Overview

• Kickoff is set for Sunday at 18:30 at the Ciutat de València.
• Both teams arrive level on points after identical starts, with Levante losing to Barcelona and Real Madrid at home and drawing with Real Betis.
• Levante target their first home victory of the season after facing elite visitors, having earned their wins on the road so far.
• Coach Julián Calero, who began his rise as Míchel González’s assistant at Rayo two decades ago, frames the visitors as a model to emulate.
