Levante host Al Qadsiah at Estadio Ciudad de Valencia in a pre-season friendly that pits a Spanish second-division side against Brendan Rodgers’ Saudi Pro League outfit. The two clubs met exactly a year ago in the same competition, playing out a goalless draw, which makes this rematch an intriguing test of whether either side has evolved enough to break the deadlock. Levante arrive under Luís Castro with a modest 50% win rate over their last 30 days, while Al Qadsiah have gone two straight games without a win, drawing both fixtures heading into this one.
Levante’s most dangerous attacking presence in recent outings has been the forward line that dismantled Celta Vigo 3-2 and Mallorca 2-0 earlier in the summer, showing genuine goal threat when the press clicks. For Al Qadsiah, the player to watch is the creative engine behind their 5-1 demolition of Al Ittihad, a result that showed Rodgers’ side can produce in abundance when the system fires. That Al Ittihad win stands as a hot stat worth noting: Al Qadsiah scored five goals in a single match during their current pre-season run, the highest single-game output recorded by either side in the data window.

Levante vs Al Qadsiah Prediction
The head-to-head record between these two clubs is thin but telling: their only previous meeting ended 0-0, and the bookmakers at the time rated the draw as the most likely outcome at 43%. With both sides currently using pre-season fixtures to build fitness and shape rather than chase results at all costs, the draw market carries real value again. Levante’s last two results include a loss to Sheffield United and a win over Leganes, suggesting inconsistency rather than dominance. Al Qadsiah’s back-to-back draws against Girona and Real Oviedo in the days immediately before this fixture confirm a side settling into a cautious, organized defensive structure under Rodgers.
Levante tend to play with a high defensive line and rely on short passing combinations, which can leave them vulnerable to transitions. Al Qadsiah, shaped by Rodgers’ typical 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 frameworks, press high and recycle possession efficiently. In a friendly context, neither coach will want to concede cheaply, which suppresses total goal expectation. We predict the draw is the most defensible outcome here, with under 2.5 goals the natural companion bet given the cautious pre-season mood from both camps.

Team Analysis
Levante have played five matches in the current pre-season window and carry a split record: two wins, two losses, and one draw across their year-to-date campaign. Castro’s side opened impressively, beating Celta Vigo 3-2 and Mallorca 2-0, but they then stumbled, losing to Real Betis 1-2 and most recently falling 1-2 to Sheffield United. The Sheffield defeat is the most recent data point and the most relevant one. Levante created enough to score but conceded twice, hinting at a defensive shape still being fine-tuned. Their win over Leganes (2-1) sandwiched between the losses shows a side that can grind out results against lower-ranked opposition but struggles against well-organized English and Portuguese opposition.
Al Qadsiah come into this fixture off back-to-back goalless draws against Girona and Real Oviedo, two competitive Spanish sides. That defensive solidity is a deliberate feature under Rodgers, who typically demands shape before attacking expression in pre-season. Earlier in July, Al Qadsiah were far more expansive: a 5-1 win over Al Ittihad and a 2-0 win over Al-Hazem demonstrated their attacking ceiling. The 2-1 victory over Al-Fayha further underlined consistency in finishing. The two most recent draws suggest Rodgers has shifted focus to defensive organization as the camp progresses, which lines up with a tight, low-scoring result on Sunday.

TipsGG Match Prediction
The sole previous meeting between Levante and Al Qadsiah ended 0-0, and the conditions surrounding this rematch point firmly in the same direction. Levante’s inconsistent form across five pre-season games, combined with Al Qadsiah’s clear shift toward defensive organization in their last two outings, creates a match profile where goals will be hard to come by. Rodgers rarely allows his sides to concede cheaply even in friendlies, and Castro’s Levante are still ironing out defensive vulnerabilities exposed by Sheffield United. We predict a draw, most likely 0-0 or 1-1, with the under 2.5 goals line offering the best risk-adjusted value. To be honest, backing both teams not to score alongside the draw is perhaps the sharpest combined angle available given how this pre-season has unfolded for both squads.
