Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
After sharing the spoils with both Granada and Cadiz, fallen Barcelona will be aiming to return to winning ways when they take on Levante at their Camp Nou. Head coach Ronald Koeman feels pressure ahead of the visit of Levante, and, no doubt, this has to go down as a must-win game for the Dutch tactician and his men. The good news for the Catalans is that fit-again pacey winger Ansu Fati is likely to play some part in Sunday’s clash.
The likes of Ousmane Dembele, Sergio Aguero, Jordi Alba, Martin Braithwaite, and Pedri remain in the recovery room. Los Levantinos, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Celta Vigo. Levante have been playing some low-scoring games of late, and given Barca’s difficulties in front of goal, under 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. All Bardhi, Campana, and Soldado are injured for the visitors.
Highlighted Player (Memphis Depay):
Memphis Depay is a Dutch winger who started his professional career at PSV Eindhoven. During the 2014/2015 Eredivisie campaign the pacey footballer was on Manchester United’s radar and on June 12, 2015 the Premier League club confirmed the signing of the Dutchman. Many people expected that he would impress in the 2015/2016 Premier League season, but the former PSV ace played below expectations for the Red Devils, scoring only two goals (one assist) during the season.
After playing only for league games for Man Utd in the 2016/2017 season, Memphis Depay was sold to Olympique Lyon on January 20, 2017.

The Dutch winger was producing fine performances for Lyon in the 2016/2017 season; he scored five goals for the club, while providing eight assists for his teammates.
