Levante vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction and Betting Tips

The Spanish La Liga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Levante play host to Rayo Vallecano at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia on Sunday. This will be the first meeting between the two teams since May 2022, when Julian Calero Fernandez’s men picked up a 4-2 victory in their league clash at the Estadio de Vallecas.

Levante were in action during the international break as they fell to a penalty-shootout defeat against Leganes in a friendly on October 13.

Fernandez’s side turn their attention to La Liga, where they are unbeaten in four of their last five matches, claiming two wins and two draws, having lost their first three games to start the campaign.

Levante have picked up eight points from their eight league matches so far to sit 13th in the standings, level on points with Valencia and this weekend’s visitors.

Meanwhile, Rayo Vallecano picked up a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad last time out courtesy of an 84th-minute strike from Alfonso Espino.

Before that, Inigo Perez’s men snapped their five-game winless run on October 2 when they secured a 2-0 victory over Shkendija to kick off their 2025-26 UEFA Conference League campaign.

Next up for Vallecano is a journey to the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia, where they have failed to win their last four visits, losing three and picking up one draw since a 2-0 victory in September 2014.
