Levante and Valencia have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the La Liga.
- Levante have the most dropped points from leading position (17) in La Liga
- Valencia have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Levante form and stats
Overall La Liga stats at home this season for Levante are 4-7-2 (wins-draw-losses). Two draws in a row at home now for Levante.
Levante are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Real Sociedad. Preceding that match was a Copa Del Rey defeat to Athletic Club (after extra-time) (1-2).
Dani Cárdenas had a busy but productive day in the Real Sociedad match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.
The Levante fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 20 goals in 13 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 17 goals have been conceded.
Valencia form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Valencia so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-7 (win-draw-lose). Valencia seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Valencia are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the La Liga against Villarreal (placed 7th). Prior to that match, the Valencia manager J. Gracia Carlos faced defeat when travelling to Getafe and losing 0-3.
Gonçalo Guedes came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Villarreal last time out, making the manager J. Gracia Carlos feel like a tactical genius. The end of the last match, against Villarreal, was very satisfying as Gonçalo Guedes scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
The visitors have scored 12 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Valencia's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 21 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Valencia - Levante 4-2. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: one win for Levante, three draws and six wins for Valencia. Over 2,5 goals: seven times; under 2,5 goals: three games.Top Goalscorers
