Levante V Barcelona - Lins -Ups, Statistics and Overview -

Overview of the match for Levante V Barcelona

The Champions of Laliga Barcelona go to Valencia on Saturday evening to face newly promoted Levante, who is back in the elite after winning the Segunda division title last season.

Levante’s return to the big stage did not start as planned, because they fell 2-1 against Alaves the opening weekend-a disappointing result since the two parties should be involved in the relegation scrap.

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

As for the men of Hansi Flick, they spent the last Mallorca 3-0 of nine men in their opening match. The first goals of Raphinha and Ferran Torres set the tone before Lamine Yamal added a third late.

Already seated at the top of the table, Barça seems just as dominant as last season, when they scored 102 goals en route to the title. With Marcus Rashford added to their firepower, little expect them to slow down.

Team news for Levante against Barcelona

Levante misses the goalkeeper Alfonso Pasteur through an injury, while Jon Ander Olasagasti, Kervin Ariaga, Godduine Koyalipou and Alan Maturro remain doubts.

Jeremy Toljan, who marked the beginning against Alaves, should keep his place on the right, with a new signature Manu Sanchez on the opposite flank.

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

Barcelona remains without Marc-Andre Ter Stegen due to a back problem. Robert Lewandowski has returned to training after a problem with the hamstrings, but can only do the bench as a precaution.

Jules Kounde should arrive at the right back, the rest of the XI probably unchanged from the Mallorca’s victory. Ferran Torres is expected to continue in the middle after marking the last time.
