Football Results

This duel can be called a derby, because the teams are very close to the relegation zone, but it is very important to say that Alaves has eight points more and they are in a much better position than Levante which is just above the relegation zone and before this round, they have only one point more than that zone. Alaves is in good form at the moment, and they have three wins and two defeats in the previous five rounds, from very strong rivals. Levante is 13 rounds without a win, so it is no surprise they have fallen low on the table. In the first part of the season, Alaves has defeated Levante with 2-0.

Alaves

Alaves does not have a longer positive series, but we can still say that this team is still quite good lately. In the second half of the season they were defeated three times, but by Athletic as guests in Bilbao, in Barcelona, ​​and in the last round by Real in Madrid. It is clear that they have a lot of justification for these defeats, and we should say that they have managed to defeat Sevilla in the second part of the season.

After the defeat at Nou Camp, they made three minimal wins, two of which were at home and one away against Villarreal, which also shows that they are in good shape. They should not be thrown out of rhythm by that defeat with 4-0 in Madrid. Compared to that match, Aguirregabiria could now return to the right back, Pina and Ibai Gomez in the midfield, and Munir to the top of the attack.

Probable lineups Alaves: Pacheco – Aguirregabiria, Laguardia, Ely, R.Duarte – Manu Garcia, Pedraza, Pina, Ibai Gomez – Guidetti, Munir

Levante

Levante’s crisis continues and occasional unresolved results will not help this team survive, although one draw was played against Real in Madrid. They need victories and they have achieved only three so far, the last in the middle of November, and since then they have played 13 championship matches without a triumph. As a result, the situation on the table is still good and they still have realistic prospects to avoid elimination. Of course, they have to celebrate some victories and it can be said that their duel against Betis might have been a good opportunity, but they have lost in their field with 2-0.

It was the third consecutive defeat and it is a miracle that they still did not replace their coach Muniz, however, his position is certainly compromised. After losing to San Sebastian with 3-0, they have several changes in that composition. Everything was the same in the last line, while the chance was given to new players in midfield and attack, who were unable to score again. That is why Pazzini should now return to the top of the attack, and Ivi to midfield.

Probable lineups Levante: Olazabal – Coke, Chema, Postigo, Luna – Doukoure, Lerma, Ivi, Morales – Pazzini, Roger

Verdict:

Alaves plays much better and they lately lose matches only from the strongest rivals, and are especially good on their field. Levante is desperately bad both at home and away, so we expect their new defeat in this match.
