Levante vs Barcelona Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | LaLiga 2025-26

The Blaugrana came out on top when these sides last met.

Levante UD are ready to host Barcelona in the matchweek 2 fixture of the 2025-26 LaLiga season. This is going to be an interesting encounter between the two clubs and will take place at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia.

Despite being at home, Levante will be under pressure. They are coming in after losing their opening LaLiga 2025-26 game against Deportivo Alaves. It was a close game for them, but they conceded a goal in the dying moments of the match and lost the game by 1-2. For their upcoming game, they will face the defending champions of the Spanish first division.

FC Barcelona are off to a positive start to their new season. They secured a 3-0 win against Mallorca in what looked like a one-sided contest. The Hansi Flick-led side dominated the proceedings from the start and secured an easy win despite being away from home. Barca will be away from home during their next fixture as well, but will be feeling confident here.

Players to Watch

Ivan Romero (Levante)

Ivan Romero was one of Levante’s most consistent players during their 2024-25 season. Even though he failed to score a goal in the previous game for his side, Romero is going to play a crucial part in helping his side in the final third. He will be looking to step up here.

Lamine Yamal (Barcelona)

Lamine Yamal delivered another sweet performance for FCB as the young Spaniard secured a late goal and also bagged an assist, which helped his side begin their LaLiga title defence on a positive note. Leading the attack from the right, Yamal will yet again go to trouble the opponent’s defence.
