La Liga is back, and Espanyol welcome Levante to open the season at home. These two sides spent last season scrapping in the same division, and the bad blood is fresh enough to make this a proper contest from the first whistle. Espanyol's pre-season was open and free-scoring - 11 goals in 5 friendlies - while Levante showed decent punch with 7 goals of their own, though they lost two of five. In the head-to-head, Espanyol have not lost any of the last 4 meetings, picking up 2 wins and 2 draws, outscoring Levante 7-3 in that run. Both sides conceded in 4 of their last 5 friendlies, suggesting a lively game, but Espanyol's home advantage and the h2h edge make them the value pick. At 2.00, the Espanyol win is the play - bigger price, real edge.
