Barcelona vs Levante: match preview and form

Hansi Flick's FC Barcelona arrives at the Ciutat de València with the aim of adding their second consecutive victory in LaLiga EA Sports.

The Blaugrana defeated Mallorca 0-3 at Son Moix in a match where they demonstrated their offensive potential with goals from Raphinha, Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal.

The thrashing against the Bermellones was especially forceful, especially after the two expulsions suffered by Mallorca in the first half. Manu Morlanes saw a straight red in the 33rd minute, and Vedat Muriqi was sent off for a double yellow in the 39th minute, leaving the local team with nine players.

The German coach has practically the entire Culé squad available, with the only doubt being Frenkie de Jong, who continues to recover from his ankle injury.

Levante seeks its first points in Primera

For its part, Julián Calero's Levante UD faces this commitment with the need to add its first points in its return to Primera División.

The Granotas were defeated at Mendizorroza against Deportivo Alavés by 2-1, despite taking the lead with a goal from Pablo Martínez.

The Valencian team will have the incentive of playing at home in front of their fans, who sold out the 25,354 tickets available to receive FC Barcelona. Ticket prices range between 90 euros for the most economical areas and 230 euros for Central Tribune.

Recent history between Levante and Barcelona

FC Barcelona largely dominates the direct confrontations against Levante in recent years. Since 2011, both teams have faced each other on 29 occasions with a very favorable balance for the Culés: 22 victories, 4 draws and only 3 defeats.

In the last five confrontations between both teams, Barça has achieved 3 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat. The last precedent dates back to April 2022, when the Blaugrana won by 2-3 at the Ciutat de València with goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (2) and Pedri.

Which players will be key in Levante vs Barcelona?

In FC Barcelona, all eyes will be on Lamine Yamal, who after his spectacular league debut with a goal and an assist, has become one of the main offensive references of the Blaugrana team. The young 18-year-old winger showed his quality against Mallorca scoring a great goal from outside the area in added time.

Raphinha will seek to continue his great moment after opening the scoring at Son Moix with a perfect header, while Ferran Torres will try to confirm his good form after his goal on the first matchday.

For Levante, Pablo Martínez will be the player to watch after his goal against Alavés, while Iván Romero and Adrián de la Fuente will be the main offensive threats of the Granota team.

With this match against Levante, FC Barcelona seeks to consolidate its good start to the season and send a clear message to the rest of the LaLiga EA Sports rivals that it is coming strong to defend the title won last season.
