Levante – Elche: a derby at the Ciutat de València 
Friday night Levante host Elche in a game that matters — just for different reasons. Levante are scrambling to avoid the drop in LaLiga. Elche, newly promoted, are looking up the table and they’re not pretending otherwise.
Levante — ongoing crisis 
Levante’s situation is precarious. Nineteenth with 14 points from 19 games, the Granotas are on a knife edge. Relegation is looming, even if the gap to 17th still looks reachable.
The issue has been clear for a while: the defence. Thirty-two goals conceded — one of the worst tallies in the league — and the leaks keep coming. At home it’s worse: one win, three points from eight matches and 18 goals shipped in front of their own fans.
Not everything is hopeless. Levante score more than most teams near the bottom and can cause problems — a recent run of four games with only one defeat shows that. But they have no margin for error.
Elche — ambition and frustration 
Elche are enjoying a much calmer season. Eighth after 20 games, the promoted side have settled into mid-table and, believe it or not, have one eye on Europe. The gap to the top six is big, but not unreachable.
Their paradox? Two faces. At home they’re solid, almost reliable. Away from home it’s a mess: no wins in nine trips, five defeats and too many dropped points.
The draw with Sevilla last time out summed them up: a serious team, but not yet complete. Able to compete, not always able to finish the job on the road.
A tight game in prospect
The first meeting went Elche’s way, but this clash has a different feel. Levante are fighting for survival, Elche travel poorly, and both sides may prioritise not losing.
When that happens, the stakes outrun the spectacle. Little space, tons of duels, and cautious game management.
Football Tip Levante vs Elche
Both teams to fail to score
Elche look more balanced across the season, but their away struggles and Levante’s urgent need for points point to a closed match with few clear chances.

First, a word on our tips
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. It’s our take — a snapshot of the moment — not a guarantee. Sport is unpredictable: a red card, an injury, a freak goal and the whole script can flip.
- Let’s be blunt: there’s no risk-free bet. Even the “obvious” ones aren’t. Yes, you can lose. You will, sooner or later.
- Best approach: be sensible. Stake small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — it rarely ends well.
- A bet should stay entertainment, not a job or a source of income. If it’s taking over your life, step back. If needed, talk to a specialist organisation — that’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, responsibility lies with you. Reading our content means you accept the risk exists and that it won’t disappear, even with the best analysis.
- Important reminder: gambling is forbidden to minors and must comply with your local laws. Betting can quickly spiral (financial losses, family tensions, addiction). Need help? Players Info Service: 09 74 75 13 13 (non-premium rate) https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our tips aren’t contracts. They carry no legal weight. In plain terms: you can’t use them to make a legal claim if a bet loses.
Information can change
A tip is based on what we know when we write it. Between then and kick-off a line-up can change, a player can get injured, or the weather can turn — and the analysis can become outdated rapidly. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before you bet, check that gambling is legal where you live. If it isn’t, that’s on you, not us.
Responsible gambling first
We’ll say it again: play in moderation. If you struggle to control your gambling, seek help. We can’t be responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the information on this site.
Legal age
Mathodds content is intended for adults only. By using this site you confirm you are of the legal age required to gamble.
