Last minute and result of Levante – Elche CF live
Levante faces a new final on its desperate path to remain in the First Division. They have no margin for error in the derby that opens the day against an Elche that has slowed down in recent times and that has seen its cushion become thinner with the danger zone.
How Levante arrives
Penultimate in the standings and six points away from safety -although with one game less-, the granota team needs its first home win all season. To try, he will not be able to count on Roger Brugué, Unai Elguezabal, Víctor García and Diego Pampín, all of them due to injuries.
Luís Castro could recover Oriol Rey, suffering from knee discomfort, Matías Moreno, sidelined due to fatigue, and Kervin Arriaga, who was suffering from muscle discomfort.
For this “final”, as the Portuguese coach has defined the event, the Levante fans are preparing a special welcome for the team bus.
How Elche arrives
Sarabia’s team is still at the top of the standings, but its eighth place is misleading. In fact, it is further from seventh (eight points) than from relegation (Alavés is five).
Elche, yes, has the option in the derby to attack a direct rival whom they already beat at the Martínez Valero in the first round. As a curiosity, so far in LaLiga, neither the Granotas know what it’s like to win at their stadium nor have the Franjiverdes done the same at home.
In sports, Elche travels with significant losses, as happened last Monday against Sevilla, in addition to Víctor Chust due to suspension.
The duel of the match
Etta Eyong vs Álvaro Rodríguez. The Cameroonian, after his time in the Africa Cup, is looking for the level that made him one of the sensations of LaLiga. Meanwhile, the Spanish-Uruguayan is the reference for Elche’s attack due to the loss of Rafa Mir.
