Levante possible 11:

Espanyol possible 11:
Lopez, Pedrosa, Cabrera, Calero, Gil, Bare, Herrera, Puado, Darder, Vilhena and de Tomas
Prediction: Levante 0-2 Espanyol
We expect Espanyol to make it successive wins in the league and keep the improvement alive.
Levante’s poor form and sudden moments of good play and few and far between due to which they look likely to be the first side to face the axe this season.
Players to watch out for: Bardhi, de Frutos, de Tomas and Darder.
