The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 12 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football.

In their last match they recorded a 3-1 win against Arenteiro. Musah struck first for Valencia in the 1st minute, but Magisano Gonzalez got the equalizer for Arenteiro in the 8th minute. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Valencia should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win each.
Musah has been the most prolific scorer on Valencia in his last 5 matches with 2 goals. Daniel Gomez Alcon has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, hes scored 4 goals for Levante
