What Stassin's absence does to Sevilla
Lucas Stassin looks set to miss Levante tonight, with Marcão also out. How that injury news sits against our Sevilla 37.6% Desk number.
On this page
Sevilla travel to Levante tonight without a settled centre-forward picture. Archysport reports Lucas Stassin left the final Sunday session to work with rehab staff after an adductor problem, and Marcão plus Iker Muñoz remain out. Our Desk still makes Sevilla slight favourites at 37.6%. Injury news like this is why that number can move between the quote and kick-off.
The Desk number tonight
| Outcome | Our chance | Fair price | Best price seen | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Levante | 34.4% | 2.90 | ||
| Draw | 28.0% | 3.57 | ||
| Sevilla | 37.6% | 2.66 | 2.86, Betfair | +2.6 pts |

What the absences change
Stassin missing pushes Robbie Ure or Isaac Romero into the central role. That is a different finishing profile, not a blank. Marcão's absence is a defensive depth problem rather than a guaranteed starter hole, but it narrows the bench. On the other side, Levante News lists Etta Eyong, Sotelo and Primo among the unavailable or not-ready names, so both boxes are thinner than a full-strength Monday night.
Public evidence can support Sevilla without pretending the forward line is settled. A 2.6 point edge is inside the range where one confirmed XI change wipes the gap. For how we fold news into a price, see how to bet on football with a model.
What could make the number wrong
If Ure starts and looks sharp after Scotland duty, the market may have already priced a Stassin-less attack. If Levante's absences bite harder than Sevilla's, the home side is the one under-rated here. Late team sheets an hour before kick-off still matter more than weekend training reports.
What this does not tell you
It does not say Sevilla will win. On our numbers they fail about 62% of the time. It also does not re-run the Desk with a forced Stassin-out scenario; the published chance is the full research card, not an injury-only adjuster.

Common questions
Is Lucas Stassin playing for Sevilla at Levante?
Unlikely. Club reporting over the weekend had him leaving the final training session and working with rehab staff; Marcão and Iker Muñoz are also out.
Does BAI8 still make Sevilla favourites?
Narrowly. We give Sevilla 37.6%, Levante 34.4% and the draw 28.0%, with a 2.6 point edge at the Betfair 2.86 we saw.
Who is out for Levante?
Spanish reporting lists Karl Etta Eyong, Hugo Sotelo and Alejandro Primo among the absentees or doubts.
