MATCH PREVIEW:
After beginning their pre-season with successive wins against Rennes and Atromitos, Levante has drifted off along the way and are winless in their next 3 matches.
Also
The Spanish side lost to Southampton 1-0 in their previous match as Walker Pieters scored the only goal in the second half.
Levante will be short on confidence and need a good performance as they inch closer to the start to the season.
They will face Elche in their final pre-season match on Sunday.
On the other hand, fellow Spanish opponents Alaves have also not been in good form during pre-season with only 2 wins out of 5 matches.
In their last 3 matches, they have lost twice with a win sandwiched in between.
As a result, they too like their opponents need a major confidence and morale boosting performance tonight.
This is Alaves’ final pre-season match before their curtain raiser against Real Madrid. Hence, a win here is vital for Alaves.
In the last 9 matches between both sides, Alaves has won 5 with 3 draws taking place.
In the most recent meeting, Alaves drew 2-2 against Levante.
Pons broke the deadlock before Morales scored a brace to send Levante 2-1 ahead. Joselu scored three minutes from time to ensure both sides shared the spoils in a thriller.
Line-ups
Levante:
Fdez, Duarte, Postigo, Soldado, de Frutos, Clerc, Miramon, Gomez, Melero, Campana and Martinez
Alaves:
Pecheco, Navarro, Lejuene, Abqar, Lopez, Pina, Sainz, Garcia, Moya, Pons and Guidetti
Prediction: Levante 1-1 Alaves
Both sides are in major need of a win due to poor form and we can expect a tough match from either side.
A draw is the likely result of this contest as neither will want to lose heading into the new season.
