Espanyol vs Levante
📖 The Preview
Levante head into this one looking the sharper side, and the numbers back that up. Their recent form reads better than Espanyol's patchy run, and with K. Garcia and J. Puado both sidelined through injury, Espanyol are carrying real gaps in their attacking options. Levante have the legs and the form to punish that. Espanyol will likely nick one back — this is a BTTS game after all — but Levante doing enough to take all three points on the road at 1-2 looks like the smart call here.
