Levante vs Albacete: La Liga 2 Prediction (17.05.2025)

On May 17, 2025, at 1:30 WIB, a La Liga 2 clash will take place between Levante and Albacete Balompié. The Spanish second division continues to deliver an exciting finish to the season, keeping the tension alive until the very last matchdays. The home side enters this match highly motivated, as they are still in the race for the championship title. Unsurprisingly, bookmakers have marked them as favorites for this encounter. Let’s examine both teams’ current form and provide our betting preview.

Levante

Levante is on the verge of returning to La Liga. With only three rounds remaining, the team currently holds second place, trailing Elche by just one point. In the previous match, the Frogs pulled off a shocking 3-1 away win over the league leaders, reigniting the championship battle in Segunda División.

However, their main objective is to stay within the top two, which ensures direct promotion. The competition remains intense — Mirandés is just two points behind, Racing Santander trails by three, and Real Oviedo is only four points back. It’s worth noting that Levante has been strong at home, losing just one match at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia all season.

Albacete

Albacete has practically lost its chances for promotion. They sit in 10th place on the table, and although they are still mathematically in contention for a playoff spot, the 8-point gap with only three matches left makes that extremely unlikely.

The primary cause of this disappointment has been their inconsistent performances, especially in away matches. Out of 19 away fixtures, the team has managed just 4 wins, collecting only 18 points — one of the poorest away records in the division, ranking 17th. This has significantly undermined Albacete’s potential, despite some impressive performances at home.

Head-to-Head Stats

Levante has dominated recent encounters, winning 4 of the last 5 matches against Albacete, with 1 draw. Their last meeting earlier this season ended in a 0-0 draw on Albacete’s home turf.

Prediction

For the Levante vs Albacete match, our prediction favors the home side. While La Liga 2 is known for its tight contests, the home advantage is a decisive factor here. Albacete has struggled on the road, and the head-to-head record, current form, and promotion motivation clearly support Levante.
