Levante have had a tough time of things in recent weeks in the Spanish top flight as the hosts have suffered 4 defeats on the trot in La Liga, but they have a good opportunity to put things right in this upcoming clash against struggling Leganes at their Estadio Ciudad de Valencia.
Recent defeats to Atletico Madrid, Deportivo Alaves, Osasuna and Barcelona have been tough to take and has left Levante in 13th place on the La Liga ladder, but having lost just 3 of their 10 home matches to date in this season’s campaign, Levante stand a decent chance of ending their losing streak this Saturday.
On home turf, Levante have picked up wins against Villarreal, Real Valladolid, a 3-1 victory over Barcelona as well as victories Mallorca and Celta Vigo, so although they’ve hit a bump in the road in recent weeks, the hosts are more than capable of grabbing all three points here.
Indeed, Levante won the last encounter against Leganes 2-1 away from home back in October while being unbeaten in their last 4 meetings at home against Leganes, with the hosts winning 3 of these 4 clashes.
Onto Leganes, and the visitors currently occupy third from bottom in the Spanish top flight and therefore a place in the relegation zone despite their much-needed 2-1 home win against Real Sociedad last weekend.
That victory has moved Leganes level on points with fourth from bottom outfit, Mallorca, prior to this weekend’s action in La Liga, and Leganes will also feel fairly confident of getting something out of this clash as they’ve lost just 1 of their last 7 matches overall.
That defeat came in the shape of a 3-0 loss at home to Getafe but although Leganes have won 3 of their last 4 matches at home, it’s been a very different story away from their Estadio Municipal de Butarque this season as the visitors have still yet to register an away win in this campaign.
With 5 draws and 5 defeats on their travels to date, Leganes look to have their work cut out even against a Levante side who have lost their last 4 matches on the trot as the visitors have actually failed to win any of their last 11 away matches in La Liga.
As Leganes have won just 2 of their last 17 away matches in La Liga, this looks the perfect opportunity for Levante to return to winning ways, but the draw no bet option on the hosts looks the best play here.
