Malaga vs Levante

MALAGA, Spain (Interstat) — Levante visits Malaga on Saturday in a Segunda División matchup that could have significant implications as the season enters its final stretch. Kickoff at Estadio La Rosaleda is set for Week 32 of the Spanish second tier, with the home side looking to build on an inconsistent campaign and the visitors aiming to maintain their push for promotion.

Levante (8-5-4 in its last 17 league matches) arrives after a 2-1 loss at Real Betis on May 23, snapping a three-match winning streak. Before that defeat, the Valencia-based club had posted victories over Mallorca (2-0), Celta Vigo (3-2) and Osasuna (3-2). Overall, Levante has won seven of its last 10 outings, with only two losses in that span, including a 5-1 drubbing at Villarreal on May 2. The team’s offensive firepower has been evident, scoring at least twice in five of its past six matches.

Malaga (5-6-6 in its last 17) has played only one league match in the past six weeks — a 3-2 win at Las Palmas on April 17. The club’s only other listed result this season was a 5-3 loss at Albacete on Nov. 16, 2025, leaving a considerable gap in recent form data. Malaga has shown resilience on the road but has struggled for consistency at home, where it holds a mixed record.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the match is projected to end in a 1-1 draw. However, Interstat’s ELO system gives Levante an 83.80 percent probability of winning, suggesting the visitors are heavy favorites despite the predicted deadlock. The discrepancy reflects Levante’s superior recent form and deeper squad, though Malaga will have the benefit of a home crowd that has often lifted the team in tight contests.

For Levante, a win would bolster its bid for automatic promotion or a playoff spot, while Malaga, sitting mid-table, could use a positive result to build momentum for next season. The match is the only Segunda División fixture scheduled for Saturday, putting both teams under a spotlight.
