At the Estadio Ciutat de València on 23 January 2026, Levante host Elche in a La Liga fixture defined by mirrored weaknesses. Levante remain winless at home, while Elche are still searching for their first away victory of the season. With both sides struggling to turn familiarity into advantage, the matchup leans more toward caution and balance than outright dominance.
Prediction: Double Chance – 1X
The double chance in favour of Levante reflects the difficulty Elche have experienced away from home. While Levante have not converted home performances into wins, they have been competitive enough to avoid defeat more often than not. Against a team that struggles on the road, Levante’s chances of at least a point look solid.
Levante Competitive, but Still Fragile
Levante’s home matches rarely lack effort, but defensive stability has been a persistent problem. Conceding regularly has prevented them from building momentum, even when performances improve. Still, recent draws suggest greater resilience and a capacity to stay in games. Against an opponent with limited away confidence, Levante may not need to be exceptional to avoid defeat.
Elche Inconsistent Away from Home
Elche continue to perform respectably overall, remaining in the top half of the table, but their away record is a clear weakness. They have yet to win on the road in La Liga and have not kept a single away clean sheet. The recent 2-2 draw with Sevilla, after surrendering a two-goal lead, marked their fourth consecutive match with goals at both ends and highlighted ongoing defensive lapses. Away from home, those issues are even harder to manage.
