Preview: Sevilla vs Levante - prediction, team news, lineups

Levante's search for their first La Liga win since the start of October will continue on Sunday afternoon, when they make the trip to Estadio Ramon to tackle Sevilla.

Match preview

Sevilla have a record of six wins, two draws and nine defeats from their 17 league matches this season, with a total of 20 points leaving them in 10th spot in the division.

Los Nervionenses entered the winter break in Spain off the back of a 2-0 loss to Real Madrid, and they were also beaten by Alaves in the Copa del Rey on December 17, so the hosts will enter this match off the back of successive defeats.

Matias Almeyda's side are only actually three points behind seventh-placed Celta Vigo, while they sit five points outside of the relegation zone.

Sevilla's home form this season has been disappointing, losing four of their eight matches, while Levante have been much better away from their own stadium this term, claiming eight of their 10 points on their travels.

Los Nervionenses have actually won their last four matches against Levante, including a 3-2 victory when the pair last locked horns in April 2022.

Levante have lost eight of their last nine matches against Sevilla, with their last victory in this fixture coming back in April 2018.

The Frogs are the reigning Segunda Division champions, and they started the current season well, but it has been a struggle in recent months, with only 10 points from 16 matches leaving them at the bottom of the division.

Luis Castro was appointed head coach of Levante on December 20, with the 45-year-old arriving off the back of a short spell with Nantes.

Levante have not found it difficult to score goals this season, having netted 17 times in their 16 matches, but it has been a struggle down the other end of the field, conceding 29, which is the second-worst defensive record in the division.

The Frogs, as mentioned, have been much better on their travels this season, and they will be looking to record a first away win over Sevilla since January 2014.
