Every day that passes the matches are more transcendental in Levante. After 20 official matches without knowing the victory, 12 so far this season, The Granotas face Alavés, a team they have not been able to beat at Mendizorroza in the First Division.
Curiously, these two historical Spanish football crossed paths for the first time in the top flight in 2017-18., practically a decade after their last crash, on February 22, 2009 in Segunda, and they have only played eight games in the elite.
In their matches played in the First Division, Levante has only been able to beat them once, at the Ciutat de València on September 30, 2018. In Vitoria, in four games in the First Division, they have only scratched one draws. He did it precisely last season on matchday 35, with the team already immersed in the current results crisis. The rest, defeats.
The granotas, the only team that has not added three so far in the league, cling to the reaction against Alavés to stop his fall in the classification and make a dent in a direct rival. The rope is getting tighter and tighter and the situation tightens.
Javi Pereira has recovered troops and, with a hopeful break to work, it is an ideal moment to hit the table. However, added to the current earnings crisis, history is against it. But this is football.
