Gameday in Valencia for the derby between Levante & Valencia.

Levante will be without Son & Malsa suspended. Mustafi, Postigo & Radoja are injured.

Valencia will be without Wass & Gomez suspended. Lato, Foulquier, Gabriel Paulista are injured. Alderete is doubtful. Jose Luis Gaya is back from suspension.

Levante is ranked 20 with 8 draws & 9 losses for 16 goals scored & 32 goals conceded.

Valencia is ranked 8 with 6 wins, 7 draws & 4 losses for 26 goals scored & 23 goals conceded.

Very important game for Levante who is in big crisis at the moment, without any win after 17 games, during the week they faced a team from third division in Cup and lost after penalties, they made some rotations of course on that game but it still a bad thing for the team to be out against third division.

Valencia on their side had a very difficult early of season with a moment where they had only 1 win in 11 games but now they are in a really good shape with 6 games in a row without a loss and they faced Atletico, Celta on the road, Villarreal at home so it wasn't easy games.

Early of season was difficult because they changed their coach, Pepe Bordalas was the new one and I think they just needed time. For this game they should use the 4-4-2 I don't see any reason of why the coach would change.

Valencia has much stronger qualities with Carlos Soler, Goncalo Guedes, José Gaya, Helder Costa etc. It's true that defensively the missing of Gabriel Paulista is important but they still have players on the bench who can replace him without too much problems.

Valencia is the stronger team here, in a better momentum, derby are never easy but I expect them to win.

I expect 1-2.
