Barcelona vs Levante: LaLiga 2018-19 prediction, lineups, odds, live
stream, TV channel, tickets Barcelona are one game away from LaLiga
title glory as they host Levante at Camp Nou on Saturday night.
Barca lead Atletico Madrid by nine points with four games remaining, and
- due to their superior goal difference and head-to-head record with
Atleti - another victory in front of the Blaugrana faithful would see
Ernesto Valverde's side retain their title.
With a Champions League semi-final first leg against Liverpool next
Wednesday to worry about, Valverde will want his side to get the title
wrapped up as early as possible - but Lionel Messi is on the cusp of
another milestone, and a hat-trick on Saturday would see the Argentine
legend break the 600-goal barrier for Barca.
Barcelona team news and predicted line-up
Valverde has time to plan for Barca's Champions League tie versus
Liverpool next week, and will likely field a full-strength starting XI
to get the job done early on against Levante before - if the opportunity
arises - giving two or three key players a breather in the second half.
Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen, Semedo, Pique, Lenglet, Alba, Rakitic, Busquets, Arthur, Messi, Suarez, Dembele
Score prediction: Barcelona 2-0 Levante
Barca will be focussed on the task at hand and are unlikely to be troubled by Levante, so a title party looks all but assured.
Levante are 15th in the table and three points off the relegation zone.
While a defeat will obviously harm their survival hopes, 18th-placed
Girona have lost their last six games in a row. Barcelona looks to be
crowned La Liga champions on Saturday with a win against Levante at the
Camp Nou. Barca enters the day in first place with a record of 24-8-2
and a lead of nine points over Atletico Madrid. Levante, meanwhile, is
still in the fight for survival, sitting in 15th place with a 9-10-15
record and 37 points. The club is just three points above the drop zone
and probably a win away from being safe.
Barca may already be crowned champion before the game starts if Atletico Madrid fails to beat Real Valladolid.
