Team Form and Analysis:
Deportivo Alavés finished 15th in La Liga last season and will be looking for a better showing. Their pre-season has been mixed, with two wins, one draw, and two losses in their last five matches.
The team has seen some changes over the summer, with new signings like former Real Madrid striker Mariano Diaz, Carles Aleña, and Jonny Otto expected to make their debuts. Playing at home, where they have a strong record, will give them a significant advantage as they aim to secure a home victory in their season opener.
Levante, meanwhile, is returning to the top flight after a three-year absence, having won the Segunda División title last season. Their pre-season form has been impressive, with five consecutive victories.
Despite losing some key players, they have also made several new signings and will be looking to their attacking prowess to start the new season with a win. Their recent form suggests they could be a tough opponent for Alavés.
Head-to-Head:
The head-to-head record between these two teams in their last five league meetings is competitive. Levante has a slight edge with two wins, compared to one for Alavés, with two draws. The most recent competitive encounter between the two clubs was a 1-0 victory for Alavés.

Player to Watch:
Deportivo Alavés: The home team will rely on new striker Mariano Diaz to provide a much-needed scoring threat.
Levante: Roger Brugue, who scored 11 goals last season for the Segunda Division champions, will be a player to watch as he leads the line for the visitors.
Prediction:
This is a tough match to call as both teams are evenly matched. While Levante has had a better pre-season, Alavés’ home advantage and a strong desire to start their season on a high note may give them the edge. A tightly contested and low-scoring match is anticipated, with Alavés slightly favored to secure a narrow victory.
