Levante come into this one on cloud nine having ended their 27-game La Liga winless run last time out, beating Mallorca thanks to goals from Roberto Soldado and Jose Luis Morales. That was a win Las Granotas desperately needed as they look to pull off a great escape, still seven points from safety even with the win. Levante beat Mallorca on the back of a 5-0 hammering against Villarreal, and they have an added advantage here of being one of the few teams to get a rest during the week. Cadiz were afforded no such luxury, taking on Espanyol and drawing 2-2 after a dramatic stoppage time, which saw them drop a point after completing a comeback. Goals from Alvaro Negredo and Ivan Alejo allowed them to take a 2-1 lead with the second goal coming in the 91st-minute, but they couldn't hold on, conceding in the 95th-minute. Before that, the Andalusians edged through in the Copa del Rey, defeating Segunda side Sporting Gijon on penalties after a goalless draw in normal time. That win came on the back of a two-goal defeat to Osasuna, one that cost now former boss Alvaro Cervera his job. Both of these sides are desperate for points, sat in the bottom three, but buoyed by their first win, Levante could just pull off another victory at home here. 2:1
Levante have drawn 6 of their last 7 matches against Cadiz in all competitions. Cadiz have failed to win their last 8 matches (LaLiga).
Jose Campana will serve a two-game suspension following a red card. Centre-backs Shkodran Mustafi and Oscar Duarte are both out injured, while Ruben Vezo is a doubt. Thankfully for Levante, it does look as though Vezo will pull through, and he will likely make up part of a newly introduced back three. Jose Mari and Jon Ander Garrido remain out. Marcos Mauro and Choco Lozano have both returned, and the latter is a big boost. Lozano is likely to start after making an early return during the week. Jens Jonsson is out after a positive COVID test, and that will be a big blow for Sergio Gonzalez.
