Match preview

Levante gave their La Liga survival hopes a huge boost last time out, recording a 2-0 victory over 10-man Alaves, with the team ending a four-game losing run in Spain's top flight.

Luis Castro's team still have a lot of work to do if they are to move out of the bottom three, but the gap to 17th-placed Elche is now only five points, and there is plenty of football to be played before the end of the 2025-26 campaign.

Levante have the worst home record in Spain's top flight this season, picking up only 10 points from 13 matches, and they will be welcoming a Girona outfit that have 14 points to show from their 13 away fixtures during the current season.

The Frogs have only actually locked horns with Girona on 21 previous occasions, boasting a record of 10 wins, five draws and six defeats.

Levante are looking to complete a La Liga double over Girona, having recorded a stunning 4-0 victory when the two teams met in the reverse match back in September 2025.

Girona's last success over Levante came back in November 2017, although three of the last five matches between the two sides have finished all square.

The visitors will enter Saturday's match off the back of a 2-1 home defeat to Celta Vigo, which proved to be their first loss since the end of January.

Michel's side have a record of seven wins, nine draws and 10 defeats from their 26 league matches this season, with 30 points leaving them in 14th spot in the division, six points outside of the relegation zone with 12 games left to play.

Levante actually have the worst defensive record in Spain's top flight this season, conceding 44, but Girona have let in 42 goals, so this will be a battle between two of the poorest defensive teams in Spain's top flight during the 2025-26 campaign.
