Barcelona will look to maintain their perfect start to the 2026/27 La Liga season when they travel to face an in-form Levante side. The hosts boast an impressive home record, but Barcelona arrive in devastating scoring form after another five-goal performance in Europe.
For football fans and bettors in Kenya, this clash promises goals, attacking football and several interesting betting opportunities.
Levante vs. Barcelona Match Preview
Levante have responded strongly after losing their opening La Liga fixture, going unbeaten across their following three matches with one win and two draws.
Their standout performance was an emphatic 5-2 victory over Real Betis, extending their remarkable La Liga home run. Levante have now won seven of their last eight home league matches, including six consecutive victories—a club record.
However, Barcelona represents a significant step up in quality. Levante failed to beat any side that finished inside La Liga’s top five last season, recording two draws and eight defeats.
Barcelona Arrives in Ruthless Form
Barcelona could hardly have started the campaign better.
The Blaugrana followed their perfect opening four La Liga matches with a commanding 5-1 UEFA Champions League victory over Feyenoord in midweek.
Barcelona have incredibly scored five goals in four of their five competitive victories this season, including each of their last three matches.
Their attacking form makes them the first club since Athletic Club in 1959 to score at least five goals in three consecutive La Liga fixtures.
Barcelona’s away form strengthens their case further, with the Catalan giants winning 11 of their last 15 La Liga away matches.
Levante vs. Barcelona Head-to-Head
Barcelona have found the net in all 34 La Liga meetings against Levante, highlighting their remarkable attacking consistency in this fixture.
However, trips to Levante haven’t always been straightforward. Barcelona have won only three of their previous six top-flight away H2Hs, alongside one draw and two defeats.
Levante’s excellent home form therefore shouldn’t be completely dismissed, even with Barcelona entering as strong favorites.
Players to Watch
Levante goalkeeper Mathew Ryan could be one of the busiest players on the pitch. He has registered at least three saves in seven consecutive La Liga appearances, and Barcelona’s relentless attack should provide another demanding test.
For Barcelona, Lamine Yamal is the obvious danger man. The Spanish star has produced five goals and two assists in his last three appearances.
Interestingly, Levante remain one of only three current La Liga clubs Yamal has never scored against in the competition.
Team News
Levante will be without Karl Etta Eyong, while Barcelona will remain without influential midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
Despite De Jong’s absence, Barcelona have shown more than enough attacking depth to overwhelm opponents this season.
