4 years ago 657

Levante and Getafe meet this Saturday at the Estadi Ciutat de València stadium and are the only remaining teams in the Spanish top flight to record at least a single win sitting in the relegation zone ahead of Matchday 9.

Levante have only picked up four points from their opening eight matches of the campaign to sit 18th in the table. New boss Javier Pereira and his men aim to put an end to their three-game losing streak coming to this match, with the team still gunning for their first victory of the process. Levante did not get to the net in the three defeats to Celta Vigo, Barcelona and Mallorca.

Levante have drawn four and lost four of their opening eight matches of the season to collect four points in the 18^th position on top of their opponents in this fixture. Levante lost 1-0 on the road the last match-day’s fixture against Mallorca. This recorded their nine game winless run and five of these being defeats. Levante come to this match with a weak defense having not kept any clean sheet in the last 12 encounters across all competitions.

Getafe on the other hand just like Levante, also changed their manager over the international break, after the disappointing start to the campaign, which has left the club bottom of the table with just a point. The 56-year-old, Quique Sanchez Flores has returned for a third spell in charge and will be looking to help the club start winning.

Getafe lost their opening seven league matches of the season against Valencia, Sevilla, Barcelona, Elche, Rayo Vallecano, Atletico Madrid and Real Betis managing the point in the previous match against Real Sociedad before the international break.

The last time these two teams locked horns with each other, Getafe recorded a 2-1 win at home but they have not beaten Levante on their travels in La Liga since January 2012.
