Levante vs Real Madrid Match Preview/Betting Preview
The betting narrative is overwhelmingly focused on the magnitude of Real Madrid’s victory.

An early goal for the visitors could lead to a rout, while a stubborn Levante resistance might keep the scoreline respectable for a while.

Key Stats
- Real Madrid have won their last 11 matches against Levante in all competitions.
- Real Madrid have scored at least 3 goals in 4 of their last 5 meetings with Levante.
- Levante have not taken a point from Real Madrid since a 2-2 draw in 2020.
My exact correct score prediction is Levante 0 – 4 Real Madrid. I anticipate a dominant and professional performance from the visitors. The sheer gulf in quality, from defence to attack, will be too much for a hard-working but ultimately outclassed Levante side. Real Madrid’s attacking players, likely including in-form Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior, will have too much pace, power, and technical ability, leading to a comprehensive victory.

Team News Home
Levante have a lengthy injury list, missing key defender Carlos González and midfielder Iborra. Their squad depth is significantly challenged, forcing them to rely on younger, less experienced players against the might of Madrid.
Team News Away
Real Madrid will be without the services of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and defender David Alaba, both long-term absentees. Key midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni is a doubt but is expected to be rested as a precaution with more crucial matches ahead. This allows for minutes for squad players like Arda Güler.
