Date: Saturday, 14 December 2019
Kick-off at 12:00 UK/ 13:00 CET
Venue: Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes (Granada).
Granada is home to the second weekend in a row here and they will see this as another good chance to rack up another victory that will fire them back to six, for a few hours at least. They face inconsistent Levante side who are hoping to bounce back from derby desperate last time out.
Diego Martinez Granada has become one of the undisputed story of the season so far in Spain. Little is expected of them when they return to the top flight but they will move to 27 points with a win here and it would be almost impossible for them to get relegated from the position. a strong record of their homes have been critical to their success in Andalusia today an average of 2 points per home game, a record only three sides could be better.
They are against a Levante side who have won twice on the road so far this term but have lost another 6. They had conceded four goals in each of their last two games, the most recent of which was a 4-2 defeat at home to rivals Valencia in their match 2-0. They are probably the most consistent side in the entire division by eight games they are also included victories over Barcelona and Real Sociedad and Getafe a 4-0 defeat and a home defeat to bottom club Espanyol.
Both sides have some selection problems heading into this one. Granada had five players due to injury and may choose to go 4-4-2 here with Roberto Soldado partner with Carlos Fernandez at the top. Levante could match it, but they are sweating over the fitness of Carlos Clerc and Sergio Postigo.
