Valencia vs Levante Prediction: Stalemate in this relegation six-pointer

There is a huge six-pointer taking place in La Liga on Friday (20:00 GMT, Premier Sports 1) as Valencia take on rivals Levante. The hosts currently find themselves one place above the relegation zone on goal difference, while the visitors are one point behind them.

Below you will find my Valencia vs Levante predictions, aided by the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Valencia are going to be without the services of the versatile Mouctar Diakhaby owing to a hamstring issue, while Dimitri Foulquier (unspecified) and Filip Ugrinic (knee) also remain doubts for this clash.

Former Leeds United man Largie Ramazani will need to be assessed ahead of the game, having missed the team's last five games due to a muscular problem which he has been struggling to shake off.

Head coach Carlos Corberan could consider adding Hugo Duro to the final third of the field to add some firepower in this crunch clash. The attacker has equally started and been brought on from the bench six times in La Liga in 2025/26. He has just three goals to date, however.

Football Odds

Pablo Martinez remains on the sidelines due to an ankle problem for Levante. Unai Vencedor is set to return after serving a suspension in the defeat to Atletico Madrid last time out.

Ivan Romero was back on the bench for that contest after recovering from an injury, and the striker should could partner Karl Etta Eyong in the final third of the field.

Eyong's future remains the subject of much speculation, with many clubs across Europe reportedly keeping tabs on him ahead of the January transfer window.

Valencia vs Levante Odds

Valencia are 11/10 to come out on top on Friday, but they have won just two of their six home games in the top flight.

They have also drawn twice on home turf, which is the same number of stalemates Levante have experienced on their travels. The draw is valued at 12/5, which has an implied probability of 29.4%.

Levante are 5/2 to come away with the three points, which they have managed twice on their travels.

Match Result - Draw @ 12/5

Both these teams have been very disappointing in the first few months of the campaign and the fear of relegation is real for both of them. Valencia boss Corberan's position has been under threat for a number of weeks and if he were to be dismissed, it would get the tails wagging of West Bromwich Albion supporters, with some pining for the Spaniard to return to the West Midlands.

He remains in charge of Valencia for now and this is a game in which he simply cannot afford to lose if he wishes to remain in charge of his boyhood club. Victories have been very hard to come by for him and his players this term so I wouldn't be confident in backing them to win here.

They are winless in seven and I think the best they can manage here is a draw. This was the outcome last time out against Real Betis, which was a strong result on paper. Levante have tended to perform better on the road but again they are also not looking good enough to earn my favour.

The stalemate looks the smartest play on Friday.

Both Teams To Score - Yes @ 8/11

With both sides having some of the worst defensive records in the division - with Valencia conceding 21 goals to Levante's 23 - backing both teams to score - Yes looks like a valuable pick for this contest.

This has been a successful bet in eight of Levante's 12 La Liga outings so far this season, including four of their seven away trips. For Valencia, there have been goals at both ends in three of their six home matches in the top flight.

Additionally, this fixture has seen BTTS - Yes land in nine of the previous 10 league meetings.
