By Tom Goulding on 2012-01-26 09:00:02
VALENCIA, SPAIN - Levante host Valencia in the second leg of their Copa del Rey Quarter-Final tie this evening with the tough task of trying to overturn a 4-1 deficit from the first leg. Valencia are favourites to win the game tonight at 13/10 (bet £10 to win £13) with Bet365 and Betfred, but a draw will suffice for the east coast side, and it is 5/2 with Bet Victor that it ends in a stalemate this evening. Given a one-goal or even two-goal defeat for Valencia would still be good enough to send them through to the semi-finals, they may approach the game defensively and settle for a narrow defeat as the game goes on. Levante are 9/4 to win with Bet Victor.
It is 3rd travelling to 4th in terms of position in La Liga, with both sides enjoying impressive league campaigns. Levante have already played host to Valencia in the league this season, losing 2-0 at home to them. It is 10/1 with Stan James that we have a repeat 2-0 away win.
Valencia have won four games on the road in the league this season from nine games, winning 2-0, 2-1 and 1-0 twice. It is 7/1 with Ladbrokes that Valencia win 1-0 again while 2-1 to Valencia is 8/1 with most firms, including Bodog and Boylesports. 3-0 to the away side is 22/1 with Ladbrokes while 3-1 is 18/1, a top price with Betfred.
Valencia have drawn three games on the road, two by a 1-1 scoreline and once with a 2-2 scoreline. 1-1 is 6/1 with Blue Square while it is 14/1 with Bet Victor and Blue Square for a 2-2 draw. The goalless draw is a top price of 10/1 with Bodog.
A draw would of course send Valencia through to the semi-finals, and it is best at 1/50 with Bet365 that Valencia make it through the tie in whatever way. Levante are best at 16/1 with Blue Square and Bet365.
56% of Levante's home games have gone under 2.5 goals, with an average of 2.22 goals per game on average at their ground. On the road there have been an average of only 2.11 goals per game,with 67% of their games going under 2.5 goals. It is a top price of 10/11 with Ladbrokes for under 2.5 goals while over 2.5 goals is close to evens too, at a top price of 19/20 with Bet365.
It is 9/2 with Blue Square for Levante to be winning at half-time and full-time while it is 13/5 with Bodog for Valencia to be winning at half-time and full-time. In the same half-time/full-time market, Levante/Draw is a top price of 14/1 with Bet365, Blue Square and Bodog while Levante/Valencia is 28/1 with Bet Victor. Draw/Levante is 13/2 with Paddy Power while Draw/Draw is 9/2 with bet365. Valencia/Draw is 14/1 with Blue Square.
Valencia's Roberto Soldado will most likely lead the line as a lone striker, their top scorer being evens with some firms to score anytime tonight, and 5/4 at best with Blue Square. Antonio Aduriz who will either partner him up front or play out wide for Valencia, is 13/8 with some firms, such as Boylesports to get on the scoresheet tonight.
The match kicks off at 2030 GMT and is live on Sky Sports 1.
