Malaga vs Levante Form
Malaga's return to the top flight has been a grind. One point from three outings leaves them rooted to the bottom, and they rank 20th of 20 for both standing and form. Protecting a lead is their one real strength, but finishing chances remains a stubborn weakness that has cost them.
Levante are the side in better nick, sitting 10th on both the table and the form guide. A 5-2 win over Real Betis last time out showed their attacking edge, and finishing chances, attacking set pieces and getting at teams down the wings are all listed among their key strengths for this trip.

Malaga vs Levante Talking Points
This is a clash of contrasting starts. Malaga, promoted in June, are propping up the table after one point from three games and carry a lengthy injury list into it. Levante, under Luis Castro, sit tenth and arrive full of confidence after putting five past Real Betis. History muddies the pick, though: Malaga are unbeaten in their last 10 home meetings with Levante, yet the visitors are undefeated in the last six between the sides in all competitions. Cards are worth watching too, given Levante have picked up 2+ in 9 of their last 10 against Malaga.
