Villarreal CF faces Levante UD in a crucial regional derby, with the Yellow Submarine needing just one point to secure its sixth appearance in the Champions League, while Levante battles to avoid relegation.

Villarreal CF has the opportunity to mathematically seal its qualification for the Champions League in the match against Levante UD. With just one point, the yellow team would achieve this important goal, which previously occurred in the 2005/2006 season, though that was on the final matchday.
The match, to be played at La Cerámica stadium, presents a contrasting situation for both teams. While Villarreal CF seeks European glory, Levante UD is fighting for survival in the league, currently just two points from safety.

"The Submarine, if they manage to draw or win against Levante, will mathematically certify their ticket to the top European competition."

Villarreal CF's strength at home has been key this season, proving to be a solid team that, without needing to shine, secures three points thanks to its attacking talent. The Villarreal CF coaching staff will not hold back and will field the best possible starting eleven, with the return of a vital midfielder after serving a suspension.
Meanwhile, Levante UD arrives with an upward trend since their coach's arrival in December, accumulating 15 points in the last eight matches. One of the uncertainties of the game is the presence of a Levante player, whose participation would trigger a payment of 300,000 euros to Villarreal CF as part of his transfer agreement.
