The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Levante take on Deportivo Alaves on Saturday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and will want to win this game.
Levante are in 19th place in the La Liga standings and have struggled to make their mark this season. The Valencia-based side suffered a 3-0 defeat against Granada last weekend and cannot afford another debacle on Saturday.
Deportivo Alaves, on the other hand, are in 17th place in the league table at the moment and have also failed to hit their stride this season. The Basque side held Barcelona to an admirable 1-1 draw last weekend and will want to take it up a notch in this match.
