Levante lost 3–0 at Barcelona in Jornada 5 and face a tough task at home here, though they have Mathew Ryan as a reliable last line of defence and Petar Ratkov providing threat in attack.
Levante: injury concerns and predicted XI

Sevilla: team news and outlook
Odisseas Vlachodimos starts in goal for Sevilla. Youssouf Fofana arrived this summer from Monaco and drives their midfield. Chidera Ejuke on the wing adds electric pace. Isaac Romero has been Sevilla's best striker this season.
Key tactical battle
Fofana's midfield dominance against Levante's compact 4-3-3. If Sevilla can win the midfield battle and get Ejuke running at the Levante full-backs, they should create enough chances to win.
Head-to-head record
Sevilla have historically been the stronger side in this fixture from their time together in La Liga, but Levante at home are a different proposition to the away side.
Prediction
1–2. Sevilla's quality should tell in the second half despite Levante's organisation at home.
