A 19:00 kickoff between Levante UD and Getafe CF in Matchday 14 of La Liga BBVA. Both Lucas Alcaraz's and Cosmin Contra’s men lost in their previous outings, against Espanyol and Athletic Bilbao respectively, and both are in desperate need of the three points to lift them out of the relegation zone.
Team news
Levante centre back Héctor Rodas is out with a muscle tear, and Momo Sissoko will have to pass a late fitness test after taking a knock on the knee. For Getafe, Pablo Sarabia is suspended after an accumulation of yellow cards, and Karim Yoda, in spite of having joined full this training this week, will also be assessed late on.
View from the dugout
Levante coach Lucas Alcaraz pointed to Getafe’s stats away from home: "If you look at their numbers, they’re doing very well on the road. With their pace, this is exactly the kind of game that suits them."
For Getafe, Cosmin Contra had this to say of his Monday night rivals: "Levante are a team of battlers, they cover the ground and they're tough. Everyone knows how difficult they are to beat on their own turf."
