GETAFE V LEVANTE
Getafe prepare for this match following on from a 0-0 La Liga draw against Real Sociedad.
In that game, Getafe had 29% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 2 on target. Real Sociedad had 9 shots at goal with 3 of them on target.
A common aspect of more recent Getafe games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.
From their prior six clashes before this one, in 5 of them a wager on "Both Teams to Score" would've been a losing one. Even so, we’ll just have to find out whether that pattern will persist in this upcoming game.
Since tasting defeat last time out to Cádiz in La Liga competition, Levante will be aiming to make amends here.
In that game, Levante had 66% possession and 14 attempts on goal with 7 on target. Cádiz got 8 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Álvaro Negredo (34') and Salvi Sánchez (73') scored for Cádiz.
A series of fairly shaky displays from the Levante defensive unit has resulted in a record of 18 goals being fired past them in only their previous six performances. They certainly could do with sorting out this unimpressive component of their game.
Prediction: Both teams to score
