The second matchday of LaLiga EA Sports 2025/26 is eagerly anticipated, with Levante facing off against Barcelona, trying to prove they have hunger for wins this new season.
The season’s openers revealed both certainties and doubts, and while some clubs started strongly, others showed the need for immediate adjustments. However, analysis of what we saw on the opening day must be done with caution, as the transfer market remains open and any movement could alter lineups and roles in a matter of days.
Coaches are still managing rotations, tactical tests, and the integration of new signings that could change the dynamics seen on the first day.
While Barça and Real Madrid got off to a strong start by winning on day 1, teams such as Atlético Madrid, Celta de Vigo, Girona, and Sevilla were not so lucky and will now have to fight tooth and nail to get the 3 points.

Why Bet on Levante?
Levante heads into this second matchday needing to bounce back after losing 1-2 to Alavés in its league opener. Still, the outlook isn’t entirely negative: in its last five official matches, including the final stretch of last season, it has four wins and just one loss.
In the Primera División, the Valencians have a balanced record in their last five games, with three wins and two losses.
Under the leadership of Julián Calero, Levante has shown competitive character and a style of football that seeks to dominate possession. The offensive side has borne fruit in recent months, but the big challenge is to strengthen a defense that tends to suffer against higher-ranked opponents.
Despite not getting off to a good start in the table, the previous dynamic suggests that, with the necessary adjustments, Levante can become an uncomfortable and difficult team to beat throughout the season.
Why Bet on Barcelona?
Barcelona, on the other hand, is flying high after a convincing start to the season. The Azulgranas have racked up five consecutive wins in all competitions, including their most recent victory against Mallorca, whom they beat by a resounding 3-0.
In the league, their record is also outstanding: four wins in five games, with just one defeat as the exception in what is a positive run of form.
Hansi Flick’s influence on the team is already clearly evident. The German coach has managed to consolidate a solid defense and a powerful attack, restoring the essence of the club’s characteristic associative play.
With Lamine Yamal, Raphina, Lewandowski, Ferran, and now Rashford, it seems that the Blaugrana have an extremely powerful squad, especially in attack.
