Levante - Barcelona: Match preview
Last season, Levante managed to stay in Spain's top division. The team collected 42 points in 38 rounds, the same as Mallorca, who were relegated. However, thanks to the tiebreakers, Levante finished 16th in the table and managed to preserve their top-flight status. By the way, they had the worst defence in the league last season, conceding 61 goals. In the new season, Levante have produced less consistent results. The team have won once, drawn twice and lost once. They have five points after four rounds, a 5:5 goal difference and currently sit 11th.
Barcelona started the season as the reigning champions of Spain, and their start to the new campaign has been simply outstanding. They have won all four of their La Liga matches this season. Moreover, in three of those four games, Barça scored five goals: 5-0 against Elche, 5-2 against Rayo and 5-0 against Valencia. In addition, Barcelona thrashed Feyenoord 5-1 in the opening round of the UEFA Champions League. They only beat Athletic 2-0. It has been a remarkable start, and the club currently sit top of the table with 12 points and a 17:2 goal difference. They will now try to win the league title again.
