Levante vs Real Madrid Preview

• Competition: La Liga
• Date: Wednesday, 23 September
• Kick-Off Time: 08:30 PM GMT
• Venue: Ciutat de Valencia

The newly promoted Levante side will host the Los Blancos at the iconic Ciutat de Valencia on Wednesday, 24 September, as the team placed at the bottom of the La Liga table will hope to get some points against the league leaders. Here's Sportsdunia's Levante vs Real Madrid Preview:

Levante played good football in all the games, but unfortunately failed to score many points from them. In their last game, they did get a point against Real Betis in an exciting encounter and will be hoping to come away with something from this match as well. They were on the verge of victory when they hosted Barcelona, but eventually lost the game in the last minute. They have also lost to Alaves and Elche in the league, but that won't shake their confidence and belive in themselves. Even though their record has been very poor against Los Blancos, Levante will hope to give them a tough time on the field.

On the other hand, the Los Blancos are unbeaten so far in the league and are currently sitting at the top of the table. Xabi Alonso's time at Real Madrid has started very positively so far, and his tactics have worked against every team. Playing against Levante, who will sit back and won't give any space, will surely make things complicated for the away side, but quality-wise, they are a much superior side, and surely can score goals against low blocks. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Levante Team News

New signing Alan Matturo is doubtful for the upcoming match due to a leg injury; he hasn't made his debut for the club yet. The rest of the players are fully fit to play against Los Blancos.

Real Madrid Team News

Madrid's French centre-back Antonio Rudiger is out for several weeks due to injury. Ferland Mendy and Endrick are also on the injury list. Jude Bellingham and Camavinga are back from their injuries. Alexander Arnold also got injured in the last match, so he remains doubtful for the match. The rest of the squad is fit to play.

Levante vs Real Madrid Head-to-Head Record

Key Players to Watch in Levante vs Real Madrid

Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid)

The Frenchman is in fine form, and recently he scored his 50th goal in the Real Madrid shirt against Marseille in the Champions League. Mbappe has been in fine form this season and is looking very determined to prove his critics wrong. Last season, he won the Golden Boot and Pichichi despite Los Blancos not having a great season. Xabi Alonso's system is perfectly suited to him, and he is scoring goals in every match. His hunger on the field is clearly visible this season, and he will be a big threat to the home team in this upcoming fixture. In five games so far in the season, he has scored six goals and provided one assist.

Ivan Romero (Levante)

Romero played a great game against Barcelona and also scored a crucial goal, but eventually it wasn't enough to get the team points. Romero has been part of Levante for the last two seasons, and he has been a decent player for them, who is a proper poacher inside the box. Even though he is short in stature, he is someone who is very quick and can break the defences with his pace and dribbling skills. Physically, he is robust, and due to his low centre of gravity, it is difficult to stop him. Against the tall defenders of Real Madrid, it will be a big task for him to get past them. In four games, so far, he has scored two goals.

Levante vs Real Madrid Prediction

Despite performing well in the league till now, the newly promoted Levante haven't had good results, and they will be determined to perform well against the Los Blancos. On the other hand, Madrid will be hoping to stay unbeaten in the league. Most probably, the away team will win this fixture.

Prediction: Levante 0-2 Real Madrid
