Prediction Villarreal CF - Levante today 23:30 20/09/2026.

Villarreal has a stable squad with key players such as Nicolas Pépé, Gerard Moreno, Georges Mikautadze, Pape Gueye, Santi Comesaña, Renato Veiga, Álvaro Santiago Mouriño González, and goalkeeper Luíz Lúcio Reis Júnior, who have consistently maintained their roles in the last 5 games.

The 4-4-2 tactical formation has been consistently applied in all 10 recent matches, providing a balance between defense and attack, especially the ability to control the area and exploit plays on the flanks

The distribution of roles within the 4-4-2 formation is clear, with forwards focusing on attacking, midfielders taking on the role of linking play, and the defense participating in pressing and cutting passes.

Although there have been substitutions of reserve players such as Ayoze Pérez, Alberto Moleiro, Logan Costa, and Pau Navarro, they have not made a significant impact on the team's overall playing style.

Villarreal is experiencing a crisis with unstable results, including five consecutive losses in their last 10 matches, indicating a lack of ability to maintain form and poor performance.

The team's defense is facing serious issues with 18 goals conceded (an average of 1.8 per game) and only 1 clean sheet, while the BTTS ratio reaches 80% and 70% of matches have 3 or more goals, reflecting a lack of concentration and weak ability to control the game.

Poor match discipline was demonstrated by 18 yellow cards and 2 red cards across 10 matches, particularly in matches with many disciplinary cards, such as the match against Real Betis (3 yellow cards), the match against RC Lens (4 yellow cards), and the match against Atletico Madrid (3 yellow cards + 2 red cards).

The absence of Juan Foyth, one of the key central defenders, has caused the defense to lack stability, especially in 1v1 defensive situations, while substitute options such as Sergi Cardona Bermúdez or Pau Navarro are less experienced and have poorer ball-playing abilities.

Villarreal is in 19th place in the La Liga 2026-2027 table after 5 matches, having earned only 2 points from 2 draws and 3 losses, with a goal difference of -3 (7 goals scored, 10 goals conceded), highlighting a lack of effectiveness in both attack and defense.

Levante has the ability to turn games around in important matches, as demonstrated by the 5-2 victory over Real Betis and the 2-1 win against Albacete, showing their determination and composure at crucial moments.

Levante kept a clean sheet in three matches (including two goalless draws) and often scores in the second half, demonstrating their effective defensive and counter-attacking organization.

Roger Brugué is the top scorer (3 goals) and has 5 shots on target, demonstrating an important role in Levante's attacking play.

Levante is ranked 14th in the La Liga table after 5 matches, with 5 points from 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses, indicating that their performance still has many areas needing improvement.

The current stable personnel framework with key players such as Mathew Ryan, Aïssa Mandi, and Roger Brugué playing regularly, creating cohesion in the playing style

The percentage of matches with three or more goals is 60%, reflecting an open playing style and the ability to create many opportunities, although sometimes leading to heavy defeats.

Levante has gone through an unstable period with 4 losses (including 3 heavy defeats against Barcelona, Espanyol, and Sheffield) and has only kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 10 matches, highlighting defensive instability.

Levante often concedes goals in the first half (an average of 1.4 goals per game conceded) and has four losses with at least two goals, reflecting a lack of focus and poor ability to control the game.

Levante has never won in matches where they did not concede a goal (Win rate of 0%), showing a lack of composure in tight defensive situations and the ability to create clear opportunities.
