Levante will face Elche at the Ciudad de Valencia on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 La Liga 2 campaign. The home side, who sit seventh in the table with 21 points, have had mixed results this season, although they have been out of action since last month due to adverse weather conditions in the city of Valencia.
They faced Granada in their most recent outing, winning 2-1, with Giorgi Kochorashvili and Pablo Martinez getting on the scoresheet to hand the Granotes a two-goal lead heading into the break before their opponents halved the deficit in the second half.
Elche saw their strong run of form come to an end last weekend in a 2-1 home defeat to Almeria and had started the game on a positive note, with Jose Salinas drilling home an early opener before their opponents turned the game on its head in the second half.
The visitors sit eighth in the league standings with 21 points from 14 matches and will be looking to add to that tally on Saturday.
