle, such odds are available at 4/6 while Barca to win both halves is at 7/5.
