3. Levante lost 2-1 to Deportivo Alaves on the road in the last league game, starting the new season's league with a defeat and failing to continue their outstanding performances from the warm-up matches.
4. Levante scored 5 goals in the last 5 games, averaging only 1 goal per game, which showed weak offense.

[(FC Barcelona) Strength]:
1. FC Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal scored a goal and made an assist in the last league game, helping the team take all 3 points on the road.
2. FC Barcelona secured a 3-0 win over 9-man RCD Mallorca in the last league game away from home, starting this season's league with a win.
3. FC Barcelona scored 102 goals in 38 league games last season, with an average of 2.68 goals per game, a record that placed them far ahead of other La Liga teams.
4. FC Barcelona conceded no goals in the last 3 games, keeping all clean sheets, which showed solid defense.

6. In the last 6 encounters between both sides, FC Barcelona recorded 4 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, having the upper hand.

[(FC Barcelona) Weakness]:
1. FC Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski previously missed the preseason Joan Gamper Trophy and the opening La Liga match due to a minor injury. According to official Barcelona sources, he has participated in most of the team's training sessions but will still not start in this game.
2. FC Barcelona's midfield is currently highly competitive, with 21-year-old youngster Marc Casado confirmed to not receive many opportunities. Multiple clubs, including Olympique de Marseille, West Ham United, and Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C., have shown interest in signing him and have already submitted significant offers. Barcelona are willing to sell for 30 million euros, but the player's future remains uncertain.

[Tips]:
Levante, as a newly promoted team this season, have not significantly strengthened their squad after promotion.

Their strength in La Liga remains very limited, and the team suffered a defeat in their opening league match.

FC Barcelona successfully outperformed Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid to win the league title last season.

The team have continued their excellent form into the new season, securing an away victory against RCD Mallorca in the opening league match.

With a well-balanced performance in both attack and defense, coupled with their strong away form, Barcelona are undoubtedly the more reliable side in this fixture.

Thus, Barca are expected to win.

[Recommended]:
FC Barcelona (-1.5/2)
