Levante UD midfielder Olasagasti has given a positive assessment of the team's start to the season, especially following last weekend's victory against Betis. The player made these comments in a report published by levante-emv.com on Thursday, September 3, 2026. The granota side currently sits in ninth place in the La Liga standings, with four points from their first three games.
How does Olasagasti rate the start of the campaign?
Olasagasti, a key piece in the centre of the park, highlighted the good feeling left by the first league win. "El centrocampista del Levante UD, Olasagasti ha valorado de manera positiva el comienzo de la temporada del equipo, sobre todo, tras la victoria conseguida el pasado fin de semana ante el Betis," the local outlet reported. This victory helped to correct a league start that had yielded a draw and a loss in the first two matchdays. The team's goal difference as of today is five scored and five conceded, reflecting balanced but improvable defensive performances.
The team faces the fourth matchday with a visit to Málaga's ground, a direct rival in the mid-table zone. This match represents an opportunity to keep adding points and consolidate a comfortable position away from the relegation spots. Fans can check the full schedule on our fixtures page.
What is Levante's current situation in La Liga?
After the opening stages of the competition, Levante UD occupies ninth place. Their record is one win, one draw, and one loss, giving them those four points. Their recent form, reflected in the sequence of results, is win, draw, loss. While the start is promising, the team finds itself five points behind the leaders, Barcelona, a gap they hope to close in the coming weeks.
The squad, which can be reviewed in detail in our squad section, has shown attacking capability but also some fragility at the back. Maintaining solidity will be key to aspiring for more ambitious objectives as the championship progresses. The up-to-date standings can be followed in the standings section.
What challenges does the team have ahead?
The immediate calendar presents important tests. After the match against Málaga, Levante has a series of fixtures that will define their trajectory in the first stretch of the league. The team needs to find greater consistency to climb the table and approach the European spots. Every point counts in a very even league where the difference between mid-table and the upper positions can be minimal.
The next official fixture on the calendar, according to verified data, is a trip to face Getafe on December 20, 2026. The azulón side currently occupies fourteenth place, making that match a clear opportunity to pick up points away from home. This week's training focus will be on correcting mistakes and enhancing the virtues shown against Betis.
