Competition: Spanish Segunda
Market: Levante win
Odds: 1/2 @ 1xBet
Two sides who find themselves scrapping it out at opposite ends of the Segunda standings, Levante will welcome Ferrol to Valencia on Monday night.
Starting with the hosts, while Levante might have entered Spain’s festive break in the midst of a minor rut, Julian Calero’s side have come roaring back sine opening the New Year. Snatching what was a dramatic 2-1 victory away at Deportivo La Coruna last week, the Frogs have their sights firmly set on booking a La Liga return this season. Getting 2025 underway with a dominant display as they cruised their way to a 3-0 romp against Tenerife, the former Porto coach has seen his squad muster 10 points from their previous four Segunda appearances. Getting Monday’s showdown underway sat just two points adrift of skyrocketing into the automatic promotions spots, Levante have also suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous 14 consecutive Segunda outings. With that run stemming all the way back to October 19th, the Valencia-based outfit should be smelling a golden opportunity here. It should also be highlighted, Calero’s camp have not suffered a single defeat in front of their own supporters since April 2024.
As for the visitors, while Levante might be enjoying what has become a real purple patch, the same can not be said for a struggling Ferrol. Although some in Alejandro Menendez’s might have opened up the 2024/25 campaign dreaming of the chance to mount a genuine play-off charge, the Green Devils find themselves at the heart of a public Segunda crisis. Coming under a huge amount of scrutiny last time out as they slumped to an infamous 6-0 drumming at the hands of Racing Santander, the one-time Real Madrid coach will have some mounting pressure on his shoulders. Crashing out of the Copa del Rey on January 3rd as they opened the New Year with a 3-1 loss at home against Rayo Vallecano, Monday’s guests have lost four of their previous five appearances across all competitions. Likewise, Ferrol have remarkably claimed just a sole win from any of their last 14 consecutive Segunda showdowns. Sat eight points adrift of safety, it is no surprise that Menendez’s men are pencilled in as a landslide underdog here.
