The Matchday 6 clash in La Liga between Levante and Real Madrid will take place on September 23 at the Ciudad de Valencia Stadium. Levante vs. Real Madrid: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Levante
The Valencian side secured their first victory since returning to Spain's top division, achieving a resounding 4-0 win over Girona in the previous round. Additionally, for the first time this La Liga season, they managed to keep a clean sheet, having conceded at least twice in each of the four prior matches in the current tournament. This success allowed Levante to climb out of the relegation zone, moving up to 16th place in the standings. After five rounds, the club has a neutral goal difference of 9:9.
- The team has not won in 4 of their last 5 La Liga matches (1 draw, 3 losses).
- At least 3 goals have been scored in 4 of Levante's last 5 matches in this tournament.
- Levante has scored exactly two goals in both of their home matches this season in La Liga, but they have yet to win (1 draw, 1 loss).
Predicted lineup for Levante (4-4-2)
Mathew Ryan – Jeremy Toljan, Unai Elgezabal, Matias Moreno, Manu Sanchez – Carlos Alvarez Rivera, Unai Vencedor, Oriol Rey, Roger Bruguet – Karl Etta-Edong, Ivan Romero.
Real Madrid
The Madrid side continues their successful run in the Spanish championship, extending their winning streak to 8 games with a confident 2-0 victory over Espanyol in the previous match. This is the longest active winning streak in La Liga. Notably, Real Madrid is the only club in the current championship that has not dropped any points, which sees them leading the La Liga standings, two points ahead of their closest rival, Barcelona. They also lead the list of the best defensive clubs in the tournament, having conceded only 3 goals.
- Real Madrid has scored exactly 2 goals in 6 of their last 8 matches in the Spanish championship.
- No more than 3 goals have been scored in 8 of the team's matches in La Liga.
- Real Madrid's uncompromising away streak in La Liga stands at 8 matches (6 wins, 2 losses).
Predicted lineup for Real Madrid (4-4-2)
Thibaut Courtois – Alvaro Carreras, Eder Militao, Raul Asensio, Dani Carvajal – Vinicius Junior, Aurelien Tchouameni, Federico Valverde, Franco Mastantuono – Kylian Mbappe, Gonzalo Garcia.
Match Prediction: Levante vs. Real Madrid
Levante earned their first points in the current tournament, capitalizing on a numerical advantage in their away match against Girona. By the 46th minute, Levante had two more players on the field due to Girona's red cards. However, it is unlikely that Julian Calero's team will build on this success against the tournament leader, who has been flawless so far. On the contrary, I am confident that Real Madrid will extend their winning streak in La Liga. As noted above, Real Madrid has been collecting 3 points for 8 consecutive matches in the Spanish championship, handling even more resilient opponents than Levante during this period.
Excluding the last match against Girona, where they had a numerical advantage, Levante performed poorly in the first four matches of La Liga, suffering 3 defeats and 1 draw, conceding 9 goals in this span. This does not bode well for Levante, considering the attacking strength and defensive reliability of their upcoming opponent. Real Madrid currently boasts the most reliable defense in the tournament, having scored 10 goals in 5 matches, sharing second place among the highest-scoring clubs in La Liga with Villarreal, with only Barcelona scoring more (16).
I expect the tournament leader to secure an easy 3 points, scoring at least 2 goals against the hosts' unreliable defense. My prediction – Real Madrid to win + Individual Total Over 1.5
