Nine years ago “Levante” achieved maximum success in Primera, when they managed to take the sixth place in the standings. In the last championship, which turned out to be crumpled due to the coronavirus and became the longest in history, the “blue garnet” remained in the shadow of today’s rival and took 12th place. Hosts held their second ever Cup semi-final this year after a break of 85 years. Both games with Athletic ended with a score of 1:1, but in extra time the Basques’ nerves turned out to be stronger and they made it to the final. After 26 rounds in the La Liga championship the “frogs” have seven wins and 11 draws, which brought 32 points and 11th position in the standings. After a successful performance in January, Granotos lost concentration in the last five rounds and won only one victory over Atletico (2:0), two draws and in the last round the away Valencians could not cope with Real Sociedad (0:1). In the infirmary of team are Robert Pierre, Postigo, Campania, Leon, Melero and Radoya.
Borussia is frankly failing the season. Marco Rose’s team was clearly betting on a ticket to the Champions League, but so far it is far from its goal. At the moment, the Foals are in 10th place in the table with 33 points, being 10 points behind the fourth Eintracht Frankfurt. Such a handicap will be very difficult to win, given the presence of Bayer and Borussia Dortmund in competitors. The foals won their last victory at the end of January. Then Borussia from Dortmund fell with a score of 4:2. After that, “Borussia” flew out of the German Cup, giving way in the semifinals to teammates from Dortmund, also practically lost their chances to advance further in the Champions League. A 0:2 defeat to Manchester City looks like a verdict. In the last round of the Bundesliga, Borussia lost 0:1 at home to Bayer, thus suffering their third consecutive defeat in the championship. In general, the series without victories reached the mark of seven matches. Apparently, they can already forget about the ticket to the Champions League.
