Espanyol vs Levante Preview

The RCDE Stadium stages a Monday night La Liga fixture with genuine consequences at both ends of the table as Espanyol host Levante. The home side are in wretched form and desperate to arrest a slide that has seen them drop deep into mid-table danger, while Levante arrive fighting for their top-flight lives with every point now critical in a relegation battle that is far from resolved.

Espanyol’s recent run has been deeply alarming for a club with aspirations of finishing comfortably in the top half. Their most recent outing was a chastening 4-1 away defeat at Barcelona — a derby result that will have stung supporters even if the gulf between the two sides on current form made it difficult to argue with. Prior to that, a 0-0 away draw at Betis represented a hard-fought point on the road, though a side in Espanyol’s current position needs wins rather than draws. Before that came a damaging 1-2 home defeat to Getafe — a result that was particularly difficult to accept given Getafe’s own mid-table mediocrity — a loss on home soil that highlighted just how much Espanyol are struggling to impose themselves. Earlier in this run came another away defeat, a 2-1 loss at Mallorca. The oldest result here was a 1-1 home draw with Oviedo. Zero wins from five, three defeats and two draws — this is a run that demands an immediate response, and Monday night provides the opportunity to deliver one in front of their own supporters.

Levante’s situation is even more urgent — they are in the relegation zone and every fixture from here to the end of the season carries the weight of their top-flight survival. Their most recent outing was a morale-boosting 1-0 home win over Getafe — a clean sheet and three points that was exactly what their campaign needed at this stage. Prior to that, they were beaten 2-0 away at Real Sociedad, a result that reinforced the difficulty of their position. Before that came one of their best displays of recent weeks — a 4-2 home win over Oviedo, a high-scoring performance that demonstrated their attacking capabilities when confidence is flowing. Earlier in this run, they drew 1-1 away at Rayo Vallecano — a point on a difficult ground. The oldest result here was a 1-1 home draw with Girona. Two wins and two draws from the last five is a decent enough return, but given where they sit, wins are the only currency that matters now.

The head-to-head record strongly favours Espanyol, who have won three of the last five meetings, with two draws and no wins for Levante. Most recently, the sides drew 1-1 when Levante hosted them at the Estadio Ciutat de Valencia in January. In the previous encounter — in the second division — Espanyol claimed a 2-1 home win at the RCDE Stadium, a result that continued a long-standing pattern of dominance in this fixture.

Espanyol sit 12th in La Liga on 38 points from 31 games. Three points on Monday would take them to 41 — matching Athletic Club in ninth and, depending on the scoreline’s effect on goal difference, potentially moving them into the top nine. Levante are 19th on 29 points from 31 games, five points adrift of safety with Sevilla in 17th on 34 points. A win closes that gap to two points — still very much alive, but with the games running out fast.

In Spain, the match is live on Movistar+ and LaLiga TV Bar HD. In the United Kingdom, viewers can watch on Premier Sports 1. In the United States, the game is available on ESPN Deportes and fuboTV.
