Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Levante in 11th and Valencia in 8th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Levante form and stats
Levante are steadily winning La Liga games and points here at Ciudad de Valencia. 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 7 games.
Levante's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-4 versus Valencia (placed 8th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Getafe (0-4).
A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Valencia) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-4.
The Levante fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 7 matches. Levante are not conceding a lot of goals here at Ciudad de Valencia in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 7 matches.
Valencia form and stats

Two travels in a row for Valencia, whose manager Celades could celebrate last time after the La Liga win against Levante. A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Villarreal.
What a finish in the last match, as Valencia came back from being down 0-2 and secured all three points through F. Torres in the 88th minute.
Valencia have scored 8 goals on their travels this season, from 7 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Valencia have conceded 13 goals in their away games.
