Getafe vs Levante: Will the Citizens Move Away from the Relegation Zone?

The twenty-third round of the Spanish La Liga will begin with the match between Getafe and Levante, the outsiders. Moreover, the visiting team, judging by the results of the current championship, will leave the Spanish elite division, given the sad position of the Frogs.

In the New Year, Getafe played four matches in La Liga, scoring 7 points, losing only to Sevilla on the road, beating Real Madrid and Granada, and drawing against Real Sociedad. An excellent result for a team from the bottom of the standings allowed Getafe to move up to a respectable 16th position. The gap from Cadiz, located in the relegation zone, is 4 points. The Citizens looked decent against Real Madrid and Real Sociedad teams. Logically, the Blues are quoted as the favorites in the home match against weak Levante. At the moment, there is no guarantee that Getafe will retain its place in the elite, so there is no need to talk about the high motivation of the Citizens in the upcoming meeting. As for Getafe's home statistics are 11th in the division, with five wins in 11 games with a goal difference of 14:11.

In three games in 2022, Levante scored only three points, beating Mallorca, an outsider just like the Frogs themselves, 2:0. This victory preserved the chances of Levante for a place in La Liga. However, the gap between Mallorca and the saving zone is large, 9 points. It is hard to believe that the Levante side will regain such a handicap. Besides defeating Mallorca in 2022, Levante lost to Villarreal 0:5 and Cadiz 0:2. Levante has the worst passing-through rating in the division, with 43 conceded goals in 21 games. The Levante's away statistics are not encouraging, with no wins, two draws, and eight defeats in 10 games.

In the first round of the current La Liga, Levante and Getafe played out a nil-nil draw on the Frogs' field. The upcoming match will also be tense and probably not very rich in goals. Although Levante concedes a lot, Getafe cannot boast of high efficiency. The Citizens sometimes break through, as they did against Granada, but games involving the Blues often end inconclusively, regardless of where Getafe plays, home or away. As for the outcome, Getafe is the obvious and logical favorite of the meeting. The Citizens in 2022 remind themselves of the best times. We bet on the victory of the home team.
