Levante vs Getafe Preview (02:00, April 14). Prediction of the result, expected lineup, expert analysis of the match between Levante and Getafe within Round 31 of the Spanish National Championship (La Liga) 2025/26.
The final match of La Liga Round 31 is a clash between two teams at opposite ends of the standings with completely contrasting objectives. Levante is struggling in the relegation battle, sitting in 19th place with 26 points. The 0-2 defeat against Real Sociedad last round ended the point-gaining streak for coach Luis Castro's team, leaving them 7 points behind the safe position of Alaves. The pressure is immense for "The Frogs," especially as they possess the worst home record in the league with only 14 points from 15 matches.

Levante vs Getafe
Levante's sole reliance at this moment is the maturity of young forward Carlos Espi, who has scored 9 goals this season. However, facing Getafe's renowned defensive system, the task of finding goals to keep hope alive in Spain's top flight will be an extremely arduous challenge for the hosts at the Ciudad de Valencia stadium.
In stark contrast to the host's dire situation, Getafe is soaring with an extremely impressive form. Coach Jose Bordalas's squad has won 4 of their last 5 matches in La Liga, including a convincing 2-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao last round. With 41 points, Getafe has climbed to 8th place and is only 3 points behind the European qualification group (Celta Vigo), while still having one match in hand.
Getafe's success this season continues to be built on a solid defensive foundation. With only 31 goals conceded, they are the league's third-best defensive team, behind only Real Madrid and Barcelona. Their resilient and pragmatic style makes Getafe one of the best away teams this season. Against a faltering and uncreative Levante, Getafe has a great opportunity to secure all 3 points, thereby heating up the race for a ticket to the continental stage.
Levante: Roger Brugue is absent due to injury. Unai Elgezabal requires a last-minute medical check to determine his availability. The good news is that center-back Matias Moreno has fully recovered. Carlos Espi remains the primary hope on the attacking line.
Getafe: Juanmi and Borja Mayoral are missing due to injuries. Key midfielder Mauro Arambarri is suspended after accumulating enough disciplinary cards. However, the away team welcomes the crucial return of the defensive trio Abdel Abqar, Kiko Femenia, and Allan Nyom following their suspension.
Levante (4-2-3-1): Ryan; Toljan, Matturro, De la Fuente, Sanchez; Martinez, Rey; Garcia, Romero, Tunde; Espi.

Although Levante desperately needs points to avoid relegation, the on-field reality shows a significant disparity in form and tactical organization between the two teams. Getafe is in excellent form and the return of key defensive pillars will help them lock down the host's attacking threats. With their pragmatic and effective style, Bordalas's team is likely to leave with a minimal victory to close in on the top 6.
