Getafe vs Levante Predictions and Betting Tips
Getafe welcome Levante to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez looking to pick up their fourth win in six Spanish top-flight games this Thursday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
Both sides settles for a share of the spoils in the reverse match back in October, however, Levante have a narrow 14-12 lead on the head-to-head side of things in this fixture.
The visitors in desperate need of a positive result
Getafe, with 22 points amassed heading into this game find themselves just four points off the 18th-placed Cadiz. This is quite a precarious position to be in as we divulge into the second half of the season, however, their recent form has been one that suggests that they would open up a healthy lead on the relegation zone pretty soon. With just one loss in their last eight league games, they've shot themselves up to 16th place on the league standings. Last time out, they would've been pleased with their performance away at the Reale Arena, holding Real Sociedad to a goalless stalemate.
Levante head into this game in stark contrast with the Valencia-based side currently at the bottom of the standings after 21 league games played. Having managed their first league win of the season via a 2-0 home victory against Mallorca at the beginning of the new year, they were quickly brought back down to earth by Cadiz who inflicted to them the exact same scoreline just before the international break. Levante is in their fifth straight season in the Spanish top-flight and taking into account their dismal form on home soil and most especially away from home, their top-flight status is at huge risk.
