Levante take on the visitors Alaves in the round 38 match of Spanish LaLiga2. The match will be played on Saturday, April 29th at Estadi Ciutat de València (Valencia).
Levante, after being relegated from La Liga last season, are trying with all its might to return to the top league. Currently, with 62 points in their piggy bank, Javier Calleja's team is in fifth place in the Segunda Division standings, with a three-point gap from the promotion zone. In the last five games, Levante's results have been mixed. On the one hand, they only lost one game to Mirandes (1-2), but on the other hand, they only managed to win against Racing (0-1). The other three matches against Zaragoza, Eibar, and Las Palmas ended in draws. In the previous round, Levante predictably finished their away game against Las Palmas with another draw (0-0). This draw became the 17th for "the frogs" in the current tournament. At home, Calleja's team is relatively stable, with nine wins, six draws, and three losses in eighteen matches at the "Ciudad de Valencia" stadium, with a goal difference of 21-10.

Alaves are having a decent season and has earned 65 points in 37 matches. This point total allows Luis Garcia Plaza's team to occupy the second position in the overall team rankings. At the same time, the density at the top of the table is such that any loss of points could push the team down a couple of positions or, conversely, allow it to take the lead. Recently, Alaves has been demonstrating decent results. After two consecutive minimal wins against Tenerife and Huesca, "the glorious ones" played two back-to-back goalless draws with Andorra and the Huesca-based Sporting. And in the past weekend, they won again at home against Leganes (2-1). Away from home, Alaves has not been very consistent in the current season. Six wins, five draws, and seven losses with 18 goals scored and 19 conceded say it all. In fact, in away games, "the glorious ones" very often lose points even in matches against mid-table teams.
In this confrontation, we can expect anything but a lot of goals. Firstly, both teams have only had one "top-level" game in their last five matches, which only underscores their closed style of play. Secondly, overall this season, Levante has only had 11 matches over 2.5 goals, while Alaves has had 13. Thirdly, the importance of the match, as the Segunda is already entering the final part, and the value of each point is of great importance. It is worth remembering that Levante won the first round match 2-0.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
