Getafe vs Levante - 2/12

Eleventh placed Getafe will be looking at an entry in the top half table after this week’s home toe against bottom of the table Levante. The only thing they need to beware about is complacency, the struggling Levante booked their second victory in 3 matches last week when they beat Real Betis a home but if records are to be considered, Levante have not registered a point away from home this season and the chances this time look dull as well. Getafe on the other hand has just lost one match at home and that too against league toppers Real Madrid.

 

Giovanni De Biasi, the new coach for Levante, has started on a positive note for the club and if the team can manage their first away points they can be said to be back in contention and still might just have an escape from the relegation zone. Rigano is stillmissing from the side and his inclusion is a distant possibility but on the other hand the form of Mustafa Riga was good and he looked impressive last week. Levante would also like to make the most of the kind of football they have played over the past few weeks and the form and momentum they have gained.

 

Getafe is a highly attacking side and the match can be patchy with quick turn around and fast paced soccer. With the home crowd and the terrific record there are not many people who fear a loss but Getafe would be looking at the full 3 points and if they are not able to convert them, they will be highly disappointed. Levante on the other hand will be happy with a draw as well and will be hoping to score some more away goals to help their cause and climb their way up the ladder.

 

Prediction: 1-0, Getafe win
