Barcelona vs Levante PREVIEW & PREDICTION 13/12/2020

Barcelona:

The season for Barcelona is being very difficult, marked by a very pronounced irregularity and a defense that overflows with fragility everywhere.

They are in the middle of the table, which for Barcelona is a failure. Last weekend they lost to Cádiz 2-1, in a bad game by Ronald Koeman’s men.

On Tuesday they received Juventus from Turin with 1st place in group G of the Champions League at stake. It was worth it to Barcelona with maintaining the 0-2 in the first leg, but the Italian team won 0-3 to leave the Catalans in 2nd place and give them a new displeasure.

Therefore the match is presented as a final for Barcelona that would raise too many ghosts if victory is allowed to escape.

Ansu Fati, Gerard Piqué, Sergi Roberto and Dembele will not be there.

Koeman could form the eleven with Ter Stegen in goal; defense of 4 with Jordi ALba, Lenglet, Mingueza and Dest; ahead of De Jong and Busquets; ahead Leo Messi with Coutinho and Pedri in the bands; and as a forward he would have the confidence of the coach once again, Antoine Griezmann.

Barcelona presents these numbers in the Santander League:

Ranked in 9th place with 14 points after 10 rounds;
At home they have won 3 games, drawn 1 and lost 1, with 15 goals in favor and 6 against;
Average 2 goals for and 1.1 against;

Lift:

After adding a very important victory last day against Getafe, Levante ended a streak of 5 consecutive draws that all went to 1.

They played their best game of the season against Getafe, winning 3-0 with goals from Roger, Gomez and Frutos.

Now the Granota team has the difficult task of dealing with a mortally wounded Barcelona in which there is much to prove.

The Levante line-up could be made up of Aitor Fernández in goal; Clerc, Postigo, Vezo and Coke in the rear; Melero, Vukcevic, Rochina and De Frutos in the midfield line and Roger and Dani Gómez in attack.

Ranked 17th with 11 points after 11 rounds;
