Four wins from five for the visitors — can Levante’s home record hold against LaLiga’s most in-form travellers?
Getafe arrive at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia carrying the kind of form that turns fixtures into tests of character. Four wins from their last five matches, including a 1-0 victory away at Real Madrid, and they have done it largely on the road. Levante, meanwhile, are a side that has found consistency elusive: two wins, two draws, and a defeat in their last five, with a 0-2 loss at Real Sociedad the most recent entry on the ledger.
Match Details
- Fixture: Levante vs Getafe
- Venue: Estadio Ciudad de Valencia
- Date: 13 April 2026
- Kick-off: 19:00 UTC
- Competition: LaLiga 2025/26
Current Form
Getafe’s recent run is difficult to dismiss. They have beaten Athletic Club 2-0 at home, won 2-1 away at Espanyol, and claimed that 1-0 at the Bernabéu. The one blemish was a 0-1 defeat at Atlético Madrid, sandwiched between victories. That is the profile of a side with genuine defensive resilience and the ability to take their chances when they arrive.
Levante’s picture is more complicated. The 4-2 win over Real Oviedo at home offered encouragement, but draws against Rayo Vallecano and Girona either side of it suggest a team that struggles to impose itself consistently. The away defeat at Real Sociedad last time out — conceding twice without reply — will have done nothing to settle nerves ahead of hosting a side in Getafe’s current mood.
The contrast in momentum is stark. Getafe’s 4W 0D 1L record in their last five is the form of a side that knows exactly what it is doing. Levante’s 2W 2D 1L return is the form of a side still working it out.
Key Players to Watch
Getafe
Luis Milla is the engine that drives everything Getafe do. The midfielder has registered 8 assists this season — 6th in LaLiga — and has created 11 big chances, placing him 24th among all chance creators in the division. His 1,058 total passes underline how central he is to Getafe’s build-up. When Getafe are at their best, Milla is invariably the reason.
Mauro Arambarri complements Milla with industry and goals. The midfielder has scored 6 times this season from 30 appearances, a return that makes him Getafe’s top scorer. That combination of defensive work and attacking output from midfield is unusual, and Levante will need to account for him in both phases.
Juan Iglesias sits at the top of the entire LaLiga tackle chart with 86 tackles this season — first among all outfield players. His presence in midfield gives Getafe a physical backbone that is hard to bypass. Add 97 clearances and 178 duels won, and you have a player who simply does not allow the opposition to settle.
Levante
Carlos Espí is Levante’s sharpest attacking threat. The forward has scored 7 goals in 24 appearances — Levante’s top scorer and 41st in LaLiga — with 15 shots on target from 24 appearances. He has converted 4 big chances and missed 4, which tells the story of a player who gets into the right positions but whose clinical edge remains inconsistent.
Adrián de la Fuente leads the side for assists with 9 from a defensive position, which is a remarkable return for a defender. His ability to create from deep gives Levante an unpredictable dimension going forward.
Jeremy Toljan has been one of Levante’s most consistent performers, accumulating 22 key passes and 8 big chances created from right back. His average rating of 6.63 is the highest among Levante’s outfield regulars. He carries the ball, delivers crosses, and provides the creative spark that the front line depends on.
Season Stats Comparison
The individual statistical leaders tell a compelling story about where each side’s strengths lie. Getafe are built around collective defensive solidity and midfield creativity; Levante’s numbers reflect a side that works hard but relies heavily on a small group of individuals to generate quality.
| Stat | Levante | Getafe |
|---|---|---|
| Top Scorer | Espí — 7 goals | Arambarri — 6 goals |
| Top Assister | De la Fuente — 9 | Milla — 8 (6th in LaLiga) |
| Top Goalkeeper (saves) | Ryan — 103 (5th in LaLiga) | Soria — 94 (9th in LaLiga) |
| Top Tackler | Manu Sánchez — 67 (12th in LaLiga) | Juan Iglesias — 86 (1st in LaLiga) |
| Top Chance Creator | Toljan — 8 big chances created | Milla — 11 big chances created |
One number stands out above all others: Mathew Ryan’s 103 saves place him 5th in LaLiga for the season. That is not a badge of honour for a goalkeeper — it is a sign of how much Levante have been asked to absorb. Ryan has been outstanding, but the volume of work he has faced reflects a defence that has been under sustained pressure throughout the campaign.
Head to Head
There is limited history to draw on between these two sides in their current form. Their only meeting on record ended 1-1 at Getafe’s ground in September 2025. No scorers are recorded from that encounter, and with just a single meeting to reference, no meaningful psychological pattern has yet been established between them. This fixture may well be the one that starts to define the dynamic.
What the Bookmakers Say
The betting market frames this as a genuinely open contest. Across the two bookmakers pricing the match, Getafe are fractionally favoured at American odds of around +183 (implied probability: roughly 35%), with Levante at approximately +166 (implied: roughly 38%) and the draw at +205 (implied: roughly 33%). The near-even split reflects the form divergence pulling in opposite directions: Getafe’s superior recent run against Levante’s home advantage.
The totals market is set at 2 goals, with the under priced at -126 — a clear lean towards a low-scoring affair. That aligns with Getafe’s defensive identity and the attritional nature of a fixture between two sides who have kept things tight against comparable opposition this season.
Closing Argument
This match sets two contrasting truths against each other: Getafe’s form is the most compelling argument for backing them, but Levante at home, with Toljan and De la Fuente capable of unpicking defences from wide areas, are not without the tools to cause problems. The question the next 90 minutes will answer is whether Getafe’s defensive structure — anchored by the LaLiga tackle leader in Iglesias and the reliability of David Soria behind him — can contain a Levante attack that has been inconsistent but never truly toothless. Ryan’s save count tells you Levante concede chances; Milla’s assist tally tells you Getafe create them. Watch which midfield wins the battle in the centre of the pitch, because that is where this match will be decided.
