After a slow start to the La Liga season, Levante will go in search of their first win of the campaign upon their return to league action on Saturday, when they play host to newly-promoted Rayo Vallecano.
The hosts collected just two points from their opening three games and will hope to come back refreshed from the international break, while their visitors rounded off the first round of games with a 4-0 thrashing of Granada.
We say: Levante 1-0 Rayo Vallecano
Despite their tough start and the visitors' eye-catching victory before the international break, Levante still come into Saturday's game as favourites, and we back them to get over the line.
With a clean slate and a good chance to bounce back, Lopez's men should have enough to scrape past the newly-promoted side and earn a three-point haul.

Upon the return from the international break, Athletic Bilbao and Mallorca will both look to extend strong starts to the La Liga season when they clash on Saturday.
The hosts come in with five points from their first three league outings, while their visitors have already earned seven points after winning promotion last season.
We say: Athletic Bilbao 1-0 Mallorca
With two of La Liga's unbeaten teams squaring off, this could be one of the weekend's games to watch, and we certainly expect a close encounter.
The hosts boast the better squad, and while Mallorca have been very impressive defensively so far, we would back Marcelino's men to find a way through and come away with a narrow victory.
