This is not a very attractive duel, but the match is very important for both teams and it practically decides whether the survival battle will have an interesting ending, or will it all be resolved practically after this duel. Levante is in a position above the relegation zone, while Las Palmas is first below the line, however, the difference is seven points and if the host wins, it will probably be an unprecedented advantage, while in the case of a win of the guests, the situation complicates. Levante is currently in a better form, and they also celebrated in the first match as guests with 2-0.
Levante has grabbed a good form and it seems at the right time, so they could preserve their status in their comeback season in La Liga. They looked good in the first part of the championship, so they would fall into a long-lasting crisis, so they are 15 rounds without a win, and so they fell to the position they are now in. However, they have not been defeated in the previous four rounds, and now it is now a series that allows them to play more peacefully and perhaps they after this round end all worries about survival.
They played four matches with teams that are not under the imperative and they are mostly in the middle of the table, which they used to defeat Getafe and Eibar and play a draw with Espanyol and Girona in the last round. They have a large number of players on the injured list, and new are Boateng and Jason, so coach Lopez has to change the starting lineup again.
Probable lineups Levante: Olazabal – P.Lopez, Postigo, Pier, Coke – Lerma, Campana, Morales, Ivi – Marti, Pazzini
There is no salvation for Las Palmas but maybe it will be, but only if they win this game. However, how to expect it after a series of eight games without a triumph and the fact that they only won once at home this season and scored just seven goals in the 15 matches outside of their stadium. They also have one of the worst defences in the league that receives more than two goals per game on average and have the worst goal difference. And that last triumph was accomplished against the written off Malaga at the beginning of February. Since then, they have played four draws and four defeats and only scored four goals.
They can boast that they played a draw with Barcelona, while they did not manage to do it all again with Real, which defeated them easily in the last round with 3-0, even though the guests did not play in the strongest composition. Previously, they played a draw with La Coruna and it was a result that did not suit any of the teams. Galvez has returned to center-back position against Real and that was the only change compared to the match against Deportivo, while now Ximo has no right to play because of the suspension and D.Garcia will again be in the team.
Probable lineups Las Palmas: Chichizola – Michel, Galvez, D.Garcia, Aguirregaray – V.Gomez, Etebo – Momo, Halilović, Aquilani – Calleri
Although the points are very important in this match, we do not expect this to be a closed game, because Las Palmas must still look for a win and therefore they have to attack. Levante is the host and they are aware that victory is a great step toward survival and they must respond.
Pick: over 2.5 goals 2.0
