Depending on Atletico Madrid’s clash with Real Sociedadat home, this might be another “do or die” matchup for Barca. If they win, the Catalantswill move on top of La Liga, at least untilWednesday when Atleti face Real Sociedad. Levante are +410underdogs, mostly because of their poor performances in the La Liga 2021-22 season. They sit in 14th place on the table, buttheir stay in the Spanish top flight is secure.

An interesting fact is that the last time Levante hosted the Blaugrana, they triumphed 3-1 on November 2, 2019. The Frogs know how to cause an upset, especially in this calendar year. In fact, Levante have managed to grab a victory over both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in the second part of the season. However, they have only two wins in the last 10 league games. Taking all this into account, betting that Barcelona win this matchup with a final result of 2-1 could be a sure bet, at +750, a $100 bet could earn the bettor $750.If you got to pick anyone to put the ball in the back of the net in this game look no further thanLionel Messi,as heis at +175to bethe first one to score.
