Levante host Albacete at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia in the second leg of the Segunda Division play-off semi-final, looking to get the job done.
The Frogs won the first leg 3-1 in Albacete on Sunday to have one leg in the final.
Mohammed Djetei opened the scoring for the Clockwork Cheese in the 18th minute, but Jorge de Frutos equalized for the visitors just 12 minutes later.
Another four minutes in, and Djetei scored an own goal that put Levante in front, before Frutos scored a second goal after the break to make it 3-1 for the Valencian outfit.
Levante only need a draw in the return leg to advance into the finals, whereas Albacete's hopes of reaching the finals are all but over, unless they manage to win by a two-goal margin on Wednesday.
The winner of the tie will face either Alaves or Eibar in the finals for a place in La Liga.

Levante vs Albacete Prediction
Levante were utterly dominant in the first leg after falling behind and they turned the game around in style. We expect them to take their foot off the gas slightly here, with one eye on the finals. Albacete have done well on the road lately but they do not have enough in the tank to overcome Levante altogether.
We expect this match to end in a low-scoring draw.
Prediction: Levante 1-1 Albacete
