Sevilla open the new year at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán against bottom-placed Levante, aiming to start 2026 with a convincing home performance.
Prediction: 2-0
This matchup points toward a controlled home victory. Sevilla’s stronger quality and Levante’s ongoing struggles suggest a clear, but not excessive, win for the hosts.
Sevilla Solid but Inconsistent
Sevilla closed 2025 with a 0-2 away defeat to Real Madrid, finishing the year in 10th place. Their season so far has been marked by fluctuations, with some strong performances but not enough consistency to push higher in the standings. At home, Sevilla have recorded three league wins, including a convincing 4-0 victory over fellow strugglers Oviedo. However, a curious pattern has emerged, as each home win has been followed by a home defeat. Still, against teams from the relegation zone, Sevilla have generally looked comfortable and dominant.
Levante Still Searching for Stability
Levante begin 2026 rooted to the bottom of the table, even though they have a game in hand. A new coach recently took charge and made his debut with a respectable 1-1 home draw against Real Sociedad, which at least halted a run of five consecutive league defeats. Away from home, Levante have actually collected more points, recording their only two wins of the season as guests. Nevertheless, overall confidence remains low, and structural problems are still evident.
