Key Facts
- Atlético Madrid trails league-leading Barcelona by two points and has a chance to close the gap; Levante UD is tied on points with Elche following its loss to Real Sociedad.
- Atlético Madrid has won four of its last five matches and most recently defeated Deportivo La Coruña thanks to a goal by Julián Álvarez off an assist from Alejandro Grimaldo.
- Levante UD lost to Real Sociedad despite Nacho Pérez’s equalizer; the lopsided shot count makes the narrow defeat seem less reassuring.
- The most recent competitive match between Levante UD and Atlético Madrid ended scoreless; the head-to-head record generally favors Atlético, but also shows that the matches have been evenly matched.
- Atlético Madrid midfielder Koke is out and could rob the offense of creativity, while Cristian Romero is a possibility for the defense following his return to team training.
- The “Both Teams to Score: No” bet is risky because Levante UD has scored in each of its last five games; Atlético Madrid’s recent clean sheets nevertheless support it.
Match Preview
Atlético Madrid is riding a six-game winning streak in La Liga, but in their last competitive match against Levante UD, they could only manage a 0-0 draw. Diego Simeone’s team is looking to secure its seventh win on Saturday at Estadio Ciudad de Valencia and close the two-point gap behind league-leading Barcelona. Luís Castro’s Levante is tied on points with Elche following its loss to Real Sociedad. There’s a lot at stake for both teams, and another draw would be a setback, especially for the favorites.

- Competition: La Liga (Matchday 11)
The betting odds clearly favor Atlético. However, the draw in January and Koke’s absence provide arguments for a tie after regulation time. Levante has scored in all five of the listed league matches. Therefore, “Both Teams to Score: No” is the riskiest bet, even though Jan Oblak’s clean sheets suggest otherwise. Levante’s 3–3 draw against Sevilla FC also makes “Under 3.5 Goals” a tricky bet. Nevertheless, Atlético’s recent rather close results point toward the combination of a draw, “Both Teams to Score: No,” and “Under 3.5 Goals.”
Levante Form & Record Check
Levante lost 1–2 at Real Sociedad, even though Nacho Pérez had briefly equalized. With six shots on goal compared to Real Sociedad’s seventeen, the narrow result is less reassuring than it initially appears. However, the previous 3–1 league win against Athletic Bilbao showed that Levante can bounce back. In each of the five league games listed, the team conceded a goal. Since they also score regularly, a draw is possible if the defense is more alert this time around.
Atlético Form & Record Check
Atlético won its most recent La Liga match against Deportivo La Coruña 1–0. Julián Alvarez converted an assist from Alejandro Grimaldo after halftime. Six consecutive league wins are the strongest argument against a draw. Jan Oblak has kept five clean sheets in ten league games, which suggests a low-scoring match. Koke is out, while Cristian Romero is back training with the team and could therefore return to the projected starting defense.
Levante vs. Atlético Head-to-Head & Stats
Of the 25 recorded competitive matches between the two teams, Atlético won 13, Levante six; six matches ended in a draw. This record supports Atlético’s status as the favorite but does not rule out a draw. The most recent recorded competitive match in January 2026 ended 0–0, suggesting a low-scoring draw. This contrasts with Atlético’s 3–1 victory in November 2025. A draw therefore remains a reasonable but risky prediction.
