Levante hosts Valencia in round 27 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, March 12th at Estadi Ciutat de València (Valencia)
Levante missed its strong chance. The Frogs were one step away from the cup final. In the first leg, they tied with Athletic Bilbao at San Mamés. And Roger Marti, the team leader (10 goals scored in LaLiga), opened the scoring already in the 17th minute of the home match. But probably, the Basques under Marcelino Garcia Toral like no one else know how to arrange comebacks. First, Raul Garcia leveled the score, and Berenguer scored the winning goal already in the extra time. As a result, the club from Bilbao advanced to the Copa del Rey final. And Paco Lopez's charges need to switch to the championship in the spring. But there is especially nothing to fight for – Levante is far from the top-7, and the risk of being relegated is theoretical. Can the last defeat to Real Sociedad be explained by the simple lack of motivation among the Frogs?

Valencia faced a new and unusual challenge. Accustomed to fighting for trophies and playing in European Cups and even the Champions League knockout rounds, now the Bats found themselves on the verge of relegation to Segunda. But the team gradually managed to improve the game and gain points more or less regularly, especially in the last rounds of La Liga. Six last matches brought 10 points. The Bats tied with Athletic Bilbao away and beat Elche and Celta. Last Friday, the team of Javi Gracia managed to gain a comeback victory over ambitious Villarreal (by the way, another geographical neighbor). Gerard Moreno opened the scoring from the penalty spot at the end of the first half. But the ending turned everything upside down - first Soler converted a penalty, and then Guedes drew attention to himself again. It was Gonzalo who brought an important victory to the Bats in the 91st minute.
Valencia has been playing well against Levante lately. The Bats have not lost to their neighbor in seven consecutive matches. At the start of the current season, they gained a 4-2 victory at home. Now Valencia is in good shape, but Levante under Paco Lopez is also dangerous. We recommend betting on an exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
