This is the club's best run since the start of 2025. Atletico has not suffered a defeat in La Liga for 10 matches (6 wins, 4 draws), and their scoring streak in this tournament extends to 13 games. In home matches strictly within La Liga, Diego Simeone's men have consistently scored in 23 consecutive games. Additionally, Atletico has won 9 of their last 10 home league matches.

Levante
The Valencia-based team is currently on a downward trend, negatively impacting their league position. Levante has secured only 2 wins in the first 11 rounds of La Liga, and before traveling to Madrid, the team has gone winless in 3 consecutive matches (1 draw, 2 losses). Consequently, Julian Calero's side has slipped to 16th place in the table, narrowly avoiding the relegation zone, ahead of Valencia only due to a better goal difference. However, it's worth noting that Levante has not lost in their last 4 away La Liga games (2 wins, 2 draws). The numerous defensive errors are a concern, with the team having conceded 20 goals in the league so far, a tally only exceeded by Girona (24).
- The team has conceded in 17 of their last 19 La Liga matches.
- Levante scored in 7 of their last 8 away league matches.
- At least 2 goals have been scored in 25 consecutive Levante La Liga games.
Predicted lineup for Levante (4-2-3-1)

Main midfielder Unai Vencedor is serving a suspension. Defender Diego Pampin, midfielder Pablo Martinez, and forward Ivan Romero are unavailable due to injuries. Midfielder Oriol Rey's participation is doubtful.

Atletico Madrid vs. Levante: Match Prediction
After a tough start, Atletico has gained momentum and is chasing the leaders, having collected 16 out of a possible 18 points in their last 6 La Liga matches – the most in the league. In the previous round, Atletico convincingly defeated Sevilla 3-0, although big wins have not been a frequent occurrence this season. Diego Simeone's side has won by a margin of 3 goals or more in only 2 of their last 11 league matches.
Levante is close to returning to the relegation zone, but even in unsuccessful games, the team rarely collapses and gives up without a fight. In the first 11 rounds of La Liga, the Valencia-based team has suffered only 2 heavy defeats, both occurring at home. On the road, the club has avoided a thrashing in 7 consecutive La Liga matches.
Importantly, Levante has not lost by a large margin in 8 consecutive league encounters with Atletico. Prediction – Levante with a handicap (+2.5)
