Ambitious “El Submarino Amarillo” has to pick up points from the very first battle in the elite division if it wants to get back to the major clubs tournament in next season.
Levante take on the visitors Villarreal at “Ciutat de Valencia” in the starting gameweek of the LaLiga of 2017/2018 season. The match will be played in Valencia on Monday, August 21st.
Last season Levante played in the LaLiga2, having won it confidently with 84 points earned and 57-32 goal difference, being 14 points ahead of the closest chaser. “Les Granotes” are strong by the team play as the club has no budget to sign expensive and famous players. During the summer Levante have conducted eight friendly clashes while getting ready for the new season resulting in four victories, single draw and three defeats. It should be noted that “Les Granotes” are the home team and their loss in the recent encounter at their own turf is rather an exception from the club’s successful performance in front of their fans.

Villarreal are the club with ambitions. Last season the team finished on the fifth place in the LaLiga standings with 67 points taken and 56-33 goal difference. This summer “El Submarino Amarillo” has spent 43 million EUR on the squad’s enforcement, having engaged Andres Fernandez, Ruben Semedo, Enes Unal and Pablo Fornals plus Carlos Bacca who was rented from AC Milan. The main task for this year for the visiting side is to win back a place in the UEFA Champions League zone which would mean big income and new strong performers in future.
Traditionally Villarreal get points in their head-to-heads against Levante regularly and I believe that the visitors will focus on the forthcoming game and will earn their points in Valencia.
Prediction for the match: Villarreal to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
