A Sports Betting Pick by Gladiator
Football: Spain: La Liga - Round 25
Camp Nou (Barcelona), Spain
Sunday, 22nd February 2026 - Kick Off 16:15 CET
Barcelona
Barcelona enter this round under pressure after back-to-back defeats derailed both their Copa del Rey hopes and their league leadership. Flick’s side now starts the weekend chasing, not leading, which adds urgency to their performance here. The good news is that a return to Camp Nou usually cures problems quickly: Barcelona have won all 11 of their home league games this season, scoring 34 goals and showing a level of dominance few sides can match. Their efficiency against weaker opposition is another strong indicator, as they’ve taken 28 of a possible 30 points against teams starting the round below 13th, hitting at least three goals in every win. With the title race so tight, nothing less than a convincing response will be accepted.
Levante
Levante make the trip to Catalonia short on confidence after a third straight league defeat, failing to score in the last two. Their relegation fears are growing, and being seven points from safety is a harsh reflection of their fragile defence, which has already conceded 41 goals. Away form also continues to haunt them, with five losses in their last six league trips, and the gulf between them and the division’s top-half sides has been painfully clear all season. Levante have not managed a single win against a top-ten team, and coming to Camp Nou with such defensive issues is as tough as it gets.
Betting Verdict
Barcelona’s home form has been flawless, and Levante’s problems in front of goal, especially away from home, make a clean sheet for the hosts a very realistic prospect. The visitors’ defensive struggles also point to another routine attacking display from Barça, who typically dismantle struggling sides at home.
