Levante UD at Real Valladolid 1/26/21 - Copa del Rey Picks & Predictions
Levante and Valladolid met just a few days ago in the La Liga but will now lock horns once again, as the match-up is reversed in the Copa Del Rey round of 16. Valladolid will now play host to Levante and the two teams will fight for a spot in the quarter-finals of the competition.
Valladolid came back from one goal behind to take the lead on the road against Levante, but conceded another goal and settled for the 2-2 draw. They have actually been in pretty solid form lately, losing just one of their last seven matches in all competitions (1-1-5). Three of those draws came with the exact 2-2 correct final score, and the other four matches went Under 2.5 Goals. Valladolid have a 2-3-2 record at home this season, failing to score in all three losses.
Levante have been doing a great job since late November, losing only to Barcelona and Villarreal in 17 matches in all competitions (6-2-9). They are now undefeated in their last five (2-0-3), but both teams scored in each of their last nine matches regardless of venue and competition. However, Levante have not been very stable on the road so far, winning just three of their 12 away matches in all competitions (with two of those wins coming in the Cup). They have a 1-5-4 away record in the league, scoring 11 and conceding 16 goals so far.
The two teams have already met twice this season, both for the La Liga, where they exchanged a couple of draws (2-2 in Levante, 1-1 in Valladolid). Dating back to 2005, Valladolid have been better as hosts (3-1-4), but three of the last five matches in this venue were draws (1-1-3). I am taking Levante here, who have an upcoming match against Real Madrid (and should be considered a loss already), while Valladolid have a must-win match against Huesca.
