Levante vs Barcelona Team News

Ernesto Valverde decided to rest a number of his powerhouse players, including Lionel Messi and Luiz Suarez - the latter was not even included into the side that drew 1-1 with Tottenham in midweek - in a meaningless group game at Camp Nou, albeit it was not at all meaningless for the Spurs, who have qualified for the CL last 16 at the expense of Inter Milan.

Barca finished top of Group B and confirmed their last-16 place with two games to spare when they beat PSV Eindhoven 1-2 to make it four wins out of five games at the time. In the league, though, Blaugrana don't look so terrifying, winning nine of the fifteen matches to date, with four draws and twice fewer losses (W9 D4 L2), although they lead the race. Their latest defeat came against Betis in a 3-4 thriller at the Camp Nou and it has since been followed by a draw at Atletico and two back-to-back victories.

Granotas, however, are making some progress. Having finished 15th last term, Paco Lopez' force has evidently definite plans for a promotion to the Europa League qualifying competition. They are 6th now on 22 points, level with Betis, and are being followed by a group of teams who have from 19 to 21 points, starting with 14th spot. It means The Frogs need to hold as tight as possible on to every point if they want to keep the hopes of qualification alive.

One this for sure is, Levante will be looking to repeat what they did against Barca in May this year, particularly forward Emmanuel Boateng and midfielder Enis Bardhi, netting three and two respectively in a 5-4 home riot to the champions - their second-ever success against the 25-time La Liga winners. The triumph may have been helped by a hand of good fortune and now is exactly when we're going to know that. We're backing a refreshed Barca to put it right.
