Levante is in the relegation zone and desperately fighting for survival. The team is showing character at home: they have scored in each of their last three matches at the Ciudad de Valencia, including a comeback win over Elche (3-2) and a 0-0 draw with Atlético Madrid. However, their defense remains vulnerable – they have conceded in four of their last five matches, even against the underdogs.
Villarreal is third and boasts one of the best attacks in La Liga (44 goals in 23 matches). Marcelino's team consistently scores on the road – they have scored in five of their last six away matches, including against Osasuna (2-2) and Getafe (1-2). However, the "submariners" regularly concede, giving even the underdogs a chance.
The Valencian Community Derby is traditionally a close contest. The teams have traded goals in three of their last four head-to-head matches. Considering the hosts' motivation and the visitors' attacking potential, a goal exchange seems the most likely scenario.
