Full Analysis

plays host to Levante versus Elche in La Liga, Regular Season - 13. Kick-off: Sunday 22 November 2026 at 16:00 UTC.

Form & Momentum

Levante have collected 1.70 PPG across 10 La Liga outings this season: 5W 2D 3L. Last five: W L L D W. Offensively they are averaging 1.70 goals per game, with 1.60 conceded. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. Levante have played only a handful of La Liga games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Levante's form when playing at home: 7W 1D 2L across 10 games at this term (2.20 PPG). They are averaging 2.00 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 4 home clean sheets from 10 games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. Their home PPG of 2.20 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.70 — Levante are significantly better at than their overall form suggests.

Elche (all games): 3W 3D 4L across 10 La Liga outings this term — 1.20 points per game. Last five: W D D L L. Their scoring rate of 1.30 per game is modest, conceding 1.90 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches this season — one of the stronger BTTS rates in the division, making Yes a well-evidenced play. Elche have played only a handful of La Liga games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Elche away from home this season: 1W 2D 7L from 10 away games — 0.50 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.10 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 90% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 0.50 is notably below their overall 1.20 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.

The points-per-game gap of 0.50 in Levante's favour (1.70 vs 1.20) is a statistically meaningful difference. The hosts are the form pick here, with draw protection the sensible hedge given the away side's competitiveness.

H2H History

Form and model data should carry more weight here — the historical record is too balanced to provide a directional steer. From 4 meetings: Levante 2W, Elche 1W, 1D.

These two sides have produced goals at a consistent rate historically, averaging 3.0 per game across 4 meetings. That scoring profile provides genuine support for the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent clash, on 23 Jan 2026, ended 3–2 with Levante winning.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 3.0 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.

Trading

Levante half-time and goal-timing data (41 games, 20 at home): they score before half-time in 65% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 55% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 45% of games (home games); they fail to score in 34% of games.

Elche half-time and goal-timing data (41 games, 20 at away): they score before half-time in 70% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 86% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 57% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 85% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 65% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 42%.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Levante 49% versus Elche 71%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Levante 46% | Elche 58%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Levante 2.42 xG and Elche 1.23 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Levante attack 1.340 / defence 1.064 | Elche attack 1.016 / defence 1.121. League average goals — home 1.609 / away 1.138. Levante carry an above-average attack strength of 1.340 — their λ of 2.42 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Data: 41 Levante games / 41 Elche games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Levante 64% | Draw 18% | Elche 18%. Fair-value odds: Levante 1.56 | Draw 5.56 | Elche 5.56. The model has a clear lean to Levante (64%) — a 46pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 71% | BTTS probability 64% | Total xG 3.65. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 71% — a total xG of 3.65 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 64% reflects that both xG figures (2.42 / 1.23) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Levante at 64% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 18% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 3.65 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 71% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.0 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.0 goals per meeting.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 64% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Levante 40% | Elche 90% BTTS from recent games.
