Levante vs Atlético Madrid: Match preview
Levante currently sit in the lower half of the table, not far from the relegation zone. They are therefore embroiled in a battle for survival, with a gap of just two points separating them from 18th place. Levante have won two matches this season, drawn four and lost the rest. Last season, the team came dangerously close to the relegation zone. They collected 42 points over 38 rounds and finished ahead of Mallorca only on tiebreakers, sending Mallorca down instead. They are likely to face a similar struggle this campaign.
Atlético Madrid are much higher in the standings and are currently competing for the La Liga title. After ten rounds, Los Colchoneros have collected 25 points and sit second in the table. They are two points behind Barcelona and one point ahead of Real Madrid. Atlético will most likely be fighting for a top-three finish, with the title their best-case scenario. However, it remains to be seen whether they have enough resources to sustain a challenge for the championship. Last season, Atlético finished fourth in the league but also reached the Copa del Rey final and the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.
Probable lineups
- Levante: Ryan; Perez, Mandi, Ndukwe, Sanchez; Fernandez, Requena, Olasagasti, V Garcia; Ratkov, Romero

Prediction
Atlético Madrid are in excellent form, and I believe they can extend their impressive run. I suggest betting on Atlético Madrid to win this match.
