Prediction

• There is no denying that it is crisis time at the Estadio Benito Vilarmarin. Nothing less than three points at home to the Valencians will suffice, though it will not be easy.
• Mel is sure to ring some changes following his side capitulation against Atletico Madrid, but with so many players still unavailable he does not have a great deal of options.
• But, the home side will take hope in the fact that their home form has been much better though, at the same time, Levante have taken more points on the road this season than at home so it might just cancel out.
