Already on Friday evening it comes to the small derby between UD Levante and Villarreal!
The two cities are just under 60 kilometers apart. Although for both teams, the games against the bats from Valencia, the true derbies, but also in this duel explosiveness is guaranteed. While Villarreal is by no means satisfied with the 4: 4 draw after a 4-2 lead in front of their home crowd, Levante has also thwarted the start of the season.
In the Basque country, the team had beaten 0-1. In the direct duel on matchday two, there is no favorite for bookies. Between Levante and Villarreal identical odds are offered on the victory. The game starts on Friday at 21 pm.
Levante:
In the past season, the fans were offered a lot at games of UD Levante. After 38 matchdays, the table-15 had. a goal difference of 59:66. This makes an average of no less than 3.29 hits per game. Absolute league record! Even 17 times there were at least four hits to see.
It was Levante on the first match day in the Basque country known to be beaten 0: 1. A defeat, which was quite painful due to the gameplay.
With more than 60 percent possession and more shots on goal dominated the guests at Alaves the game. But the team of head coach Paco Lopez did not bring the round into the square. Ex-Germany legionnaire Joselu scored the only goal of the day. The false start for Levante was perfect.
In order for the team from Valencia not immediately in the relegation battle, are needed in the small derby against neighbors Villarreal counters. The defeat at the end of March against the yellow submarine was actually the last home defeat for the Lopez team. Last season’s six league home games saw two wins and four draws.
In general, the home record was completely balanced with a 6-7-6. As home strong home Levante can not be called. Accordingly, between Levante and Villarreal, we would also distance ourselves from the forecast for the home win.
The guests certainly have more quality to offer. Although Levante has been able to reinforce the squad at times with players like Ruben Vezo, Jorge Miramon or Gonzalo Melero, there is still a difference. The best example is Gonzalo Melero, for whom Villarreal had a right of first refusal, but did not make use of it and let him move to Levante.
Villarreal:
With great ambitions, the yellow submarine launched into the new season. The preparation was largely positive and only one loss had to accept the team of head coach Javier Calleja. Especially offensively, the team was much more dangerous than last season. Without the pressure of the relegation battle, the yellow submarine has regained the playful ease.
Villarreal is playfully one of the teams that offers the fans the most attractive football in addition to the very big top teams. The first season game was also attractive and spectacular. Once again, however, the problems were on the defensive, the Calleja in his term simply can not get a grip.
Veteran Raul Albiol, who was supposed to provide stability as the defense boss, clearly showed in the first game that he has the experience and routine – but the pace leaves something to be desired. Fullback Ruben Pena, also a new signing, was also unable to convince in the debut in the backward movement.
Although the offensive is currently not worrying, Javier Ontiveros of Malaga was signed this week. The 21-year-old winger is probably an anticipation of a departure of top talent Samuel Chukwueze (next summer?). The young Nigerian is on the wing in the 4-2-3-1 system with his pace and his dribbling a constant fuss.
On the defensive, Javier Calleja hopes that Liverpool new signing Alberto Moreno will be fit in time and make his competitive debut to stabilize the back four.
