Atletico Madrid vs Levante Prediction 8 November 2025
🔈 Can the "Frogs" put up a worthy fight against the "Mattress Makers" at the Wanda Metropolitano? One of the intriguing matchups in Saturday's La Liga schedule is the clash between Atletico Madrid and Levante. Both clubs have set very different objectives for the season, yet each is in desperate need of points. Several key factors work in favor of Diego Simeone's side. The most crucial is playing on their home turf, which will allow the players to play with freedom, while the fans will act as the 12th player, making Levante's task even more challenging. Bookmakers give Atletico Madrid a tenfold advantage.
Head-to-Head
📊 The last time these teams faced each other was in early 2023 during the Round of 16 of the Copa del Rey.

Reviewing the outcomes over their last 10 encounters: Atletico have claimed 5 wins, there have been 3 draws, and Levante have secured 2 victories. Interestingly, the previous 2 meetings at the "Wanda Metropolitano" ended in success for the Valencian club, with scores of 2-0 and 1-0.
Head-to-head statistics Atletico Madrid - Levante
Atletico Madrid Team Overview
⚪ In the current La Liga season, the "Colchoneros" have suffered only one defeat, which came in the opening round against Espanyol (1-2). The club's current winning streak in the national championship stands at three consecutive matches. Atlético have climbed to fourth place in the standings, closing in on Villarreal, who occupy third. Notably, the "Indians" remain unbeaten at home this season in La Liga, boasting five wins and one draw (second-best in the league). Simeone's squad also boasts the most reliable defense in the league, conceding just 0.91 goals per match. Whether the capital club can capitalize on their strengths will soon be revealed.
🔴 Midweek, the "Colchoneros" played their fourth-round match in the Champions League. The Spanish club hosted the reigning Belgian champions, Union Saint-Gilloise (3-1), on their home turf. Diego Simeone approached this encounter astutely, opting for a deliberate yet intense tactical style. The high activity of the wing midfielders facilitated constant movement in the midfield, effectively confusing the visitors. The expected goals ratio further underscores Atlético's well-deserved victory: 2.3 to 1.11. In the previous La Liga round, Simeone's side also showcased their attacking prowess with a commanding win over Sevilla (3-0).

Levante UD Team Overview
🔵 The "Frogs" are facing an inevitable issue - a loss of confidence. Over the last six rounds, the Valencia-based club has managed just one victory, which is far from satisfying their fans. Currently, Levante sit only 16th in the standings, sharing the same number of points as the relegation zone occupants - Valencia (9 points each). The primary weakness of Julian Calero's squad appears to be their defense. On average, the "Frogs" concede 1.82 goals per game (only Girona concedes more, with 2.18 per match). Interestingly, Levante perform significantly better on the road than at home, securing 8 points from 6 away games (the 6th best in the league).
🔴 The winless streak is placing considerable pressure on Levante's players. Last weekend, the "Frogs" once again failed to outplay their opponent, suffering a defeat to Celta (1-2) at the "Ciutat de València". An early red card for Unai Vencedor in the 29th minute disrupted Levante's tactical plan. Due to a lapse in concentration, the Valencia club couldn't maintain the draw, conceding to Miguel Roman in the 91st minute. The core of Levante's head coach's strategy is a 4-2-3-1 formation, which aims to maximize the benefits of transition phases while maintaining defensive compactness.

Latest news
Atletico Madrid
📰 This season, Giuliano Simeone is showing remarkable progress. The Argentine forward has been involved in scoring actions in 4 of the last 5 matches, underscoring his value and importance to the team. Moreover, he was named Atletico's Player of the Month for October. Another Argentine striker worth mentioning is Julian Alvarez. Among the "Colchoneros" fans, there's an uproar about how the 25-year-old forward, who had an outstanding year, was left off the list of nominees for The Best's top striker award. Nonetheless, Alvarez continues to win over fans' hearts. He has already matched Diego Costa's Champions League goal tally for Atletico with fewer games-9 goals in 13 matches. Costa needed 20 games to achieve this. Currently, only Saul (11) and Griezmann (39) surpass the Argentine in this regard.
❌ In Atletico's injury list, only Robin Le Normand remains sidelined after suffering a knee injury in the last match against Union Saint-Gilloise. The participation of Nico Gonzalez (muscle injury) and Jan Oblak (leg injury) in the upcoming match is still uncertain.
Levante UD
📰 Kerwin Arriaga, who scored for Levante in their recent clash against Celta (1-2), gave a brief interview to the club's media: "I'm very happy and glad to be here. I'm pleased with my personal achievements but disappointed with what we're doing at the team level. I believe the team has worked hard and deserves better results on the field." The midfielder admitted that from day one, he felt surrounded by the love of Levante's fans, which was one of the reasons he celebrated his first goal last Sunday by pointing to the crest. "It's because of the fans' love and the team's trust in me. Since arriving in Valencia, I've aimed to represent Levante as best as I can. I think this has been key for me. Scoring in one of the best leagues is amazing. I thought about it and without hesitation pointed to the logo that I represent and defend," he stated. Speaking about his dedication to matches, the Honduran footballer admitted he enjoys giving his all: "I love working hard, and when I'm on the pitch, I enjoy it. I don't like holding back, and I think that's evident on the field, which is important for the team."
❌ In Levante's injury list are Carlos Espi (hamstring injury), Pablo Martinez Andres (ankle injury), and Ivan Romero (muscle injury). Additionally, Unai Vencedor will be unavailable as he serves his suspension following a red card in the last match.

Levante are among the league's worst in terms of average corners earned per game, with about 3.3. Meanwhile, Atletico boast one of the best records for allowing corners, with just around 2.9 conceded per match.
