Levante V Barcelona: alignments, statistics and preview

Party preview for Levante V Barcelona

The champions of LaLiga, Barcelona, travel to Valencia on Saturday night to face Levante recently promoted, who returned to the first flight after winning the title of the Division of Second last season.

Levante’s return to the big stage did not begin as planned, as they fell 2-1 to Alaves on the opening weekend, a disappointing result, as both parties are expected to be involved in the relegation scrap.

The story is also not on his side: the frogs have won only six of their 45 meetings with Barcelona, although they passed the Catalans 5-4 in a nine goals thriller in 2018.

As for Hansi Flick’s men, they relieved the past of nine men Mallorca 3-0 andn his opening party. The first goals of Raphinha and Ferran Torres set the tone before Lamine Yamal added a third late.

Sitting at the top of the table, Barça seem to be as dominant as last season, when they scored 102 goals on the title. With Marcus Rashford added to their fire power, few expect them to slow down.

Team news for Levante V Barcelona

Levante is missing the goalkeeper Alfonso Pastor due to injury, while Jon Ander Olasagasti, Kervin Arriaga, Goduine Koyalipou and Alan Matturro are still doubts about fitness.

Jeremy Toljan, who made a debut against Alaves, should keep his place to the right, with a new signing Manu Sanchez on the opposite flank.

Roger Brugue, who scored 11 goals last season, ran the line.

Barcelona remains without Marc-Andre Ter Stegen due to a back problem. Robert Lewandowski has returned to training after a hamstring problem, but it can only make the bench a precaution.

It is expected that Jules Kounde will enter the right, with the rest of the XI that probably did not change the victory of Mallorca. Ferran Torres should continue in the middle after marking the last time.
