La Liga champions Barcelona will arrive at Estadio Ciutat de Valencia to face Levante in the top flight this Saturday evening. Blaugrana are top of the league standings, while Granotas are in 14th place after the first week. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Levante edged Elche by two points to win the Segunda Division title last season and return to the LaLiga for the first time since 2021-22, and like Los Franjiverdes, their main target will be surviving the drop.
However, the three teams that earned promotion to the top-flight last season all suffered defeats over the weekend in the opening round, but the Frogs were the only ones to score, doing so in a 2-1 defeat to Alaves.
Notably, despite winning the second-tier title last season, Levante only managed the fifth-best home record in the division, taking 46 points from 21 games (W13 D7 L1).
Meanwhile, Barcelona enjoyed a stunning 2024-25 season, clinching a domestic treble (La Liga, Copa del Rey and Super Cup) while also reaching the semi-final of the UEFA Champions League.
Blaugrana kicked off their new season with a commanding 3-0 victory over Mallorca last week and have now scored two or more goals in each of their last six matches on either side of the summer break.
Barcelona are unbeaten in their last 12 league away games (W9 D3) dating back to November 2024. They also scored two or more goals in 10 matches during this period.
