Valencia vs Levante Preview

Valencia and Levante renew their regional rivalry on Friday evening at the Mestalla, with both sides desperately seeking improved form in La Liga. The hosts enter this fixture having drawn 1-1 away at Real Betis in their most recent outing, a result that represented something of a recovery following a heavy 4-0 defeat at Real Madrid. Prior to that loss at the Bernabéu, Valencia had recorded an impressive 5-0 victory away at lower-league opposition Maracena in the Copa del Rey, though their league form shows just one win from their last five competitive matches. Earlier in this sequence, they suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Villarreal and managed a goalless draw at Alavés, leaving them with an inconsistent record of one win, two draws and two losses across their last five fixtures.

Levante’s situation appears even more troubling, with the visitors arriving at the Mestalla having lost 3-1 away at Atlético Madrid in their most recent match. That defeat continued a difficult run that has seen them claim just one victory from their last five outings. Prior to that loss in the capital, they fell 2-1 at home to Celta Vigo, a particularly disappointing result on their own patch. Earlier in this sequence, Levante did show signs of attacking prowess with a 4-3 victory at lower-league Orihuela in the Copa del Rey, while they also secured a 1-1 draw away at Mallorca in La Liga action. However, a comprehensive 3-0 home defeat to Rayo Vallecano underlined their defensive fragility, leaving them with three losses, one draw and one win across their last five matches.

The historical meetings between these two Valencia-based clubs show a relatively balanced record, with Valencia holding two wins compared to Levante’s one victory, alongside two draws from their last five encounters. Most recently, the sides played out a 1-1 draw at the Mestalla in April 2022. Prior to that, Valencia claimed a thrilling 4-3 away victory at Levante in December 2021, while Levante secured a 1-0 home win in March 2021. The earlier fixtures saw Valencia win 4-2 at home in September 2020, with another 1-1 draw recorded in June 2020.

Friday’s encounter represents a crucial opportunity for both teams to climb the table and build momentum. Valencia will look to capitalize on home advantage and their superior head-to-head record, while Levante need to rediscover defensive solidity if they’re to stem their recent slide. The match kicks off at 20:00 GMT, with Spanish fans able to watch on DAZN Spain, Movistar+ and DAZN LaLiga, while international viewers can tune in via Premier Sports in Great Britain or beIN Sports across the Middle East.
