Levante vs Deportivo La Coruna

23/12- While Real and Barca fight out this week to try and end at the top of the point’s table season, the same week features a classic bottom table clash between team number 19 and team number 20, Deportivo La Coruna and Levante respectively. Though just a position ahead Deportivo are well clear of Levante in terms of points as when Levante are on 7 points, Deportivo are double at 14. Levante enter this match after 3 continuous losses, the last one being away at Espanyol while Deportivo were able to pull off a draw against a highly ranked Real Zaragoza at home last week and this would be a moral booster for them.

The good thing for Deportivo however is that they have been quite good away from home as they are 19th in total and the worst performing team at home but when it comes to away matches their performance has been the 8th best this season among the Spanish Laliga teams. Deportivo have relied heavily on their awesome threesome to find the net and again the responsibility of a win at Levante would be on the shoulders of Guardado, Jimenez Tejada and Riki. Deportivo would also be aware that a win could possibly help them to increase their chances to get out of the relegation zone and there would be no better opportunity than a weak non performing team like Levante. At the same time Deportivo would also know that loosing the match here could mean that they would be further deprived of chances getting back out of the relegation zone.

Levante have hardly anything left as their campaign this season already appears to have come to a premature end, with no solid performances to lift them and a constant pressure of being eliminated might be to much for them.

Prediction: 0-2, Deportivo win
