The 2020-21 edition of La Liga returns with yet another round of games this weekend as Levante take on Deportivo Alaves at the Ciutat de Valencia Stadium on Sunday. Both sides have been very inconsistent this season and need a victory in this game.
Deportivo Alaves have plenty of work to do ahead of this game and will view this weekend as an opportunity to build a streak of positive results. The Basque side held Barcelona to a 1-1 draw last weekend and hold the slight upper hand going into this game.
Levante are in the relegation zone at the moment and will need to take it up a notch to survive in La Liga this season. The Valencia-based outfit secured a 1-1 draw against Granada in its previous game and needs to be at its best this weekend.
Levante vs Deportivo Alaves Head-to-Head
Deportivo Alaves have an exceptional record against Levante and have won six games out of a total of nine matches played between the two sides since the former's promotion to La Liga. Levante have managed only one victory against Alaves and are in desperate need of a morale boost.
The previous game between these two sides took place in January this year and resulted in a hard-fought 1-0 victory for Deportivo Alaves. The Basque side has been impressive this season and has a point to prove going into this fixture.
