Defending champion and second place Barcelona will host Levante 13th place in the 22nd week of La Liga 2019/20 on Monday (2/3/2020). Barcelona must win the match at Camp Nou if they do not want a difference of three points with leaders Real Madrid widened.
Barcelona has just made up for the 0-2 defeat of host Valencia in the league by finishing off Leganes 5-0 in the last 16 of the Copa del Rey. Formula coach Quique Setien worked very well in the match at the Camp Nou.
Antoine Griezmann, Clement Lenglet and Arthur contributed one goal each. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi bought up two goals.
Barcelona need to remember and repeat the game when serving Levante in the same place later. That way, they will have a very big chance of securing three points.
At the first meeting of the season, Barcelona, who is still trained by Ernesto Valverde, gave up 1-3 at home to Levante. Barcelona had a superior goal through Messi, but Levante could score three replies through Jose Campana, Borja Mayoral, and Nemanja Radoja.
However, Levante has just swallowed three successive defeats in all competitions. With such performance, it looks like they have to be prepared to accept the worst results at the Barcelona headquarters.
