Levante UD
Levante UD is fighting hard to avoid relegation. A week ago the club showed character and snatched a come-from-behind victory over Elche (3:2), with the decisive goal scored in the 96th minute. It is worth noting that the home side won at home for the first time this Primera División season. Now the club has only one defeat in the last five rounds, although prior to that Levante UD endured a difficult run of five consecutive league losses. As a result of the match the team remains in 19th place in the table, but the gap to 17th has been reduced to five points.
- In the current La Liga campaign the club has conceded a total of 34 goals, worse in this respect only than Girona (35).
- At least 2 goals have been scored in seven of the club’s matches in this competition.
- Both teams scored in 11 of Levante UD’s 13 most recent home Primera División matches.
Potential Levante UD Lineup (4-5-1)*
Mathew Ryan – Jeremy Toljan, Adri, Alan Matturro, Manuel Sánchez – Ugo Raguber, Ivan Romero, Carlos Álvarez Rivera, Iker Losada, Pablo Martínez – Karl Etta-Eyong.
Midfielder Roger Brugué is unavailable due to injury. The participation of defenders Diego Pampin and Víctor García is in doubt.
Atlético Madrid
Atlético Madrid are in form. The club’s last La Liga match ended in a rout of Mallorca (3:0). The home victory was Atlético Madrid’s second in a row and fourth in the last five league rounds, during which the club collected 13 points out of 15. Atlético Madrid now occupy sole third place in the table, three points behind Villarreal, although the competitor still has a game in hand. Note that Atlético Madrid kept a clean sheet in three of their previous four Primera División matches. Overall, since the start of the La Liga season the club has conceded 17 goals – the best record alongside Real Madrid.
- The club has not conceded more than one goal in six consecutive league matches.
- Atlético Madrid’s scoring run in this competition extends to five games.

Levante UD vs Atlético Madrid: Match Prediction
Levante UD are improving and doing everything possible to climb out of the relegation zone. Over the last five La Liga rounds the team suffered only one defeat, against Real Madrid (0:2), and that was at Santiago Bernabéu. Home matches have been worse statistically than away ones, but now the home side are unbeaten in three league games at their stadium (1 win, 2 draws). Even in previous fixtures that often ended badly the club tried to keep the contest alive. At home Levante UD lost by more than one goal in only three of their nine recent Primera División matches.
Atlético Madrid are on a roll; before traveling to Valencia the club’s unbeaten run in La Liga reached five matches (4 wins, 1 draw). In the last league game the visitors hammered Mallorca (3:0), but such confidence is not always evident. For example, the club won by more than one goal in only two of their previous seven winter Primera División matches. And playing away is generally not easy for Atlético Madrid: across 10 away games this season the club managed just three victories.
Prediction: Levante UD (+1.5)
