Levante will entertain league leaders Eibar at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia in an interesting Segunda Division clash on Sunday (December 18).
The hosts are in third place in the standings, trailing Eibar by just one point. Levante will replace the visitors at the top of the table if they win this game. Levante picked up their second win in three games last time around. First-half goals from Mohamed Bouldini and Francisco Javier Hidalgo Gomez helped them to a 2-0 victory over Alaves.
Eibar, meanwhile, have won their last three league games. In their previous outing, Peru Nolaskoain's 69th-minute strike helped them overcome Oviedo at home. With only two points separating first-placed Eibar (36) from fifth-placed Alaves (34), the visitors must secure a win to stay top of the standings.

Levante are on an 11-game unbeaten run in the league and are expected to continue their fine form. They have not lost at home this century against Eibar, which augurs well for their victory hopes.
Eibar, meanwhile, have picked up three straight wins, all by one-goal margins. They have just one win against Levente since 2016 and could struggle, though.
