Levante, who have made a strong start to the league and are unbeaten in three matches, host a dazzling Barça side that have begun the season in dominant fashion, although the Valencians hope to be the first team to put Flick’s men to the test.

Barça will look to continue their powerful start to the season at Levante’s ground, in a match that could see plenty of goals, like the last five meetings between these teams where three or more goals have been scored.

Trading blows is unlikely to favour the Granotas, so they’ll need to find a way to disrupt Flick’s well-oiled side, one of the sensations of European football in this opening month of competition.

Levante v Barcelona Tips

Barça win with between 2 and 5 goals – 5/14@ bet365

Barça to win more corners – 1/2 @ bet365

Raphinha to score – 8/11 @ bet365

Odds correct at the time of writing, subject to change.

Barça win with multiple goals

Barça have been in rampant form at the start of this league campaign, so all bets in favour of the Catalans or on goals in the match come with lower odds than usual.

The Catalans have scored exactly three goals in each of their last five matches against Levante, and have also scored between two and five in all five official matches played this season, so combining a Barça win with Flick’s side finishing with between two and five total goals could be a smart move.

Tip: Barça win with between 2 and 5 goals – 5/14@ bet365

Bet Explanation: This bet wins if Barça win by scoring more than one and fewer than six goals.

More corners for Barça

Barcelona’s attacking football usually results in the Catalans winning more corners than their opponents, something that has happened in all but one of Flick’s matches this season.

In both of Barça’s games under Flick against the Granotas, the Barcelona side took more corners, even surpassing ten corners in both matches.

Tip: Barça to win more corners – 1/2 @ bet365

Bet Explanation: This bet wins if Barça take more corners than Levante

Will Raphinha keep scoring?

It may be a bit of a gamble, but it’s reasonable to expect Raphinha’s incredible run as a centre forward to continue a little longer.

The Brazilian has never scored against Levante, having faced the Granotas twice, but he’s started the season with eight goals in five official matches. He was substituted after an hour against Feyenoord, so we expect him to start again in Valencia.

Tip: Raphinha to score – 8/11 @ bet365

Bet Explanation: This bet wins if Raphinha scores at least one goal in the match
