Levante vs Barcelona Prediction & Betting Tips (23 August)

Back in the elite two years after going down to the lower level, Levante will have a lot to do in the maintenance race. For their baptism of fire, the granotes moved to the lawn of the Deportivo Alaves last weekend and when they thought they were holding the parity score, they finally conceded the 2-1 defeat. By receiving an opponent like Barça today, it is a safe bet that Levante does not unlock her points counter. As a reminder, Levante returns to Liga with a label of liga champion hypermotion. Advocated on the Ile de la Palma to challenge Majorca as part of the 1st day of the championship, Barça was easily assured of the essential, that is to say the 3 points of victory 0-3.

However, the task quickly became easy with the expulsion of Morlanes and Muriqi even before half-time. We can even say that Barcelona did not really respect his opponent by inflicting "that" 3 goals, which is, the average of goals scored by Barça last season in Liga. Champion of Spanish reigning, the Culers will be keen to return to the championship but also the King Cup and finally, the Champions League, which has escaped the Catalan house since 2015 now. 

Transferred from Partizan Belgrade, the Honduurienne Kervin Ariaga recruit did not play the first match due to an injury. He is not the only one who has missed the start of the school year. Indeed, the loan of loan Alan Maturro (Genoa), the recruit in the middle Olasagasti and the replacement goalkeeper Alfonso Pastor are injured and potentially absent for this gala match against Barça. Loaned by Lens, Koyalipou would not have been scored by La Liga and therefore, probably forced to spend his first six months outside the match sheets if no solution is located by the end of the transfer window. Still in the Mercato department, let us note the departures of Giorgi Kochrashvili (Sporting), Alex Fores (Oviedo), of the Taulier Vicente Iborra (37, end of career), from the middle Angel Algobia (2 goals in 23 appearances last season), of the titular goalkeeper Andres Fernandez (Almeria) and Marcos Navarro (Valence). Like Elche, the recruitment envelope was hardly crowded but the board of the 2nd division champion still managed to afford Koyalipou therefore (Lens), Olasagasti (Sociedad), Manu Sanchez (Celta Vigo, ex-Alaves too), Maturro (Genoa), Toljan (Sassuolo), Victor Garcia (Eldense) Arriaga (Zaragosse) and Matias Moreno (Fiorentina), all landed in the form of a loan. Movement to declare with Barça who aligned a check for 25 million to sign the very promising goalkeeper Joan Garcia from the Espanyol Barcelona before seeing Marcus Rashford arrives and recruited Roony Bardghji from Copenhague. On the departure deck, Clément Lenglet was definitely sealed at Atlético Madrid, Pau Victor sold in Braga, Pablo Torre in Mallorca and Ansu Fati in Monaco on loan.

Recently, it was Inigo Martinez who packed his bags to sign in Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. Raphinha, Lamine Yamal and the Ferran Torres shark were the three scorers of success against Mallorca. Robert Lewandowski, Marc Bernal, Hector Fort, Gerard Martin are unavailable (injury) while boys like Ter Stegen (first captain), the interim goalkeeper Szczesny and the recruit Bardghji would not yet be registered with the liga lists. The probable compositions for Levante - FC Barcelona: Levante: P.Campos - Toljan, Dela, Elgezabal, Cabello, M.Sanchez - Garcia, Rey, Martinez - Ivan Romero or Alvarez, Brugué.fc Barcelona: Joan Garcia - Eric Garcia or Jules Koundé, Araujo, Cubarsi Pedri - Yamal, Dani Olmo or Fermin Lopez, Raphinha - Ferran Torres.
