Both teams can shine in Valencian derby

The oddsmakers don’t think there’s much to choose between Levante and Valencia for Monday’s derby meeting at the Ciutat de Valencia.

In terms of league position, the hosts are in desperate need of the points to regain contact with the other teams in the relegation zone while Los Che are looking upwards at the shortening gap to the Champions League and Europa League places.

Jose Bordalas appears to have steered Valencia through their worst run of the season – a seven-game winless sequence that dropped them to 11th at one stage. His team have taken 12 points from the last 18 available with notable triumphs over Villarreal, Celta Vigo and Elche and important draws against Atlético de Madrid, Real Sociedad and Rayo Vallecano.

Lots of absentees on both sides

Victory in this one cannot be fully guaranteed with such a long list of absentees with Gabriel Paulista, Lato and Foulquier injured, Alderete isolating, Wass and Maxiby suspended and a doubt over Thierry Correia’s involvement too.

Levante will also be without suspended duo Mickael Malsa and Son while Shkodran Mustafi was injured last Saturday against Espanyol and Nemanja Radoja is unavailable because of Covid-19.

It looks a tough task for a team that have not won at home all season – yet they have fought for draws against the likes of Real Madrid and Atletico. Both teams to score looks a safer play here as 75% of Valencia’s matches since September have seen goals at both ends. Seven of the last eight derby games have also been this way, so there’s a decent historical precedent too.

The correct score forecast that looks best for this is for a 1-1 draw because Valencia’s long list of casualties may prevent them from getting the three points this time.

两支球队都能在瓦伦西亚德比中大出风头

对于周一在瓦伦西亚城举行的德比，博彩公司认为莱万特和瓦伦西亚之间没有太多的选择余地。

在联赛的位置上，东道主迫切需要积分来重新与其他降级区球队保持联系，而洛斯切则期待着与冠军联赛和欧罗巴联赛席位的差距越来越小。

何塞·博尔达拉斯似乎已经带领瓦伦西亚度过了他们本赛季最糟糕的一段时期——七场无胜，一度跌至第11位。他的球队已经在过去的18场比赛中拿下了12分，其中击败了比利亚雷亚尔、塞尔塔和埃尔切，并对Atlético德马德里、皇家社会和瓦列卡诺取得了重要的平局。

双方都有很多人缺席

由于保利斯塔、拉托和弗尔基耶受伤，阿尔德雷特被隔离，沃斯和马克西比停赛，以及科雷亚的缺席，这场比赛的胜利无法完全保证。

莱万特也将缺席马尔萨和孙杨的禁赛，穆斯塔菲在上周六与西班牙人队的比赛中受伤，拉多贾因新冠肺炎无法参赛。

对于一支整个赛季都没有在主场取胜的球队来说，这看起来是一项艰巨的任务——然而他们却在与皇家马德里和马竞这样的球队的比赛中争得了平局。两支球队在这里都能进球看起来更安全，因为瓦伦西亚自9月以来75%的比赛都有进球。最近8场德比战中有7场都是这样，所以历史上也有这样的先例。

最正确的预测应该是1-1的平局，因为瓦伦西亚长长的伤亡名单可能会阻止他们得到3分。
