Levante cannot find their game yet. After a brilliant performance in the first part of the last season, the Valencians lost concentration and failed to start a new tournament. In October the management’s patience ran out and Javier Pereira came to the post of head coach, who signed a contract until the end of the season and was called upon to rectify the situation in the team. Before today’s match, the “frogs” are the only team in the Primera that had never won. On the account of the “blue garnet” are six draws, which brought six points and the last place, which team shares with Getafe. It is impossible not to note the worst performance of the team in the defense line, which conceded the most in the league. In the last five rounds Granotos have tied with Getafe (0:0) and Atletico (2:2), while in three duels they have suffered a fiasco. Today Postigo, Rohser, Son and de Frutos, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to play.
The reigning French champion started this season with a victory in the Super Cup, which it took away from PSG, after which it slowed down and lost control of the first position. To date, the “red-blues” have chalked up four wins and draws to their account, which brought 16 points and 12th place in the standings. The weakest link of the team is the defense line, which has conceded 19 times, while the team has systematic problems in attack. On October 3rd, Josselin Gurvennek’s charges defeated Marseille (2:0) at home, followed by two fiascoes and draws with Brest (1:1) and Angers (1:1). The dogs look good in the Champions League, where after four rounds they recorded victory and two draws, which corresponds to five points and the second position in the standings. In the confrontation at Sevilla, Lille scored four points (0:0 and 2:1). Today Botman, Leonardo, Onana and David, who has an eye injury, will not be able to enter the field.
