Levante host Elche on Saturday night in a clash between two Spanish second division sides level on 21 points.
Levante are playing their third consecutive season in the Segunda Division after their relegation from La Liga in 2021-22. The Frogs came close to returning to the top flight in 2022-23 when they finished third before losing the Play-offs to Alaves, but things didn't go so well last season. Calero Fernandez's side finished eighth last term and are currently just one place above that position. They have two games in hand over their visitors, though.
Elche meanwhile are in the Segunda Division for the second season running. Los Franjiverdes needed to give their fans something to cheer about this term after finishing in eleventh place last season. They have managed to do so in recent weeks, with the team losing only one of the last seven games across all competitions and boss Sarabia will hope that form continues this weekend.
Levante vs Elche Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
The two sides have met five times in the Segunda Division. The most recent meeting took place in March this year and ended 3-1 in Elche's favour. However, that was the only game in the last 16 H2H encounters between Levante and Elche to produce more than two goals.
Elche have also been solid at the back in recent weeks. Eder Sarabia's side finished seven of their last ten games in all competitions without conceding a goal and almost as many games ended with two goals or fewer.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Levante vs Elche prediction: 0-0

Levante team news
Head coach Julián Calero Fernández is unlikely to make any major changes to the side that started the 2-1 win over Granada at the end of last month.
Iván Romero has found the back of the net three times this season and is expected to lead the line on Saturday, while Pablo Martinez (two goals and an assist) will retain his number 10 role.
