Levante UD
Last week, Levante UD went down without much of a fight away to Barcelona (0:3). That defeat was the home side’s fourth in a row in La Liga, although it was only the third time they have lost by a heavy margin in the current league season. The Valencia club’s winless run in the Spanish top flight has now reached five matches, and in four of those five games they failed to score. As a result, Levante UD remain in 19th place in the standings. They are seven points adrift of 17th.
- The club have conceded in 15 of their previous 16 home games in La Liga.
- Six of the last seven home matches for the hosts in this competition have gone under.
- Since the start of the current La Liga season, Levante UD have conceded 44 goals in total, which is the worst record in the league.
Potential Levante UD Lineup (4-3-3)*
Mathew Ryan – Jeremy Toljan, Adri, Alan Matturro, Manuel Sanchez – Oriol Rey, Carlos Alvarez Rivera, Jon Ander Olasagasti – Victor Garcia, Karim Tunde, Ivan Romero.
Midfielder Kervin Arriaga is serving a suspension. Defender Unai Elgezabal, along with midfielders Pablo Martinez and Roger Brugue, are unavailable due to injury.
Deportivo Alaves S. A. D.
On Monday, Deportivo Alaves S. A. D. snatched a draw right at the death in an entertaining home game against Girona (2:2). On the one hand, that result extended the visitors’ winless run in La Liga to three matches (two draws, one defeat). However, across the last five league games, the away side have failed to pick up points in just one match, against Getafe (0:2). It is also worth noting that the club have not kept a clean sheet in La Liga for some time, with the last one coming on 6 December in a match against Real Sociedad (1:0). In the table, Deportivo Alaves S. A. D. sit 14th, with a three-point cushion over the relegation zone.
- At least two goals have been scored in each of the Basque side’s last five league matches.
- The team have conceded in 10 consecutive away games in this competition.
- Deportivo Alaves S. A. D. have not scored more than one goal in 15 of their last 16 away matches in La Liga.
Potential Deportivo Alaves S. A. D. Lineup (4-4-2)*

Levante UD vs Deportivo Alaves S. A. D.: Match Prediction
Levante UD need to climb out of the relegation zone, but their current form does little to suggest they can preserve their place in La Liga. The hosts have not won in five rounds, and since the start of February they have already suffered four straight defeats. Overall, the club have won just four of their last 25 matches in the league this season, with three of those four victories coming away from home. Across their previous 12 home games in La Liga, Levante UD have collected only seven points, which is comfortably the worst record in the competition.
Deportivo Alaves S. A. D. look noticeably brighter in comparison. Although the Basque club are also winless so far in February, they have only one defeat in their last five La Liga matches. Now the team will take on a fairly convenient opponent. Deportivo Alaves S. A. D. beat Levante UD in the first half of the Spanish league season (2:1), and in seven of the last eight head-to-head meetings in this competition the Basque side have at least avoided defeat (five wins, two draws).
Prediction: Deportivo Alaves S. A. D., double chance
