In-depth Analysis
Espanyol enter Round 32 of La Liga under heavy pressure as they are desperately in need of points to turn their situation around. Since 22/12/2025, the Catalan side have been unable to secure a win, causing them to slide down to 12th place in the standings. From a top-four ambition, they are now only 4 points above the relegation zone, a very fragile gap.
Espanyol’s poor form is evident as they have lost 4 of their last 5 matches, scoring just 2 goals in that period. Even their home advantage offers little reassurance, as they rank only 16th in home performance.
On the other side, Levante are not an easy opponent. Despite sitting 19th with 32 points after 32 rounds, they have shown strong signs of revival with 3 wins in their last 4 matches. Notably, back-to-back victories over Getafe and Sevilla highlight the fighting spirit of Luis Castro’s team.
In head-to-head history, Espanyol still hold the advantage with 17 wins in 43 meetings. However, Levante are currently in better form, and with the first-leg ending 1-1, another draw between the two sides in this clash is a very realistic scenario.
