Getafe will resume their La Liga 2021-22 campaign after the international break, as they welcome Levante to the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on Friday.
The hosts, 16th in the league standings, are four points above the relegation zone and 11 points ahead of last-placed Levante. Getafe were held to a goalless draw at Real Sociedad in their previous outing while the visiting side suffered a 2-0 loss at home to Cadiz, just a fortnight after picking up their first win of the campaign against Mallorca.
With more than half of the campaign over, maintaining their top-flight status will be a priority for the visiting side while the hosts will be hoping to secure a better finish than the 15th place they secured last term.

Getafe vs Levante Prediction
Getafe boast a solid home record this season and have kept a clean sheet in four of their last five league games. Azulones have lost just twice since Quique Sánchez Flores took over at the club and they are strong favorites against a struggling Levante.
Granotes have struggled for consistency this season, with less than half of their goals this term having come in their away games. Taking this into consideration, a narrow win for the home side seems to be the likely outcome here.
Prediction: Getafe 1-0 Levante
