Levante UD vs FC Barcelona - 10/04/2022
3314
The final match to be played in La Liga on Sunday the 10th of April will take place at Estadio Ciudad de Valencia as Levante welcome Barcelona. The hosts begin the weekend bottom of the table on 22 points while the visitors are in second place on 57 points.
Levante come into the match on the back of a good 2-0 home victory over Villarreal last weekend. Both goals came in the second half, with Levante scoring in the 69th and 90th minute to take maximum points.
It was the first victory in 4 games for Levante. Two of the previous 3 matches ended in defeat, with a 3-1 loss at both Athletic Club and Osasuna. Sandwiched between those defeats was a 1-1 draw at home against Espanyol.
Home form in La Liga shows Levante are undefeated in their 3 most recent fixtures. There have been victories over Elche and Villarreal plus a draw with Espanyol.
However, Levante have won only 3 of their last 20 home league matches and that is why they find themselves at the bottom of the table.
In fact, Levante have achieved just 5 wins in their 40 most recent games in all competitions, which is a poor record.
Despite having problems defensively, Levante have been scoring goals of late and they have scored at least 1 goal in each of their last 8 La Liga matches.
Barcelona make the trip to the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia having been held to a 1-1 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League on Thursday night. Barcelona fell a goal behind in the 48th minute but scored the equalising goal 18 minutes later.
That result means Barcelona are undefeated in their last 18 matches in all competitions and they have recorded victories in 8 of their 10 most recent games.
Barcelona are in great form in La Liga and have won each of their last 6 league fixtures and are undefeated in their last 14.
Away form in the league shows Barcelona are difficult to beat and they are undefeated in each of their last 11 on the road. They have won 4 of their last 5 away La Liga matches, including each of their last 3.
Barcelona have been scoring plenty of goals when playing away in La Liga and have scored 2 or more goals in their 4 most recent away trips.
Team news and Levante have a significant injury list. Shkodran Mustafi, Martin Caceres, Oscar Duarte, Jorge de Frutos, and Carlos Clerc are out plus there are doubts over the fitness of Roberto Soldado and Daniel Gómez.
Barcelona have doubts over the fitness of Sergino Dest and Sergi Roberto. Memphis Depay and Luuk de Jong are both unavailable.
The recent form of Barcelona means they could play anyone in La Liga right now and win, as shown in the recent victory at Real Madrid. Levante could find the back of the net in this game but Barcelona must be favourites to take maximum points.
