Bottom-dwelling club Levante (1-6-3, 6 points) is set to face off against tough squad Deportivo La Coruna (3-2-5, 14 points) at the Estadi Ciutat de València on November 7th, Saturday for a 2015-2016 La Liga season encounter.
Levante had been submerged at the bottom of the league table for quite some time now as the team could only produce one win in its first ten games of the season.
Les Granotes are currently on a three-game losing skid with their most recent match a 0-3 spanking in the hands of Valencia at the Mestalla Stadium last Saturday, via Soccerway.
New head coach Rubi just took over from sacked manager Lucas Alcaraz on October 28 and Levante officials hope that this coaching move will motivate the Frogs in their coming matches.
Meanwhile, Deportivo La Coruna had been settling for draws as of late as they are winless in their last four outings with three of those ending up in deadlocks.
Their last match was a 1-1 tie with Atletico Madrid at the Estadio Municipal de Riazor last Friday, as reported by SkySports.
Portuguese midfielder Tiago Mendes drew first blood for Atleti at the 34th minute to give Diego Simeone's wards an early lead. But Deportivo's Spanish winger Lucas Martínez managed to equalize the count in the second half of play, at the 77th minute, to salvage the point for Víctor Sánchez's men.
French forward Antoine Griezmann almost won the game for Los Colchoneros, but the wasted two close tries before the first half ended to settle for the draw.
With Levante's current woes, they seem to be no match to Deportivo in this game.
The prediction is a 2-0 blanking of Levante by Deportivo La Coruna.
Levante starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Ruben; Lopez, Navarro, Juanfran, Tono; Lerma, Simao Jr., Camarasa; Morales, Roger, Garcia
Deportivo La Coruna starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Lux; Laure, Lopo, Sidnei, Navarro; Borges, Mosquera; Fede, Fajr, Gutierrez; Lucas
