Deportivo Alaves will play a La Liga match against Levante on Sunday, December 13, 2026. The game will be held at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia in Valencia.
The Basque side approaches this fixture motivated to overcome the last meeting between the two teams, which ended in a 2-0 victory for Levante on February 27. The squad managed by Luis García Plaza is ending the year strongly, sitting fourth in the table with 7 points from three games, thanks to a record of two wins, one draw, and zero losses. Their recent form reads win, draw, win.
How is Alaves performing ahead of this match?
Alaves has an initial season record of one win, one draw, and one loss. However, their most immediate streak is more positive, with two victories, one draw, and zero defeats in their latest outings. This solid start has seen them score 5 goals and concede just 1, achieving a goal difference of +4. The team is only 2 points behind the leaders, Barcelona, highlighting the strength of their campaign opening.
One factor to consider is the absence of striker Toni Martínez, who will be unavailable for the clash against the Granotes. Before thinking about December, the team has a very important immediate commitment: hosting Osasuna, who are fifth in the table, on September 6 at Mendizorrotza.
What happened in the last Alaves vs Levante match?
The memory of the last encounter is not pleasant for the Alaves supporters. On February 27, Levante won 2-0 in a La Liga match. That result left a feeling of unfinished business that the team will try to settle in this new visit to Valencia. The December match therefore presents a clear opportunity for revenge in a stadium that was hostile to them last time.
What is Levante's current context?
The opponent, Levante, shows identical numbers to Alaves at the start of the league: a record of 1-1-1 and an identical streak of 2-1-0. This promises a very even match between two teams that have demonstrated similar performance in the opening weeks. The parity in the numbers suggests the game will be decided by details and the coaches' ability to read the flow of play.
The match will take place at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia, although the kick-off time is still to be determined.
What is the next step for Alaves?
The immediate focus for Deportivo Alaves is not on December, but on the upcoming league match on September 6. On that day, the team will host Osasuna at Mendizorrotza, a direct rival occupying fifth place in the standings. A good result against the Navarrese side would be the best boost to face the rest of the calendar with confidence, which includes this trip to Valencia at the end of the year.
The match against Levante on December 13 is marked on the calendar as a key challenge in the first half of the competition.
