Levante arrives chaining a streak of 5 consecutive games without winning in the Santander League (2 draws and 3 defeats), a dynamic in which it comes from drawing away against Granada (1-1) and at home against Celta (1-1 ), after having lost in a row against Athletic Bilbao (2-0), Real Madrid (0-2) and Sevilla (1-0).
As a local, Levante does not know what it is to win this season (1 draw and 1 loss), so they face this day with the intention of achieving what would be their first victory at home against a direct rival for permanence. In this case, if he got the 3 points, he would have the option of escaping from the relegation places as he was only 1 point away from the permanence zone (Celta, 17th).
Levante presents these numbers in Liga Santander:
– Classified in 18th position with 5 points after 7 days played.
– At home they have 0 victories, 1 draw and 1 loss with 1 goal in favor and 3 against.
– As a visitor, he presents 1 victory, 1 draw and 3 losses with 6 goals in favor and 9 against.
Regarding the line-up, Levante will have the withdrawal of Cheick Doukouré [Achilles tendon rupture]; as well as the doubts of Nikola Vukcevic [injury to the adductor] and José Campaña [discomfort not determined].
Alavés:
Alavés arrives without having lost in 3 of their last 4 Liga Santander matches (2 wins and 1 draw), a good dynamic of results in which they come from drawing at home against Barcelona (1-1), from beating Valladolid (0-2), of being defeated by Elche (0-2) and of beating Athletic Bilbao (1-0). They had previously failed to win in their 4 previous meetings (2 draws and 2 losses).
As a visitor, Alavés has ended winning by 2 defeats in a row, so he hopes that this day he can achieve a new victory that allows him to maintain his current positive trajectory of results, which leaves him located 3 points away from Levante (18th), his rival this day and the team that marks the relegation zone.

– Classified in 14th position with 8 points after 8 days played.
