Levante preview: Fighting Levante
Levante have been much-improved since the appointment of former Nantes boss Luis Castro as they begin this midweek round of fixtures sitting just four points adrift of safety.
The Valencians most recently managed to defeat European chasing Getafe by a goal to nil at Estadio Ciutat de Valencia about ten days or ago, with Carlos Espi scoring a late winner before Zaid Romero was then sent off for Getafe in second-half stoppage-time.
Sevilla preview: Struggling Sevillanos
Sevilla head into this midweek still in the relegation battle in La Liga as they sit just two points above the drop zone, with the Andalusians having struggled even after the appointment of Luis Garcia Plaza.
However, Luis Garcia Plaza did manage to oversee a desperate and much-needed 2-1 victory over a heavily changed Atletico Madrid side in their most recent outing, courtesy of strikes rom Akor Adams and Nemanja Gudelj.

Levante vs Sevilla prediction
Levante’s defeat of Getafe last week means that the hosts have now succumbed to just one defeat in their lasts six defeats in La Liga. The hosts head into the final seven games of the campaign in an excellent position to pull off something of a ‘great escape’. Sevilla will be a team in immense danger if Levante pull the victory of, especially with their home advantage, and so siding with the Valencians would appear a good value bet for this one.
Levante vs Sevilla tip: Double chance – Levante to win or draw
