For the 18th game of the Primera Division, Levante welcomes Valencia at the Ciutat de Valencia.
Continues Levante to be the only team in the category without a win in the league after 17 games and every week to make the case of staying more and more difficult. Last Saturday was defeated in Barcelona by Espanyol 4-3 and even made a negative record in the history of the tournament as he completed 25 consecutive matches without a win. He fought it anyway, he was ahead twice with the second being at 57΄ but he could not stand it as he accepted the overthrow an equal number of times and left the match empty-handed.
Inevitably Levante remains the tail of the standings in the final of the first round with 8 points and is looking for a big overtime to play and time in the big league.
The bad year had a continuous midweek for the cup, was defeated 3-1 on penalties by Alcoyano (3rd division team) and was excluded from the continuation of the tournament. However, apart from the prestige, the exclusion did not bother her at all as the primary goal is to stay in the category.
Second consecutive victory for Valencia in the championship, the previous match was imposed on Elche with 2-1. It was a fair victory as she was better for most of the match and did not panic when she accepted the draw at 75 ΄, in her initial lead at 23 ΄, and managed shortly before the final to score a second goal and get the three points.
So it has continued its upward trend lately as well comes from an undefeated streak of 6 games that have raised it to 8th place in the standings with 25 points and today has the opportunity with a victory to get even closer to the top four.
On Thursday, Valencia prevailed, albeit with difficulty, against Arendeiro, a fourth division team, with 3-1 in extra time for the cup and qualified for the next phase of the tournament.
Levante is still looking for its first victory in the championship, it is fighting it anyway and definitely based on its performance it would be worth having a few points more. On the other hand, Valencia has been in good shape lately but has now picked up several absences. A local derby that can go anywhere, betting on goals seems to be an easier option as a fast-paced match with many phases is expected.
