Real Oviedo climbed provisionally off the bottom of the La Liga table with a 3-0 win at Celta Vigo on Sunday to give them hope they can avoid relegation.
The Asturian side secured their sixth win of the season and third from their last four matches to move within five points of safety. Levante, who dropped to 20th, host Getafe on Monday.
Alberto Reina opened the scoring for the visitors at Celta's Balaidos stadium, with Federico Vinas adding a brace to secure three potentially vital points on the road.
Defeat was a blow for Celta, sixth, who could not capitalise on fifth-place Real Betis's 1-1 draw at Osasuna earlier on.
