Weekend of emotions for Levante supporters
Atlético Levante UD vs. CD Roda. Sunday, 4:00 p.m. Ciudad Deportiva.
Atlético Levante UD will host a direct rival, CD Roda, at the Ciudad Deportiva with the aim of clinging to the promotion playoff spots where they currently stand. The battle to secure a place in this privileged zone is tough, as Levante's reserve team, currently in fifth position, is tied on points with CD Utiel and CF Gandía, sixth and seventh respectively.
Álvaro del Moral's side returned to winning ways last weekend and aims to build on their performance to widen the gap with their immediate pursuers. Their opponent, CD Roda, will arrive at the Granota Sports City with two points less than the blue and reds, also after securing victory in their last match. The encounter in the first half of the season ended in a 2-2 draw.
Valencia CF vs. Levante UD Femenino. Sunday, 5:00 p.m. Camp de Mestalla.
Levante UD Femenino will experience the derby against Valencia CF at the Camp de Mestalla, where a great atmosphere is expected in the stands. The team led by José Luis Sánchez Vera aims to consolidate its position in the upper zone of the standings, currently third, and widen the gap with Atlético de Madrid and Madrid CFF, both closely following with just one point less. Both teams approach the derby with the intention of recovering from their respective defeats in the matches prior to the international break; Levante's women lost against FC Barcelona, while Valencia's women were defeated by Atlético de Madrid.
Levante UD and Valencia CF already played an exciting match in the first round of the competition when the Estadio Ciutat de València opened its doors to host the Teika Derby, which ended with a 3-1 victory for Levante.
