The action continues in round seven of the Spanish La Liga as Getafe play host to Levante at the Coliseum Stadium on Saturday. This will be the first meeting between the two teams since January 2023, when Julian Calero Fernandez’s men secured a 3-2 victory in their Copa del Rey last-32 clash.
Getafe failed to return to winning ways on Wednesday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Alaves when the two sides squared off at the Coliseum Stadium.
José Bordalas’ men have now failed to win three of their most recent four La Liga matches, losing twice and claiming one draw since kicking off the season with consecutive victories over Celta Vigo and Sevilla.
Despite their recent slump, Bordalas will be delighted with his side’s performance so far as they sit seventh in the league table with 10 points from a possible 18 and could move level with third-placed Villarreal with a win on Saturday.
Trending
Levante, on the other hand, were sent crashing back to earth on Tuesday when they were beaten 4-1 by a star-studded Real Madrid side at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia.
Before that, Fernandez’s side secured their first victory since returning to the top flight on September 20, when they thrashed Girona 4-0 at the Estadi Montilivi.
Having gained promotion from La Liga 2 last season, Levante have picked up just four points from their six games so far to sit 17th in the table, only above Girona, Mallorca and fellow newcomers Real Oviedo.
