With Atletico trailing league leaders Real Madrid by 8 points, there is little room for error for Simeone’s men, who will be desperate to close down that gap.

Levante will aim to put a bit of daylight between themselves and the relegation zone, with only goal difference keeping them up at this point, although this seems unlikely given Atletico’s impressive run of form.

The Bookies have Atletico as heavy favourites at 1.2, meanwhile Levante are as long as 13.0 to take all 3 points.

📈 Atletico Madrid v Levante Form & Stats

Atletico seem to have gotten back on track, following a dismal start to their league campaign, which saw them record just a single win across their first 5. Since then, however, Simeone’s men have managed 5 wins and a draw, including a 5-2 demolition job in the Madrid derby.

Last time out, they comfortably beat USG 3-1 in the Champions League - an important result given they’d previously suffered an embarrassing 4-0 defeat at the Emirates. All in all, the trajectory looks promising, but the 8-point gap between them and Madrid, who sit top of La Liga, is still a serious concern.

Levante have picked up just 9 points from their opening 11 games, leaving them 16th in the league, albeit level on points with Valencia, who sit in the relegation zone.

The underlying stats suggest the margin between them and the drop zone should be significantly wider; in fact, Levante’s 5 points underperformance is the most of any side in Spain’s top flight. Typically, we see gulfs like these converge as the season goes on, but if Atletico’s form is anything to go by, they may have to remain patient for the time being.
