Derby of Valencia city is of no importance for the team of Levante, but for the «Bats» it could mean survival. It`s a humiliating «success» of Valencia squad, but there`s no helping it now, they deserved nothing better. It`ll be one of the least important games of 37th round.

Friendly «derby»

This game, as well as previous 4-5, is of no significance for Levante. Ever since they lost mathematical possibility of survival, each of their games game became «friendly». It was bound to happen when they got around 15 points off the follow-up team, early in first half of championship. In the Valencia derby the only thing to look up to is what goal difference Valencia will win by, thus securing their survival. They are preparing for a major sell-out of players failing to live up to management`s expectations, and the money gained should provide for signing over of few experienced and quality players from 2nd league, capable of helping the team rejoin elite next spring. With few young and perspective players of their own, Levante might easily make it back to 1st league soon.

Levante for survival

Who could dream Valencia, one of the 4 major candidates for the title, would fight for survival in 2nd to last round against city rivals? Such a poor season for the club is unheard of in last 3 decades. A minimal win over Zaragoza, after last week`s true disaster against Barcelona, brought «Bats» to one step from survival, and it could be reached on Sunday at their city rivals home soil. It would probably be the case, and many will be relieved. Not even winning Copa del Rey would diminish fans` disappointment. A general make-over is expected among Valencia squad after the finish of championship. Many players are to leave the team forever after quite a few years and a new coach, as well as reinforcements needed for getting back on tracks of success, will show whether it`s a reachable or farfetched ambition.

Betting verdict

It`s a game looked at with no passion by neither fans nor the players. Both teams are finishing the season with their heads down and the overall impression of failure is more than obvious. In a situation like this, it`s hard to expect more than a «routine» game, which Valencia would most certainly win. Away win.
