Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Segunda División match.
Levante are pushing for automatic promotion and currently sit second in the Segunda División standings. A win in this round could bring the team closer to top spot. Real Zaragoza, meanwhile, are battling to avoid relegation, but their recent form has been underwhelming. Both sides are in urgent need of points, though the hosts appear more convincing than their visitors.
Levante
Levante have been strong in the second half of the campaign and have climbed to second place in the league. Despite setbacks against Almería (0:1) and Córdoba (2:2), Levante have won six of their last eight outings. Offensively, they have been productive, registering 55 goals in 35 rounds—second only to Almería, who have scored 59. At home, Levante have lost just once all season, a 0:1 defeat to Ferriol, a match in which they dominated possession (70–30%) and shots (22–6).
Real Zaragoza
Real Zaragoza's form is worrying: just one win in their last 11 matches, and they have conceded at least once in nine of those games. The visitors have let in 49 goals this season and rank fifth from bottom in defensive reliability. The team remain close to the relegation zone and have lost even to direct rivals, such as a 2:4 defeat to Eldense. Squad issues continue to mount for Real Zaragoza, with Keidi Bar and Lluís López out injured and Kervin Arriaga suspended.
Levante vs Real Zaragoza Prediction
In the reverse fixture, Levante suffered a surprise 1:2 defeat, but now they have an excellent opportunity to take revenge. The hosts have been well-organised, particularly at home. Real Zaragoza rarely win and continue to struggle at the back. Levante are likely to claim another victory and strengthen their position in the automatic promotion places.
