Levante – Granotas shooting for top-half finish?
Under no imminent danger of being relegated, but also too far adrift to pose a credible threat to those competing for the European places. Maintaining motivation through to the end of the season could be a factor in determining how high Levante (W8 D11 L9) finish in the La Liga standings. Currently in tenth position, only once before in their twelve seasons in Spain’s highest tier has the club finished inside the top halve of the table.
So there remains enough of an incentive. Recent results has seen them surrender some of their momentum, however, with 1-0 and 2-0 defeats on the road at Real Sociedad and Real Betis, respectively, sandwiching a 1-0 win over Valencia that marked a first win on home soil since January (D4 L1). However, this is a team that has gone to both of the current top-two in La Liga, Atletico and Real Madrid, and won in 2021.
Huesca – La Liga’s bottom club not down yet?
Craving the mid-table comforts of their upcoming opponents are Huesca (W3 D12 L13), a club featuring in La Liga for only a second time after their swift relegation in 2018-19 when finishing second from bottom. With ten games to go, opportunities in which to save themselves aren’t exactly bountiful but are enough to keep the belief alive, particularly as there are only four points separating the bottom club from safety.
Nevertheless, Azulgranas are in a perilous predicament upon resuming domestic commitments following the recent international break. Since the turn of the year, Huesca have collected nine points from a possible 36 (W2 D3 L7). They’ve not stopped competing, though, pushing Real Madrid and Sevilla close in defeat while also taking points off Eibar, Granada, Osasuna, Valladolid and Villarreal in 2021.
