Levante, who have the most conceded goals (28) in La Liga, have only managed 0 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses from their games here at Estadio Ciudad de Valencia. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 15 attempts.

It's back home for Levante, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Huracan Melilla away with the result 8-0. Dani Gómez (2), Álex Blesa (3), M. Malsa and Soldado (2) found the net in that victory. As mentioned above, Levante "killed" Huracan Melilla in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. What a game it was for Álex Blesa when beating Huracan Melilla, applying the finishing touch to three goals! Álex Blesa (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 10.0/10. Blesa scored three goals, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 6 times and had 52 successful passes (of 59 total).

Heartbreak before that as Levante lost 1-3 at Real Betis's place.

As you can tell from the results above, Osasuna was very dominant against San Agustin del Guadalix, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Barbero, Roberto Torres, Javier Ontiveros and Chimy Ávila providing the goals.
