Levante are positioned deep down the table, and the hosts are desperate for points in the relegation battle. With three wins, five draws, and eleven losses from their first 19 league matches, they have accumulated 14 points and sit in 19th place. They are six points behind Valencia, who occupy the safety spot, but Levante do have one game in hand.The defense has been a major concern throughout the season, and 32 goals conceded makes them one of the weakest defensive teams in the league. On the positive side, the team has scored 21 goals ,more than any of the other four teams in the bottom five, and even more than Athletic Bilbao, who are in 10th place.Luis Castro’s side come into this match following a 0–2 away defeat against Real Madrid, but they have suffered just one loss in their last four La Liga matches and have picked up five points during that spell. After delivering a respectable performance at the Bernabéu, there should be plenty of fight in the squad, despite having to deal with several injuries.Diego Pampin, Victor Garcia, Roger Brugue, and Unai Elgezabal are all confirmed out, while Ivan Romero must be assessed after being substituted against Real Madrid.Elche travel to the Estadi Ciutat de València on Friday evening hoping to keep their faint but still alive ambitions of European qualification intact.With five wins, nine draws, and six losses so far this season, they are performing well and currently sit in a respectable eighth place.The gap up to sixth-placed Real Betis is eight points, and the team still harbors hopes of getting involved in the race for a European spot. That would be a remarkable achievement for a club that was promoted last season.

莱万特在积分榜上排名靠后，东道主迫切希望在保级战中获得积分。在联赛的前19场比赛中，他们取得了3胜5平11负的成绩，累计积14分，排名第19位。他们落后瓦伦西亚6分，后者占据了安全位置，但莱万特还少赛一场。防守是整个赛季的主要问题，32个失球使他们成为联盟中防守最弱的球队之一。从积极的方面来看，这支球队进了21个球，比排名倒数五名的其他四支球队都多，甚至比排名第十的毕尔巴鄂竞技（竞技队）还多。路易斯·卡斯特罗的球队在客场0-2不敌皇家马德里之后迎来了这场比赛，但他们在最近的四场西甲比赛中只输了一场，并且在这段时间里拿到了5分。在伯纳巴乌球场有了令人满意的表现之后，球队应该会有很多的战斗，尽管不得不处理一些伤病。潘平、加西亚、布鲁格和埃尔盖扎巴尔都已确定缺席，而罗梅罗在对阵皇马的比赛中被换下，还需要接受评估。埃尔切将在周五晚上前往瓦伦滕西亚球场，希望保持他们渺茫但仍有希望进入欧洲赛场的雄心。本赛季到目前为止，他们取得了5胜9平6负的成绩，目前排名第八。与排名第六的皇家贝蒂斯的差距是8分，球队仍然有希望参加欧战。对于一个上赛季升班马的俱乐部来说，这将是一个了不起的成就。
