The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of Levante lock horns with Xavi's impressive Barcelona side at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia on Sunday.
Levante vs Barcelona Preview
Levante are currently in 19th place in the La Liga standings and have struggled to make their mark this season. The Valencia-based outfit stunned Villarreal by a 2-0 margin last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have experienced a stunning resurgence under Xavi. The Catalans were held to a 1-1 draw by Eintracht Frankfurt in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
