Barcelona eye quarter-final Berth as they play Levante at home in 2018/19 Copa del Rey 2nd leg
Kick-off : 9:30 PM (Local)
Venue : Camp Nou, Barcelona
Barcelona struggled against Levante when they played in the first leg resulting in a Barca loss. But this time around they will be out their to correct the mistakes.
Barcelona did one thing good in that 1-2 away loss that they managed to get an away goal. Now the work is easy, they just have to win 1-0 at home to progress further.
Barcelona though need to be careful of Levante and should play their best football.
On the other hand, Levante did well by defeating Barcelona and their work is now easy as they just need to hold on to the lead.
A goalless draw will do it for them but it’s easier said then done. They will have to play outstanding football with needing some luck.
Levante have their next three games against Valladolid, Sevilla and Getafe in La Liga.
Team news and possible line-ups
Antonio Luno and Chema Rodriguez will both be not available for Levante for the midweek game as due to injuries.
