The 2020-21 edition of La Liga is back in action with another important set of fixtures this weekend as Real Valladolid take on Levante at the Ciutat de Valencia on Friday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and will want to take it up a notch in this match.
Real Valladolid are currently in 16th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best this season. The Valladolid outfit played out a 2-2 draw with Elche earlier this week and have plenty of work to do ahead of this fixture.
Levante are in 11th place in the La Liga table at the moment and have shown glimpses of their potential on a few occasions this season. The Valencia-based side was held to a 2-2 draw by Cadiz in its previous game and will want to bounce back against Real Valladolid.
Levante vs Real Valladolid Head-to-Head
Levante have a good record against Real Valladolid and have won six matches out of a total of 15 games played between the two teams. Real Valladolid have managed four victories against Levante and can potentially trouble their opponents in this match.
The previous game between the two teams took place in November last year and ended in a hard-fought 1-1 draw. Both teams failed to make the most of their opportunities on the day and will want to do a better job this weekend.
