- Venue: Estadio de Mendizorroza
La Liga returns this weekend at the Estadio de Mendizorroza, where Deportivo Alavés host newly promoted Levante.
Back in the top flight for the first time since 2023, Levante face a defensively solid Alavés in what is likely to be another low-scoring encounter.
With both sides eager for a positive start, a cagey affair looks on the cards.

La Liga
Deportivo Alaves and Levante have faced each other on 13 occasions since 2018. Alaves won six of those games, while Levante picked up three victories.
Ten of their last 13 meetings also finished with fewer than three goals scored, including a 1:1 draw in their most recent meeting in a friendly fixture last year.
Deportivo Alaves team overview
Deportivo Alaves kick-off their La Liga campaign after failing to win any of their last three pre-season friendly fixtures. Eduardo Coudet's side slipped to back-to-back 1:0 reversals against Huesca and Girona before a goalless draw against Eibar last weekend.
After last season's 15th placed finish, another tough season could be in store for a side that struggles in front of goal. Coudet's men scored just 14 goals in 19 home games last season.
Low-scoring outcomes have become the norm for Alaves. An average of just 1.63 goals were scored in their 19 home matches last season while under 2.5 goals were scored in all but one of their 15 previous games.
Head coach Coudet has several new faces available for selection. Former Real Madrid forward Mariano Diaz is set to make his debut this weekend.

Levante team overview
Levante face their first La Liga fixture since 2022 in high spirits after a decent pre-season following their title winning La Liga 2 campaign. The Frogs won three and lost just one of six friendly fixtures in the past month.
A strong run of form has seen Julian Calero's men win seven and lose just one of their last ten fixtures since the end of last season.
Like the home side, Levante have been involved in several low-scoring encounters this year. Each of their last seven games finished with under 2.5 goals scored. Only nine goals were scored in those seven fixtures.
Head coach Coudet has eight new faces available for the trip to the Estadio de Mendizorroza this weekend. Jeremy Toljan and Manu Sanchez are among those expected to make their competitive debuts for the Frogs.

- Deportivo Alaves have seen under 2.5 goals in 14 of their last 15 matches

- Levante have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 7 matches
