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 1.00 PPG across 10 La Liga outings this season: 2W 4D 4L. Last five: D D W L L. Offensively they are averaging 1.60 goals per game, with 1.80 conceded. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. This season is still relatively young for Levante, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Levante's form when playing at home: 7W 1D 2L across 10 games at this term (2.20 PPG). They are averaging 2.50 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture. Their home PPG of 2.20 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.00 — Levante are significantly better at than their overall form suggests.

Elche (all games): 2W 3D 5L across 10 La Liga outings this term — 0.90 points per game. Last five: W D D W L. Their scoring rate of 1.30 per game is modest, conceding 1.70 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. This season is still relatively young for Elche, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Elche away from home this season: 3W 4D 3L from 10 away games — 1.30 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.50 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.

A near-identical PPG reading — 1.00 for Levante, 0.90 for Elche — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.

In terms of goals, both squads have been finding the net consistently (using home/away splits) — Levante have seen both teams score in 60% of their games, Elche in 80%. That combined rate is a strong statistical case for BTTS Yes as a standalone play.

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 (49 games, 24 at home): they score before half-time in 71% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 71% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games); they fail to score in 33% of games.

Elche half-time and goal-timing data (49 games, 24 at away): they score before half-time in 67% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 78% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 79% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 41%.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Levante 53% and Elche 67% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Levante 49% | Elche 57%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Levante 1.62 xG and Elche 1.77 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 1.277 / defence 1.257 | Elche attack 1.129 / defence 0.787. League average goals — home 1.611 / away 1.245. Levante carry an above-average attack strength of 1.277 — their λ of 1.62 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Elche's defence strength of 0.787 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Data: 49 Levante games / 49 Elche games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Levante 35% | Draw 25% | Elche 41%. Fair-value odds: Levante 2.86 | Draw 4.00 | Elche 2.44. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 25% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 66% | BTTS probability 67% | Total xG 3.38. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 66% — a total xG of 3.38 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 67% reflects that both xG figures (1.62 / 1.77) 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 Elche at 41% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Elche if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.38 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 66% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.4 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.0 goals per meeting.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 67% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Levante 60% | Elche 80% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
