Levante vs Real Madrid prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-09-22 19:30.
[p]Levante and Real Madrid may have very different targets for the season but both are in buoyant mood having completed dominant victories without conceding on matchday five.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Levante’s first La Liga win of the season was as emphatic as they come when they thrashed Girona 4-0 away from home on Saturday, raising hopes that their return to the top flight won’t simply be a season-long fight for survival (W1, D1, L3). That was their biggest La Liga win since beating Betis 4-0 in April 2019 so the Granotas should be feeling positive as they look to build on that impressive triumph and claim a first home league win of the season having already drawn 2-2 with Betis and run Barcelona close here (L 3-2).[/p]
[p]But given how comfortably their visitors dispatched Espanyol on Saturday afternoon (W 2-0), Levante won’t be getting ahead of themselves, especially as Madrid managed to introduce fit-again Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga from the bench late on. Both could feature more prominently here as manager Xabi Alonso continues to rotate his squad, with Los Blancos aiming to start their La Liga campaign with six consecutive wins for just the second time since the 1987/88 season. Doing so would also see them secure four straight league away victories, something they haven’t achieved since a run that finished in May 2024.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Levante have challenged Madrid over the years, winning three of the last eight meetings (D1, L4), but they’ve often performed better away from home, winning just one of the last nine H2Hs they hosted (D2, L6).[/p]
