Barcelona will take on Levante on Sunday in 2019/20 La Liga as the season moves ahead. Barca start this game as the favourites.
Kick-off : 9:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Camp Nou, Barcelona
Barcelona know they can’t afford slip-ups in La Liga this season as it’s very close and given Real Madrid’s winning run, barca need to win games.
Barca are currently 2nd in the points table after 21 matches 43 points. The goal difference is +25.
Levante shouldn’t be that tough a game for Barcelona especially at home and they must give it their all.
Quique Setien will attack Levante from the outset and look to get as many as he can to boost the goal difference remaining defensively solid.
On the other hand, Levante are having an average season in La Liga and they will look o get positive results moving ahead.
Granotas are currently 13th in the points table after 21 matches with 26 points. The goal difference is -6.
Barcelona away will be tougher than they think and Levante must be up to it to even think of getting something from it.
Paco Lopez will need to be defensively solid and need to attack Barca frequently.
Team news and possible lineups
Oier Olazabal, Nemanja Radoja and Enis Bardhi are all doubts for Levante for the weekend game.
As for Barcelona, Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele are both injured and hence will be unavailable.
