Levante – Elche

Match analysis

Levante host Elche in what promises to be a pivotal clash in the lower reaches of the table, with the home side sitting 13th on five points after one win, two draws and two defeats, having scored seven and conceded nine. Elche, languishing in 19th place with just two points from two draws and three losses, will be desperate to turn around a campaign that has seen them net six while letting in 13. The gap between the two teams is stark: Levante’s modest point tally keeps them within touching distance of safety, whereas Elche’s meagre haul leaves them hovering just above the relegation zone. A positive result for Levante could see them climb out of the mid‑table scramble, while Elche will need a turnaround to keep their survival hopes alive. Both sides will be keen to improve their head‑to‑head record, which has offered little relief for the visitors so far.
