Barcelona want to regain the lead of LaLiga as soon as possible. To do so, as well as hoping for a Madrid slip-up, they need to take the three points here. The Culés have had the first of two consecutive weeks off in order to recover players and accumulate training sessions.
The visit of Levante, second-bottom in LaLiga EA Sports and the leakiest defence in the league, looks like an ideal opportunity for Flick's side to get back to winning ways and return to the incisive form that saw them string together 17 wins in 18 games after losing to Chelsea in the Champions League.
Levante, meanwhile, have improved under Luis Castro, but arrive at the Camp Nou on the back of two defeats and have seen their salvation from relegation places slip away again.
Barcelona vs Levante Tips
Barça score between two and four goals - 4/7 @ bet365
Between 3 and 6 total goals and Barcelona most corner kicks - 8/15 @ bet365
Barcelona score in the second half and Levante don't - 4/6 @ bet365
Barça score between 2 and 4 goals
Barcelona remain the top-scoring team in LaLiga EA Sports, and host the side that has conceded the most goals. Los Culés have managed to score more than one and fewer than five goals in six of their last eight official matches and in ten of their eleven home games in La Liga (the exception being the 6-0 win over Valencia). Levante have conceded between two and four goals in five of their last seven league matches, and in four of their last six away league games.
Tip: Barça score between two and four goals - 4/7 @ bet365
Bet Explanation: This bet is a winner if Barça score two, three or four goals in the match.
Between 3 and 6 total goals and more Barcelona corners
It can be difficult to find predictions for such a one-sided match, but we found a small combination that can give a good result, and that offers interesting odds. Barcelona have been the team with the most corners in almost every matchday, and in every matchday they have played at home. They are the team with the most corners in the tournament (180) before this matchday, with 12 more than Atlético and 26 more than Real Madrid.
The other leg of this combination is also interesting, as 20 of Barça's 24 games have had more than 2.5 goals, and only one of them had seven or more goals.
At home, ten of Flick's 11 games have had three or more goals, and none of them have had more than six. The Catalans' last nine official matches have ranged between three and six total goals, as have nine of the last 11 meetings between the two sides, and seven of the last nine Barça-Levante matches at home.
Tip: Between 3 and 6 total goals and Barcelona most corner kicks - 8/15 @ bet365
Bet Explanation: This bet is a winner if Barcelona finish the match with more corners than Levante AND the match has more than two goals but fewer than seven.
Only Barcelona score in the second half
Again, we find an interesting combination. Barça have scored in the second half in 19 of their last 20 games in all competitions, and in 14 of the 15 official home games they have played this season (only PSG in the Champions League held on after the break).
In 13 of those 15, they have also kept a clean sheet in the second half, including every home game they have played in the league competition (Paris and Olympiacos were the only two to score in the second half at home, interestingly, both with Spanish coaches). That last streak includes the last nine official matches at home.
Levante scored both goals in the reverse fixture this season before half-time (2-3) and conceded all three of Barça's goals after the break. Los Granotas have failed to score in the second half in 10 of their last 12 visits to Barça. The Valencians have also failed to score after the break in four of their last six league appearances.
Tip: Barcelona score in the second half and Levante don't - 4/6 @ bet365
Bet Explanation: This bet is a winner if Barca score a goal after the break and Levante do not.
