Levante form and stats

When playing at home in the La Liga, Levante, who have the fewest clean sheets (1) in La Liga, have managed 4 wins, 4 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 9 games.

Levante's previous game was a Copa Del Rey match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Villarreal (after extra-time) (placed 5th). The home side are looking to build on that result. A strong away win before that one, visiting Real Madrid and winning 2-1.

Dani Cárdenas loved the game against Villarreal (after extra-time). With a stunning eleven saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 1-0 victory. Manager F. López Fernández felt very clever after Roger Martí scored the winning goal against Villarreal (after extra-time), having brought on that player as a substitute in the 66th minute. A late climax in the match against Villarreal (after extra-time) as the winning goal came one minutes into overtime; scored by Roger Martí.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Levante have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won six, drawn five and lost one.

Levante have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estadio Ciudad de Valencia with 16 goals in 9 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Levante have conceded 12 goals. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Granada form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Granada, who have the the worst goal difference (-13) away in La Liga, so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-6 (win-draw-lose).

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Copa Del Rey home defeat versus Barcelona (after extra-time) with 3-5 on the scoreboard. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Celta de Vigo.

Leading 2-0 was not enough for Granada in their fight with Barcelona (after extra-time) last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 3-5 loss. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Granada, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? It's a bit worrying for Granada that their goalkeeper Aarón Escandell made 14 saves in the Barcelona (after extra-time) game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Granada playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were two Granada wins, four draws and three defeats.

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Granada have conceded 21 goals in these games.
