Match Facts:
Granada (18th, 30 pts):
- The Andalusians need to rediscover the winning touch. They lost to Atletico Madrid last matchday and are now winless in six games, having not tasted victory since beating R. Sporting at Los Carmenes. Their fans haven't had much to smile about since and Jose Gonzalez's charges are raring to put that right.
- Granada are up against a direct rival in the relegation dogfight, so the three points up for grabs are absolutely priceless. A win would take Gonzalez's team five points clear of their visitors.
.@barral23: "This game against @LevanteUD is special because both teams are pretty much playing for their survival in @LaLigaEN."

Levante (19th, 28 pts):
- Rubi's side picked up a hugely important win last matchday, putting in a performance of real belief and grit. RCD Espanyol took the lead through Hernan Perez in the seventh minute, but Levante turned things around courtesy of Giuseppe Rossi and Carl Medjani.
- This is a chance for revenge. Granada claimed all three points at the Ciutat de Valencia earlier in the season, so Rubi's troops will be bidding to get their own back at Los Carmenes. What's more, a second straight victory would allow them to leapfrog the Andalusians in the battle against the drop.
Don't leave Granada without... visiting the Basilica de San Juan de Dios. This breathtaking religious building contains the tomb of St John of God, the patron saint of Granada. This explains why it is also the spiritual home of the Order of St John.
