**Villarreal's feeder club rolls out the welcome mat for a sharp Levante side** — this is a routine pre-season tuneup, but Levante's hot form (3 wins in their last 5) makes them the sneaky threat here. 🔥

Levante are clicking early in summer, backing up wins against Albacete and Al-Qadsiah with decent competition. Villarreal C, meanwhile, are using this fixture as a development outing — the squad rotation will show.

Key storylines:

- **Levante's attacking trio** of V. García, I. Romero, and P. Cortés have momentum and should find space against a rotating defensive unit
- **CF Villarreal's midfield engine** anchored by **J. Ruiz** and **A. Diatta** will need early cohesion to keep tempo steady
- Summer sharpness could be the difference — **Levante look hungrier** after three wins, while Villarreal C are still gelling

Expected lineups:

- **CF Villarreal C**: R. Rocafort, A. P. Tarí, B. Gora, M. Aleksandrov, F. Viveros, A. Diatta, J. Ruiz, N. E. J. B. Hamou, A. García, A. Forés, C. Ferreres
- **Levante UD**: P. Cuñat, Adri, J. Toljan, H. Sotelo, N. Pérez, J. A. Olasagasti, K. Arriaga, I. Romero, V. García, E. Eyong, P. Cortés

Prediction:

**Levante 2–1 CF Villarreal C**. Levante's form and attacking intent edge a squad still finding rhythm. 💪
