Levante vs Villarreal Prediction and Preview – 04/10/15
Spanish La Liga preview – Levante Vs Villarreal prediction
For Levante, Angel Trujillo misses through injury which could mean Simao coming in as the centre-back. Verza is still out of action with Cmarasa and Lerma continuing to occupy the midfield. Morales could be preferred to Ivan Lopez in the midfield.
For Villarreal, Cedric Bakumbu is still out of action owing to an injury. Leo Baptistao should be able to start up front for the visitors. Denis Suarez is a doubt while Castillejo could be in for a starting role.

Levante: 3-5-2 formation: Martinez; Feddal, Simao, Juanfran; Tono, Camarasa, Lerma, Mari, Morales; Ghilas, Deyverson
Villarreal: 4-4-2 formation: Areola; Costa, Ruiz, Bailly, Mario; Castillejo, Pina, Bruno, Nahuel; Baptistao, Soldado

Prediction
Villarreal is leading the La Liga table with the ‘Yellow Submarine’ leading Barcelona by a point after 6 matches. They have recorded three consecutive wins in La Liga. Their defence is also pretty solid having conceded only one goal in these matches.
The hosts are winless in five consecutive games. Their defence is also pretty porous having conceded 9 goals in their last 3 matches. If anything, they need a win to kick start their campaign. Incidentally, there are only one of the two sides (other being Malaga) to be winless at this stage.
It is tough to see the hosts posing trouble for Villarreal who are currently in the midst of a purple patch.
