Match preview
Valladolid winless run in the Spanish top flight continued as they drew 1-1 away Champions-League chasing Sevilla last Friday, with Lucas Ocampos net an equalizer for the home side at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
However, that means that the outcome of Sergio Gonzalez side have tasted defeat only once since the return to Liga action, and Valladolid are nine clear of the last three with six gameweeks left of the 2019-20 campaign.
White and Violet should not be in real danger of relegation at this stage of the season but Valladolid will probably look over their shoulder in their search for their first home win since February.
Gonzalez saw his team suffer a hard race fixtures against top half sides at Atletico Madrid, Getafe and Sevilla in recent weeks, and 42 years old will probably be satisfied with draws against the last two before Wednesday's clash mi -table with Levante.
However, Levante recovered from their defeat in midweek at Atletico Madrid as they defeated Real Betis 4-2 on Sunday.
12th win Levante season means they have only lost one of their last six top-flight league games in Spain, but men of Paco Lopez have little realistic playing this late stage of the season.
Granotas are currently 12th in the table on 41 points - 15 clear of the relegation zone and eight behind the top six, and a late push for the European places seems unlikely for Levante, it is certainly not out of the question for the moment.
Nevertheless, granotas are well placed to improve the final finishing placed in 15 seasons, and if other results go their way in midweek, Levante climbed to 10 in the table with a second win on the bounce.
That said, even if Levante managed to win their last game away against Espanyol in the bottom of the table, Lopez side have triumphed four times on their travels all season.
Two strikes in the last 10 minutes of Sergio Leon and Jose Luis Morales gave Levante a 2-0 win over Valladolid when the sides last met back in August
