Kike Garcia leads Espanyol’s scoring with three goals this season. Meanwhile, Carlos Espi is Levante’s top scorer with seven goals. The performance of the goalkeepers will also be crucial; Mathew Ryan has kept three clean sheets for Levante while Marko Dmitrovic has managed one clean sheet for Espanyol in their last ten games.
