Both teams arrive with one win, two draws and two defeats from their last five recent matches. Deportivo have drawn twice in succession after beating VIL 3–2 in early September, while Levante drew 3–3 with Sevilla in their most recent outing. The visitors opened their campaign with a 5–2 win over Real Betis but have since struggled for consistency.

A win would lift Deportivo to thirteen points from nine matches, while Levante would reach nine points from eight with all three points. The market implies a home advantage, giving Deportivo a 45.4 per cent chance of victory against Levante's 26.9 per cent.

Recent meetings have been tight

The last five head-to-head meetings have produced seventeen goals and no clear pattern of dominance. Deportivo have won one, drawn two and lost two of those encounters, with the most recent pair both finishing 2–1 to Levante. The earlier meetings in that sequence ended 2–2 on both occasions, and Deportivo's single win came 2–1 in March 2016.
