Liverpool hosts Manchester City in a Matchweek 6 Premier League clash. The big derby takes place this Sunday, October 11, at 16:30 at Anfield.
Valencia host Levante in a game from 13th ound of the Spanish La Liga. The game will take place on Friday, November 21, at 20:00 UK Time.
Form of both teams
Valencia sit in 17th place with 10 points and are going through a difficult period, something clearly reflected in their recent results. The team has gone seven consecutive league matches without a win, recording four defeats and three draws. Defensive errors remain a serious concern, while the attack lacks creativity and efficiency. Heavy losses such as the 0:4 against Real Madrid, along with missed opportunities versus more manageable opponents like Oviedo and Alavés, highlight the instability within the squad. Valencia often struggle to create clear chances and appear shaky in decisive moments, increasing the pressure on the coaching staff.
Levante are also experiencing a turbulent stretch, although their recent results are slightly better than those of their city rivals. The team has only one win in its last six fixtures - a dramatic 4:3 victory over Orihuela in the Copa del Rey, further exposing defensive vulnerabilities. In the league, Levante suffered heavy defeats to Atlético Madrid and Rayo Vallecano, as well as a costly home loss to Celta. Draws against Mallorca and Leganés show some resilience, but the lack of control and concentration at key stages continues to be a problem. Currently sitting one point behind Valencia, a defeat at Mestalla could push them deeper into the relegation zone.
Prediction for Valencia vs Levante
Both teams enter the derby out of form, but the conditions slightly favor the home side. Despite their struggles in attack and recurring defensive lapses, Valencia generally perform better at Mestalla and manage to create enough chances -even if they fail to convert many of them. Levante, meanwhile, remain inconsistent, concede too easily, and often lose momentum during matches. Their away performances have been particularly shaky, and the defense frequently collapses under sustained pressure.
