Levante – Malaga

Match analysis

The home side sit 13th with five points from one win, two draws and two losses, having scored seven while conceding nine, whereas Malaga languish in 17th place on three points, unbeaten in three matches but still winless, with a meagre two goals for and eight against. The two teams have already met twice this season, each game ending in a stalemate, underscoring how tightly matched they are despite the disparity in points. Levante will be looking to turn their modest goal tally into a win to climb out of the relegation zone, while Malaga will need to sharpen their attack if they are to avoid slipping further down the standings.
