Nervous top table potboiler in La Liga 2 as Levante have travelled the 1242 miles needed to confront Las Palmas at their Estadio de Gran Canaria.

Insights:
  • Las Palmas have the most clean sheets (19) in La Liga 2
  • Levante have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (10) in La Liga 2

Levante have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
