Levante vs. Barcelona: Everything You Need to Know Before the Big Clash

Levante vs. Barcelona: Everything You Need to Know Before the Big Clash

Barcelona return to La Liga action this Sunday as Hansi Flick's side make the trip to Valencia to take on Levante.

It has been an outstanding start to the campaign for Barça, who have claimed four victories from four league outings in 2026–27, piling up goals and earning widespread praise along the way.

Last weekend's thrashing at Valencia equalled a decade-old club record, with Barcelona registering consecutive 5–0 away victories in La Liga for the first time since 2016.

Levante are the next side tasked with halting Flick's star-studded squad. It's a daunting challenge for the Granotes, even though they did dismantle Real Betis 5–2 in their only home fixture so far this term.

Levante vs. Barcelona Score Prediction

Unstoppable Barça Power on

Raphinha celebrates scoring for Barcelona against Feyenoord in the Champions League.

Whenever Barcelona take to the pitch this season, it's difficult to envision any other outcome than a Barça victory.

La Blaugrana have been in breathtaking form and are chasing a fifth consecutive win to open the new La Liga season.

Barça have netted five goals in three of their four domestic matches this season — plus once in the Champions League — and the combined attacking threat of Raphinha, Lamine Yamal and company looks set to overwhelm Levante.

That said, the Valencian outfit will be no pushover on home soil. They have won their last six consecutive La Liga home encounters and have not suffered a defeat at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia since February.

Prediction: Levante 0–3 Barcelona

Levante Predicted Lineup vs. Barcelona

Mathew Ryan

The home side head into this match with minimal squad concerns. Only reserve goalkeeper Álex Primo (shoulder) and forward Karl Etta Eyong (thigh) are expected to miss out, affording manager Luís Castro the benefit of fielding close to his strongest available eleven.

34-year-old former Arsenal and Valencia stalwart Mathew Ryan has been La Liga's most active goalkeeper so far this season, averaging 4.3 saves per game. At the opposite end, it has been a struggle — Levante have failed to score in three of the four matches they've contested in 2026–27.

Supporters are still yet to see new arrivals in action, including Liverpool prospect Ifeanyi Ndukwe and Petar Ratkov.

Levante predicted lineup vs. Barcelona (4-3-3): Ryan; Pérez, De La Fuente, Mandi, Sánchez; Bardelli, Rey, Olasagasti; Brugué, Romero; Fernández.

Barcelona Predicted Lineup vs. Levante

Barcelona's predicted lineup to face Levante.

Eric García has been back in training this week and is cleared to feature wearing a protective face mask after sustaining a broken nose in an accidental clash with Rodri during the Valencia match. The defender, who has been Flick's go-to right back this season, sat out the midweek Champions League victory over Feyenoord through suspension.

Frenkie de Jong and Roony Bardghji remain the club's two long-term injury concerns.

The likes of Fermín López, Gerard Martín, Xavi Espart and Anthony Gordon could all be brought back into the starting eleven after being omitted from the squad on Wednesday evening.

Barcelona predicted lineup vs. Levante (4-2-3-1): J. García; Koundé, Cubarsí, Martín, Espart; Rodri, Pedri; Yamal, López, Gordon; Raphinha.
