Levante starts this game after a draw, with a ball, when he travels to Valencia, thus adding the third consecutive game without winning in this League: the team’s only goal was signed by Gonzalo Melero. Now, in this match against Sevilla, a team of another competitive level, coach Paco López must remain convinced in his 4-4-2 where Borja Mayoral and José Luis Morales are the team’s most offensive references. Roger Martí is Levante’s top scorer with 11 goals scored, however he is absent due to punishment. With the exception of this player, the local administrator can count all of his players.

After 13 wins, 8 draws and 6 losses, the visiting team is currently in 3rd place, with 47 points won. In their last match, they tied with Atlético Madrid away by (2‑2), after in the previous match they had won at home, in a match against Osasuna, by (3‑2).

For the championship, Sevilla conquered 15 points in 30 possible, after 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats in the last 10 games they played as a visitor. In their home league matches the most frequent final result at half-time was 0‑1 (7 in 14 games).

Sevilla is heading to this match with a 2-0 victory against Real Betis, adding the fifth consecutive game without losing in the Spanish league: the team’s goals were signed by Fernando and Ocampos. Without good news to register, Mister Julen Lopetegui should reap the benefits of maintaining possession of the ball and organized attacks: Oliver Torres is the great organizer of the offensive process. Quite possibly, we will see this team lined up at 4-3-3, with Ocampos, El Haddadi and Luuk de Jong being the most advanced men on the team. All players are available for this game.
