Match Analysis
Levante host Valencia at in La Liga, Regular Season - 18. Kick-off is scheduled for Sunday 3 January 2027 at 16:00 UTC.
Form Guide
Levante — All Games: 2W 4D 4L from 10 La Liga outings this season, averaging 1.00 points per game. Last five: D L L D D. Offensively they are averaging 1.50 goals per game, with 1.80 conceded. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 60% 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.
In front of their own supporters this season, Levante have posted 7W 2D 1L at — 2.30 PPG. They are averaging 2.50 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. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture. Their home PPG of 2.30 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.00 — Levante are significantly better at than their overall form suggests.
Across all La Liga games this season, Valencia have recorded 2W 3D 5L from 10 outings — 0.90 PPG. Last five: L W L D D. Their scoring rate of 0.90 per game is modest, conceding 1.60 — 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 Valencia, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Valencia away from home this season: 4W 2D 4L from 10 away games — 1.40 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.20 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game.
The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Levante 1.00 PPG, Valencia 0.90 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
H2H Record
The previous 4 encounters between these sides heavily favour Valencia, who boast 3 victories compared to 0 for Levante.
Goals have been a feature of this fixture. The last 4 meetings have averaged 3.0 per game — a rate that gives the Over 2.5 market a solid historical foundation. The most recent clash, on 15 Feb 2026, ended 0–2 with Valencia winning.
The H2H provides genuine backing for the away side. Valencia have won 3 of 4 previous encounters, and at 3.0 goals per game, the goals market also points upward. The away win and Over 2.5 combination has a historical case worth noting.
In-Play Profile
Levante in-play tendencies (46 games, 22 at home): they score before half-time in 68% 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 59% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games); they fail to score in 33% of games.
Valencia in-play tendencies (46 games, 22 at away): they score before half-time in 64% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 86% of the time; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games); they fail to score in 30% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Levante 52% versus Valencia 50%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Levante 48% | Valencia 44%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Levante 2.14 xG and Valencia 1.46 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 1.397 / defence 1.269 | Valencia attack 0.919 / defence 0.950. League average goals — home 1.611 / away 1.254. Levante carry an above-average attack strength of 1.397 — their λ of 2.14 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Data: 46 Levante games / 47 Valencia games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Levante 52% | Draw 23% | Valencia 25%. Fair-value odds: Levante 1.92 | Draw 4.35 | Valencia 4.00. Levante hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 70% | BTTS probability 69% | Total xG 3.60. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 70% — a total xG of 3.60 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 69% reflects that both xG figures (2.14 / 1.46) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
Analysis Verdict
On the Poisson output, Levante are the pick at 52% — moderate model lean. With a 23% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Levante offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
On the goals line, Poisson's 3.60 combined xG gives a 70% probability to Over 2.5 — strong, supported by form averaging 3.1 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.0 goals per meeting.
Poisson assigns a 69% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Levante 60% | Valencia 40%.
