Levante, who became the first team to be relegated from La Liga this season, will host Deportivo Alaves at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia on Sunday.
The hosts were humbled 6-0 by Real Madrid in their previous game, with Vinicius Junior bagging his first career hat-trick for the capital club. It was Levante's first loss in three games but was a decisive blow in their quest to stay up.
Alaves, 19th in the standings, secured a narrow 2-1 win over Espanyol to keep their top-flight hopes alive. This is a must-win game for them, as they face 17th-placed Cadiz in their final league fixture.
If Cadiz lose against Real Madrid on Sunday, Alaves and Cadiz will square off in a nail-biting game next week, with the winner maintaining their top-flight status.

Levante vs Alaves Prediction

While away form has been a concern for Alaves this season, they have an impressive record at Sunday's venue, suffering just one defeat since 1996. In a closely contested affair, the visitors should eke out a narrow win as they try to remain in the top flight.
