Levante vs Getafe: Survival Bid Meets European Chase at Estadi Ciutat de València

Levante host Getafe at Estadi Ciutat de València on Monday, April 13, 2026, in a La Liga Round 31 fixture that presents two clubs heading in sharply different directions. Levante sit 18th, five points from safety with eight games remaining and face what appears to be an almost certain return to the second tier. Getafe occupy eighth place and are chasing European qualification, sitting just four points off fifth position before this round. The match kicks off at 19:00 local time and is available on DAZN platforms across multiple regions.

Levante have collected eight points from their last five league matches: two wins, two draws, and one defeat. Seven of those points came at home across their last three games at Estadi Ciutat de València. That equals what they managed across their first 12 home matches this season, where they won just once, drew four, and lost seven. The improvement is clear, though Levante have never won a Monday La Liga game — 12 matches, no victories. No team in La Liga history has gone 13 Monday games without a win.

Getafe arrive in better form. Across the last eight La Liga rounds, only leaders Barcelona have accumulated more points than the Azulones. Their run of six wins and two losses has pushed them toward the European places. Their away record in 2026 reads three wins, two draws, and one defeat from six road trips. Monday matches have been particularly productive: Getafe have won eight of their last 11 such fixtures in the top flight. Midfielder Mauro Arambarri is suspended, but the visitors otherwise travel with a full squad.

The head-to-head record favors Levante. They are unbeaten in their last nine La Liga home meetings with Getafe, winning three and drawing six. Across the entire historical record between these clubs in the competition, Levante have only enjoyed more wins against Real Sociedad than against Getafe. That home record, combined with their recent form, makes them more dangerous than their league position suggests.

Carlos Espí has driven Levante's mini-revival. The forward has scored six goals across his last five appearances, opening the scoring in each of the four matches where he found the net. His hot streak accounts for a significant portion of Levante's entire attacking output this season. For Getafe, Martín Satriano has scored crucial second goals in four of his last five scoring appearances. His ability to kill off comebacks could prove decisive if Levante commit numbers forward in search of a result that could keep their survival hopes alive.

Defensively, Levante's late-game vulnerability is notable. Only Elche have conceded more goals after the 75th minute this season than Levante's 15, a statistic that underscores their tendency to fade in closing stages. Getafe have exploited such weaknesses throughout their recent run.

The outcome likely depends on whether Levante can maintain their improved home form against a side with superior overall quality, or if Getafe's away prowess proves decisive against an opponent showing clear signs of life.
