Levante take on the visitors Barcelona in the round 31 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, April 10th at Estadi Ciutat de Valencia (Valencia).
Levante spend almost the entire season to the struggle for survival. Two changes of the coach finally brought improvement. In the last 7 rounds there were only 2 defeats, Athletic with Osasuna - both times 1-3 on the road. At the same time, the outsider sensationally defeated the reigning champion, Atletico, in the winter. Then points were gained with Celta, Elche, Espanyol. This streak helped, but not so much – the team is still in relegation zone and distance to Cadiz, who are on the “safe” 17th place, as many as 6 points, and there are not so many matches left - the chances of relegation are still high. And only victories, especially at home, will lower them.

Barcelona won’t admit it, but their focus should shift to the Europa League. In the first leg of clash against Eintracht a goal by Ferran Torres allowed to escape a defeat – 1-1. Now they need to win the reverse fixture at the Camp Nou. The team shows nice results in LaLiga and managed to crash Madrid with devastating score 4-0. There were also victories over other strong opponents, Atlético and, in the last round with Sevilla. After those 1-0 at the Camp Nou against White Andalusia, the Catalans managed to reach 2nd place. But it is obvious that it is impossible to climb any higher and the place in top-4 should not go anywhere.
A little less than a year ago, last May, Levante managed to take a 3-3 draw. Moreover, Barcelona have only won 3 of their last 5 matches against the Frogs. Levante was left without 5 players - Gomez, Duarte, De Frutos, Clerk and Soldado. Barcelona has no less personnel problems: Depay, Dest, Luc de Jong, Sergi Roberto, Fati and Umtiti will definitely not play, Pique is also in question. The bookmakers are confident in Barcelona's victory, and the question remains how big the win will be. It is worth stopping at the offer with a handicap of -1.5 goals
Prediction for the match: Barcelona to win with -1.5 handicap.
