Levante
The team made its Europa League debut in 2012, reaching the quarter-finals before being eliminated in extra time. After being relegated from Primera in 2022, they aimed for a swift return but finished third in the regular season and were knocked out in the playoffs. The following season saw them settle for eighth place.
This campaign began promisingly for the Frogs, as they went unbeaten in their first five matches, earning eleven points. However, they faced a setback with a loss against Zaragoza. They bounced back, securing a 4-2 victory at home against Almería.
Oviedo
