The home side go in to this buoyed by a change of fortunes off the back a win at Zaragoza preceded by a home victory over Mallorca. The latter was helped by another one this season’s daft sending offs, but they sit in ninth. They go into this with a full quota of players.

| Levante will look to Obafemi Martins to end their poor away form |
It’s a rare event for them to win three on the bounce but then Levante, who are level with them on 10 points, have lost all of their away games to date. That said, they come into this having beaten cross town rivals Valencia. It’s too early to say whether Obafemi Martins will be this season’s Felipe Caicedo or Arouna Koné, but he Nigerian’s got two in two starts since joining from Rubin.
Both sides have short squads and settled XIs so the usual starters will feature. In a league that’s proving tight and tough to predict, this encounter between two even matched sides may be decided by who gets the better of the officiating. But Levante’s form on the road tips it in Getafe’s favour, all else equal.
