El Sevilla FC travels to face Levante at the Ciutat de Valencia stadium on Monday at 21:00 to close out the eighth round of LaLiga fixtures.
Historical Dominance Tested at Ciutat de Valencia
Across twenty official matches played on Valencian soil between these two clubs, Sevilla has claimed eight victories, drawn six times, and suffered six defeats. Despite that historical cushion, the club from Nervión enters Monday’s fixture carrying a nearly five-year drought at the Ciutat de Valencia.
The last time Sevilla secured an away victory against Levante came during the 2021–22 campaign, when they edged a 3–2 thriller. On that night, a brace from Tecatito Corona and a goal from Koundé wiped out goals from Morales and Soldado.
Recent Struggles and the Law of the Former Player
Recent history heavily favors the home side, aided by Levante’s spell in Segunda División and a defeat suffered by Sevilla during the 2025–26 season. In their most recent encounter on April 23—coinciding with the Thursday of the Feria in Seville—Levante triumphed 2–0 thanks to a brace from Iván Romero against his former club.
The fixture’s 21st-century history highlights tight margins. Levante has frequently struck by the minimum scoreline, including 1–0 wins during the 2011–12 and 2012–13 campaigns alongside a 2–1 victory in 2017–18. The rivalry itself dates back to March 1964, when the teams played out a 1–1 draw with goals from Serafín and Diéguez.
Standings Implications for Monday Night
Sevilla targets a return to winning ways in Valencia to solidify its position in the upper reaches of the LaLiga table. Luis García Plaza’s squad aims to cap off a strong league start by overcoming both their recent away struggles at the Ciutat de Valencia and Levante’s resilient home record.
