Levante vs Villarreal | La Liga Preview & Betting Tips | 14 Dec 2025

Levante vs Villarreal — La Liga, 14 December 2025

A tough-looking La Liga fixture at the Ciutat de València, with Levante scrapping for points and Villarreal arriving in strong form.

🗞️ Introduction

Levante come into this one knowing every point matters. Results haven’t been kind lately, and confidence is fragile, but home support could still play a role in keeping them competitive.

Villarreal, meanwhile, are right in the mix near the top end of the table and travelling well domestically. Even with European commitments, they’ve shown an ability to control games and get the job done.

Expect a lively atmosphere, with Levante fans urging their side forward, while Villarreal look to quieten things early.

🔑 Tactical Trends

Levante average just 44% possession and tend to spend long spells without the ball, often defending deep and trying to nick moments on the break.

Villarreal are far more comfortable in control, averaging 56% possession and circulating the ball patiently until gaps appear.

The difference in xG numbers is telling: Villarreal create close to 1.8 xG per game, while Levante concede at a similar rate, which could spell trouble if pressure builds.

📋 Form

Levante’s last ten show two wins, one draw and seven defeats, with just over ten goals scored and 17 conceded. Clean sheets have been rare and games often drift away from them late on.

Villarreal are flying by comparison: seven wins and three defeats from their last ten, scoring almost 20 goals and conceding fewer than nine. Confidence is high.
