Valencia vs Levante Prediction 22 November 2025

🔈 What outcome awaits the clash between the two bottom-table contenders? The opening match of the 13th round of La Liga will see Valencia face off against Levante at the Mestalla. Both clubs find themselves in a tough spot, fighting to maintain their status in the top flight. The "Bats," after a strong finish last season and an ambitious start to this one, have stalled—failing to secure a win in their last seven fixtures. The "Frogs" are in a similar predicament—a challenging schedule and the poor form of several key players have dropped them to 19th place in the standings. Bookmakers slightly favor the home side, banking on the individual skills of certain players and the club's experience in Spain's elite division.

Head-to-Head

📊 The Mestalla is a venue Levante would rather avoid, having secured just one victory there in their entire head-to-head history against Valencia. That solitary triumph came way back in 1949, during the first round of the Copa del Rey, when the "Frogs" edged out a 1-0 win. Looking at the average scoring rate over their last 10 encounters: Valencia average 2.3 goals, while Levante manage 1.5.

Valencia Team Overview

🟠 The "Bats" have managed just two wins in the current La Liga campaign. A lack of clear strategy from the club's management and uncertainties with the squad are direct reasons for their current predicament. Valencia currently sit in 17th place in the standings with a tally of 10 points. Their struggles in front of goal are evident, averaging just 0.92 goals per game. Similarly, their defensive efficiency is lacking, conceding an average of 1.75 goals per match.

📌 In the last round of La Liga, Valencia managed to take points off a red-hot Real Betis (1-1). Despite the criticism directed at the club from the city that shares its name, they played more than respectably in this encounter. Through compact and organized positioning on the field, the "Oranges" minimized the attacking threat of the "Green-and-Whites" and maximized their own potential when transitioning from defense to attack. Valencia's main tactical issue remains the development of positional attacks in the opponent's half— a lack of skilled creators impacts this significantly.

Levante UD Team Overview

🔵 "The Frogs" find themselves in a challenging situation, having failed to secure a victory in their last four matches. Currently, the Valencia-based club sits at 19th in the league standings. It's worth noting the high offensive efficiency of Julián Calero's squad, scoring around 1.33 goals per game, which is the best among teams in the lower half of the table. However, their defense is a major weakness, conceding an average of 1.92 goals per match. Interestingly, Levante have picked up most of their points (8 out of 9) in away games.

🔴 Julián Calero is a pragmatic coach who doesn't shy away from implementing a proactive style of play for his team. Despite employing a 4-4-2 formation, "The Frogs" excel in transitional phases and frequently capitalize on their counterattacking opportunities. A standout player is their summer signing, Ette Eyong. The 22-year-old Cameroonian forward has seamlessly integrated into the tactical setup of the Valencia club and has fully adapted to the pace of La Liga. So far, he has scored 5 goals and provided 1 assist for Levante in this season's top-tier Spanish competition.

Valencia

🎤 Ahead of the intriguing Valencia derby, one of Valencia's key players, Pepelu, spoke to journalists: “We are eagerly anticipating the match. It's a special game for me and for the city. We hope it's going to be a great day. The match will be intense. Levante are a good team and they play very well. A derby is a derby; these are different kinds of matches. We need to know how to handle it and make the most of our strengths. After the last match against Betis, the team has come closer to playing as well as we should, and this break has only made us more eager to continue in the same vein. As a team, we can utilize different tactical options, and recently we've tried something new. Corberán always tries to 'find the key,' and this time he succeeded.”

❌ Among Valencia's injured players are Mouctar Diakhaby (hamstring injury) and Largie Ramazani (muscle injury). There are also doubts regarding the participation of Dimitri Foulquier (knee injury) and Filip Ugrinic (knee injury) in the upcoming derby.

Levante UD

🎤 During the pre-match press conference, Carlos Alvarez shared his expectations for the upcoming game: "The team has returned with a strong desire to get back on the winning track, to compete in every match, and to edge closer to securing as many points as possible. We want to start doing that this week. We've collected fewer points than we could have, but we need to keep working with the same spirit, keep fighting, and I'm confident that the missing points will eventually come our way. When I went for a walk and met someone, people stopped us and said we must win. This has been a great motivation for us. We'll harness everyone's motivation and do everything we can. Hopefully, we can secure the victory."

❌ Valencia's club currently has Carlos Espi (hamstring injury) and Pablo Martinez (ankle injury) in the treatment room.

⚽ Goal Prediction

⚽ Goal Prediction

Levante's daring and sometimes reckless style of play is a key factor in their high-scoring matches. In 5 out of their last 6 games, at least 3 goals have been scored. It's also worth noting the average number of goals conceded by each side in this season's La Liga: Valencia with 1.8 and Levante with 1.9. This data points to a strong likelihood of both teams finding the back of the net. Our pick – both teams to score (yes).

🚩 Corner Prediction

We suggest placing a bet based on current statistical trends. In 6 of Valencia's last 7 matches, there have been no more than 10 corner kicks. The same trend is evident in the last 6 head-to-head encounters between these teams. We anticipate a tactical battle in the upcoming derby, rather than chaotic play. We'll go with the following bet – total corners under 9.5.

The upcoming "Valencian derby" promises to be highly intriguing, not just due to the match's status but also considering the current form of both teams. Unconvincing performances compel the "Oranges" and the "Frogs" to be proactive and make every effort to fully unleash their attacking potential. We anticipate a high-scoring encounter with a final score of 2-2. The key prediction is both teams to score (yes).
