Mercurial squad Valencia CF (3-3-3, 12 points) continue with their up-and-down season as they host cellar-dwelling team Levante UD (1-5-3, 6 points) at the Mestalla Stadium on October 31, Saturday for a 2015-2016 La Liga meeting.
Nuno Espírito Santo's boys have alternated winning and losing in their last five outings following a draw with Real Betis last September 19th.
Their most recent game was a 1-2 defeat in the hands of Atletico Madrid at the Vicente Calderón Stadium last Sunday, as reported by Sports Mole.
Striker Paco Alcácer scored a second-half penalty kick to put Valencia on the board after Els Taronges went down 2-0 in the first half with goals from Atleti's Jackson Martínez and Yannick Carrasco.
Levante is currently stuck at the bottom of the overall standings after they have won only one game in their last six matches.
Les Granotes are coming off a 0-4 blowout loss to Real Sociedad on Sunday right at their home stadium of Ciutat de València, as per ESPN.
The Frogs were unable to answer the relentless pressure of the Royals as Txuriurdin winger Carlos Vela had a double while forward Imanol Agirretxe and midfielder Asier Illarramendi also contributed one goal apiece in both halves to bury any chances Levante has in the game.
It was Les Granotes' second straight loss and it looks like they are headed to a third consecutive one as Los Che aims to again bounce back from a setback this weekend.
The prediction is a 2-0 conquest for Valencia.
Valencia starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Jaume; Cancelo, Mustafi, Santos, Gaya; Parejo, Perez, Danilo; Gomes, Rodrigo, Mina
Levante starting lineup (5-3-2 formation): Ruben; Morales, Simao, Feddal, Juanfran, Tono; Mari, Camarasa, Lerma; Deyverson, Roger
