Levante, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 1-2 La Liga 2 triumph over Granada.

In that match, Levante had 42% possession and 12 shots at goal with 8 of them on target. For Levante, the goalscorers were Giorgi Kochorashvili (18') and Pablo Martínez (31'). On the other side, Granada got 17 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. Ricard Sánchez (58') scored for Granada.

It has been a rare occasion in recent times that Levante haven’t conceded. The reality is that Levante have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 7 goals during that time. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, however.

Coming into this fixture, Levante have not been beaten in the league by Elche CF in their previous 4 games.

Elche CF

Since a losing effort in their last game against UD Almería in La Liga 2 competition, Elche CF and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that game, Elche CF had 58% possession and 19 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. The scorer for Elche CF was José Salinas (4'). Almeria had 11 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. Dion Lopy (37') and Luis Suárez (54') scored for UD Almería.

A succession of very capable displays by the Elche CF defence has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 3 from their last 6 outings in total. During the same period, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 9.

Ahead of this meeting, Elche CF have not been beaten in their last 2 league matches away from home.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Elche CF must be fancied to breach the defence of this Levante side, but that probably won’t quite be enough to avoid defeat.

We reckon that it will be a close game with a 2-1 victory for Levante at the end of the match. It’s a very tough call.
