Alavés Preview
Alavés did not start the month of December very well. They suffered two consecutive defeats, one against Granada by a score of 3-1, and another one against Tenerife by a score of 2-1. Losing those games meant that they dropped positions in the general table, and that they had to surrender the leading position. Despite that, it remains one of the most efficient teams in the season, as it is one of the five teams with the most wins in 19 games, with a total of nine wins, seven draws and three lost games.
The gap between Alavés and Las Palmas, who is the current lider, is of just one point, so getting a win in this game could help them retake the top spot. They must make use of their home advantage, where they have yet to lose after nine games, as they count with six wins and three draws.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Antonio Sivera; Nahuel Tenaglia, Aleksandar Sedlar, Nikola Maras, Rubén Duarte; Jason Remeseiro, Carlos Benavides, Toni Moya, Luis Rioja; Taichi Hara, Rober González.
Levante Preview
Levante left behind the inconsistency it experienced, changed its course, and now the positive results keep coming their way. They are on a 10-match undefeated streak, and they have recently had two clean sheets in a 1-0 win over Malaga, and a 0-0 draw with Ponferradina.
The failure to win against one of the worst teams of the campaign may raise some doubts, but what is really worthwhile is that they are consistently adding to their tally. The team now has 32 points after 19 games, with eight wins, eight ties and three lost games. Levante has been doing a good job on defense, and it is the third team with the third lowest number of goals allowed (13).
Probable lineup (4-5-1): Dani Cardenas; Francisco Hidalgo, Roberto Suarez Pier, Ruben Vezo, Alex Munoz; Vicente Iborra, Pablo Martinez, Jorge De Frutos, Jonathan Montiel, Alejandro Cantero; Mohamed Bouldini.
JefeBet Prediction
These teams have enough caliber in their lines to compete against each other and seek the victory, so there is no clear favorite to win this Alaves vs Levante match. However, it should be brought back to memory that Alavés has three consecutive home victories, and if they add the fourth one, they could reach the 10 undefeated games at home.
Prediction: Alavés win by a score of 2-1.
