In leagues all over the world, there is a constant battle to maintain your best among the very best. Most teams win this battle while a few lose out. This would definitely be on the minds of Sevilla and everyone in the club when they welcome Levante on Saturday.
Sevilla is a team in the champions’ league places. There has been no doubt that Sevilla has had a wonderful season at least in the league so far. They have managed to sneak into the top four and would be hoping to cement their place with a win against Levante. They have acquired at least 33 points out of 20 matches. With that amount of points, they sit 4th in the league. They are no doubt helped by the fact that the La Liga seemed more evenly matched this season. Thus, the gap in points is not as much as they used to be. Sevilla would also be having on eye on Real Madrid as they are just three points off them. Any slip up would see them close the gap and nurture real hopes of leapfrogging them into 3rd place in the league.
Levante is a team right in the middle of the league (literally). Their attention would no doubt be on ways to achieve growth which would naturally mean a place in the continental spots. They have managed to acquire 26 points from the last 20 matches that have been played in the league. With that amount of points, they sit 10th in the league. They are three points away from a continental spot in the league. They would be hoping to score a great victory when they visit Sevilla which would help them push further in the league this season. They would also be wary of the fact that they are just 5 points away from the drop despite their position. They would be looking for ways to ensure that they stay out of the relegation battle for as long as they can.
One thing which makes a match interesting is no doubt their recent form. The recent form of both teams helps us to understand that anything can happen in this match. Sevilla despite their position has won only two matches in their last six. In fact, they are just coming out of a three unbeaten streak. However, they managed to beat Barcelona in the cup tie and would be confident of their ability to do the same here. The other matches have ended in three losses and a draw
Levante has also won just two out of their six games. The other matches have also ended up in three losses and a draw. It is clear that both teams are currently experiencing the same run of form. It would be interesting to see what team would take the leap and push on with their campaign with this game in focus.
Sevilla is no doubt favorites for their ability and position. However, Levante would always pose a threat to their ambitions.
