Head-to-head statistics Levante - Alaves
Levante UD Team Overview
🔵 The "Frogs" have been stuck in the relegation zone for a considerable time, with no signs of improvement on the horizon. Valencia's club has suffered four consecutive defeats in La Liga, leaving them seven points adrift from the crucial 17th spot. Given Luis Castro's side's inconsistency, bridging this gap seems a daunting task. It's also noteworthy that Levante possess the league's poorest defense, conceding an average of 1.76 goals per game. Interestingly, the "Frogs" also rank lowest in home performance, having secured just 7 points from 12 matches.
🔴 In their last La Liga outing, Levante failed to deliver for their fans, suffering a 0-3 defeat against Barcelona. This result came as no surprise to followers of Spanish football. Currently, the "Frogs" struggle to compete against more skilled opponents. Their strategy of playing defensively to close down spaces ended in disaster, as the "Blaugrana" comfortably dismantled their defensive setup through the blistering pace of their wingers. Levante have now gone three matches without scoring, a worrying sign for the coaching staff. Carl Etta Eyong remains their top scorer with 6 goals and 3 assists in 23 league appearances.

Deportivo Alaves Team Overview
🔵 Despite lacking flair, the "Glorious" consistently pick up points. Over their last five La Liga matches, Alaves have suffered just one defeat, falling to Getafe (0-2). The club from Vitoria-Gasteiz excels in counter-attacking football, using long passes to bypass opponents' pressing and quickly create chances in the attacking third. Currently, the "Bean Destroyers" sit 14th in the league table, three points clear of the relegation zone. Alaves' average stats show a scoring rate of 0.92 goals per game, while conceding 1.28.
⚪ Last weekend, Alaves played out a 2-2 draw with Girona at "Mendizorrotza." Eduardo Coudet's side narrowly avoided defeat, with Lucas Boye equalizing in the 89th minute. The Argentine forward emerged as the match's standout performer, netting a brace. Over 19 appearances in this La Liga campaign, he has scored seven goals, the best tally at Alaves. Eduardo Coudet favors a passive style of play with a slow build-up in attack, prioritizing defensive compactness. The team operates with a 4-4-2 formation, which simplifies their approach without requiring additional instructions.

📰 Just recently, Carlos Espi extended his contract with Levante. The 20-year-old Spanish forward is highly regarded, and his stay at the Valencia-based club is now secured until at least 2028. After renewing his contract, he spoke with journalists: "My family and I are very pleased with this news. At every away game they attend, I always try to take a photo with them. Just seeing them there brings great joy. We train very well every day and give it our all because we aim to deliver victories and secure three points for the fans. The team feels the support of the fans, and their backing is crucial to achieving our goals. We have four finals coming up, three of which are at home. The fans are with us, and we need their support to secure victories."
❌ Among Levante's unavailable players are Kervin Arriaga (suspension), Roger Brugui (knee injury), and Pablo Martinez (knee injury).
Deportivo Alaves
🎤 Alavés goalkeeper Antonio Sivera recently spoke to the press, sharing insights about the team's condition as they approach the final stretch of the season. The Spanish shot-stopper remarked, "I know where we stand, I know who we are when I look at the badge, and I understand that we must be exceptional to win a La Liga match. Every point, every victory matters. I believe it's crucial to value these things. Above all, we need to recognize what we're playing for every weekend, which I think is vital for the city and for us to keep the team in La Liga. This year, I think we're all aware of this. We're battling, we're among those eight teams fighting tooth and nail, and I believe we shouldn't step back; we must continue and improve. That's exactly what we're doing. After so many years, I feel like one of them. Alavés has given me everything; it feels like I've been here my entire life. Ultimately, it's my first and only club in the professional realm, and I think that speaks volumes about the affection I have for Alavés."
❌ Among Alavés players unavailable for the upcoming match is Mariano Díaz (coach's decision).
⚽ Goal Prediction
Neither team boasts a highly effective attack: Levante averages 1 goal per game, while Alaves manages just 0.9. It's also worth noting that in 4 out of their last 5 head-to-head encounters, no more than two goals were scored. Our editorial team anticipates a chaotic match with plenty of tussles. Therefore, we don't expect a high-scoring affair. Our pick is under 2.5 goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In 5 of the last 7 meetings between these sides, there have been no more than 10 corners. This trend is also evident in most of their recent matches this season. Additionally, it's important to consider the average number of corners each team earns this season: 5 for Levante compared to 3.5 for Alaves. Our choice is under 10.5 corners.
Editorial Prediction
Expecting a fast-paced showdown in the upcoming match might be overly optimistic. Historically, head-to-head encounters between these teams have been low-scoring affairs, and their current form doesn't suggest a goal fest either. Our editorial team anticipates a hard-fought battle, but not many goals. We predict a final score of 1-0, with the key bet being on total goals under 2.5.
