Levante Form

Levante had a poor start to the season but have only lost two matches since November. They are undefeated in their last seven home matches in La Liga.

Paco López’s side advanced to the Copa del Rey round of 16 after a penalty shootout win at Fuenlabrada. The match ended 1-1 after extra time but they held their nerve from the spot.

Levante’s last match was a 2-2 draw at Cadiz on Tuesday. They fell behind early, Roger Marti scoring twice to establish a 2-1 lead, and López will be disappointed with a point after seeing his side have 70% possession and 2.01-0.73 expected goals.

Levante Team News

Defensive midfielder Nikola Vukcevic and centre back Rober Pier are injured.

Midfielder José Campaña remains out with a knee injury. Winger Enis Bardhi was an unused substitute in Cadiz as he returns from a muscle injury.

Real Valladolid Form

Real Valladolid are two points above the relegation zone in La Liga. They have been doing their best work on the road where they are undefeated in 7 of their last 8 away matches in all competitions.

Sergio’s side reached the Copa del Rey round of 16 after a 4-1 win at Peña Deportiva. Michel equalised from the penalty spot in regulation time, Roque Mesa bagging a brace in extra time followed by a late Óscar Plano strike.

Real Valladolid drew 2-2 at home against Elche on Tuesday. They were 2-0 down at half time but fought back with goals to Michel and Joaquín Fernández.
