La Liga: Real Madrid vs Levante; Match Preview
Date:
Saturday 06/4/2013
Competition: La Liga
Stadium:
Santiago Bernabeu
Time: 17:00 GMT
Real Madrid continue their pursuit of Barcelona at the
top of La Liga with a home clash against Europa League hopefuls Levante.
The hosts were halted
on their six-match winning streak by Real Zaragoza, who held them to a 1-1 draw at the weekend. On the same day, Levante beat Sevilla 1-0, which was their first victory in eight league
games, a run that went back to the end of January.
Jose Mourinho has a full squad at his disposal, but could make a couple of changes to his side from the win against Galatasaray.
For Levante, David Navarro is suspended and Jose Barkero is still absent with injury, but otherwise there are few concerns for Juan Ignacio Martinez.
