Key Players and Tactical Angles
For Levante, Iván Romero is one of the clearest attacking reference points, while the midfield has to give Luís Castro enough control to avoid spending long spells defending close to goal. The return of Axel Tape also strengthens the coach’s options after the international break.
Sevilla arrive with more depth restored to the squad. Kochorashvili adds an extra storyline against his former club, while Agoumé, Fofana, Ejuke, Peque and Isaac give Luis García Plaza different options between midfield and attack.
The tactical battle should centre on control of possession and transition moments. Sevilla’s coach has specifically stressed the importance of controlling the game against a dynamic Levante side, while Levante need to make home advantage count without becoming stretched.
