Levante
Levante come into this match in fairly good form. In their most recent game, they secured a 3–2 home victory over Elche, and overall they have suffered just one defeat in their last five matches — against Real Madrid. In the remaining fixtures, they recorded two wins and two draws. In the La Liga standings, Levante remain in the relegation zone with 17 points, five behind the safety line. Defensive issues continue to be a major concern, with 34 goals conceded — the second-worst defensive record in the league.

Atletico Madrid
Atlético Madrid approach this match in a disappointing mood. In their most recent Champions League fixture, they suffered a surprising home defeat to Bodø/Glimt, ending their impressive unbeaten run at home this season. As a result, Atlético dropped out of the top eight in their Champions League group and will now have to contest two additional matches in the Round of 32 playoff stage.
In La Liga, however, the team’s form has been much stronger. In their latest league match, Atlético secured a comfortable 3–0 home victory over Mallorca and currently sit third in the table with 44 points, eight points behind leaders Barcelona. Away from home, the team has also performed well recently, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions, with four wins and two draws.
In head-to-head meetings with Levante, recent encounters have been fairly balanced. In the last five matches between the sides, each team has recorded two wins, with one match ending in a draw.

Levante — Atletico Madrid Prediction
Both teams come into this match in decent form, though under different circumstances. Levante have shown some resilience in recent games, suffering only one defeat in their last five matches. However, they remain in the relegation zone and were recently eliminated from the Copa del Rey by a lower-ranked opponent. Atlético Madrid, meanwhile, have been performing strongly in both La Liga and the Champions League. Despite a rare home defeat to Bodø/Glimt, which cost them a place in the Champions League top eight, the team have displayed confidence and consistency in recent league and away matches. In head-to-head meetings, Atlético have won the last two encounters against Levante, although the overall rivalry has been relatively balanced in recent years. Levante, on the other hand, have not beaten Atlético at home for a long time. Considering the current form of both sides, Levante’s urgent need for points to avoid relegation, and Atlético’s motivation to respond after their European setback and continue their push for Champions League qualification, this matchup is expected to be competitive and cautious, but with an edge for the visitors from Madrid. My bet for this match: Atletico Madrid to Win at odds of 1.6.
