Levante vs Atletico Madrid Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 31 October 2026
π Atletico Madrid face a week that could go a long way to deciding their title challenge. First they travel to Valencia, then three days later they host Bayern Munich in the Champions League, before facing Barcelona. Diego Simeone's side are just two points behind the La Liga leaders, so dropping points before that head-to-head is far from ideal. Levante, meanwhile, have had extra preparation time after their Copa del Rey match against TarancΓ³n was postponed. At the Ciudad de Valencia, the hosts are looking to make the most of that advantage and make life difficult for one of the title contenders.
π The situation ahead of the match may change, so we will continue to monitor the latest news and update this prediction. Check back throughout the day to stay up to date.
Atletico Madrid lead in the head-to-head record
π Across 33 meetings, Atletico Madrid have won 18 times, Levante have won eight, and seven have ended in draws. The average goals per game stands at 2.58. Atletico's historical advantage is clear, though they have not always been able to assert their status as favourites in Valencia. Last season, for example, Simeone's side won the home fixture 3-1 but could only manage a goalless draw at the Ciudad de Valencia.
Head-to-head statistics Levante - Atletico Madrid

Levante: more goals at home
Luis Castro's side have 10 points after ten rounds and sit 14th. Two wins, four draws and four defeats leave the Valencia club with little comfort. Their home form is a different story, though - across four matches Levante have scored 13 goals, winning two, drawing one and losing one.
The flip side of that attacking output is persistent defensive problems. Levante have conceded 10 times in their four home matches and 19 goals in total across the ten rounds. While they have scored in each of their last six league rounds, they have not kept a single clean sheet in that run. Against Atletico Madrid, those defensive vulnerabilities could cause them serious trouble at their own end.

Atletico Madrid: six wins in a row
Atletico Madrid have turned a poor start into a serious title challenge. After ten rounds they have 25 points, with eight wins, one draw and one defeat. They have won their last six La Liga matches and moved up to second place. Their away form has been impressive - four wins from five matches. Simeone has managed to restore the consistency that was missing in the opening weeks of the season.
Atletico's recent wins have come without the same volume of goals as before. Their last two league victories were by the minimum margin. Their defence, however, looks solid - eight goals conceded in ten rounds. With fixtures against Bayern and Barcelona coming up, the coaching staff will no doubt be thinking about managing the workload. But Atletico cannot afford to drop significant points in Valencia either.

Total Goals Prediction
Levante are among the most high-scoring teams in the division when it comes to goals scored and conceded. Across ten matchdays, their games have produced 35 goals - an average of 3.5 per match. At least three goals have been scored in 7 of their 10 matches. At the Ciudad de Valencia the numbers are even more striking - four home games have brought 23 goals, or 5.75 per match.
Atletico Madrid defend more solidly than most of Levante's previous opponents this season. In ten matchdays they have conceded just eight times, and their last two wins were both clean sheets. But Simeone's side have also scored 20 goals in the current campaign. Levante regularly give opponents chances around their own penalty area, yet at home they tend to find a response even against the stronger clubs. We're expecting a goal-filled game and are backing Total Goals - Over 2.5 at 1.55*.
Corners Prediction
Over the first ten rounds, Levante have averaged 3.4 corners per match. At home that figure is higher, at 4. However, Atletico Madrid are good at limiting opponents' attacking play. In this season's league, they allow an average of 2.9 corners per match. They tend to dominate possession and rarely let the opposition settle for long around their own penalty area. Levante will no doubt be bold at home, but against this kind of opponent their usual activity levels may drop. Our pick: Levante Team Total Corners - Under 4.5 at 1.67*.
Yellow Cards Prediction
Atletico Madrid have picked up 24 yellow cards in ten league rounds. Levante have just 16 bookings. The difference is also visible in foul counts: the Madrid side have committed 121 fouls compared to 105 for the Valencia club. Even with their results going well, Atletico have not shied away from physical play.
Levante are active at home and regularly force opponents to defend against quick attacks. On top of that, with important matches against Bayern and Barcelona coming up, Atletico's players will want to avoid unnecessary injuries, which makes it easier to stop dangerous attacks with tactical fouls. Our pick: Atletico Madrid Team Total Yellow Cards - Over 1.5.
Player Prop Bet
JuliΓ‘n Γlvarez is a long way from the form he showed last season. In La Liga this term, the Argentine has scored just one goal in six matches. He did manage to end a prolonged goalless run in the Champions League, though, scoring against Stuttgart. He is now gradually getting more playing time - he started against Deportivo, and the match against Levante could offer him plenty of chances. Levante concede an average of 1.9 goals per game, which makes them about as good an opponent as you could ask for when a striker needs to rebuild his confidence. Bet: JuliΓ‘n Γlvarez to Score.
High-Risk Bet
In their four home matches in the current league season, Levante have scored at least two goals in each one - and their opponents have included Barcelona, Betis and Sevilla. Atletico Madrid also average around two goals per game, though recently they have tended to win by the minimum margin.
Both clubs could produce a high-scoring game here. The biggest obstacle to that outcome, however, is Atletico's defence. They concede very little, so two goals from Levante would be something of a surprise. That said, the hosts' home record means it cannot be ruled out. If Levante take their chances, Atletico will need to respond. We're backing Both Teams to Score Over 1.5 Goals at 4.60*.
Safer Bet
Atletico Madrid have lost just once in ten league rounds, winning eight of them. They have been particularly strong away from the Metropolitano, winning four of their five away matches. Even when they fail to score early, Simeone's side know how to be patient and wear opponents down late in games. Recent results have confirmed that they do not need to score several goals to win.
Levante will be looking to spoil the favourites' evening. The Valencia side have already shown they can create chances against stronger clubs. But the hosts' defence makes too many mistakes at the moment, while Atletico Madrid are more consistent throughout a match. Even if the game turns out to be unexpectedly open, the visitors should avoid defeat. We're backing Atletico Madrid not to lose at 1.17*.
If the Match Takes a Different Turn
Atletico Madrid have not always been in a rush to settle things before half-time this season. In 8 of their 10 league matches, no more than one goal has been scored in the first 45 minutes. In the second half, however, their matches tend to become more productive as substitutions come on and pressure on the opposition defence increases.
Levante's home record is different - in 3 of their 4 matches at the Ciudad de Valencia, at least two goals had been scored before the break. That said, Atletico Madrid may look to cut out space for the hosts first before pushing forward more actively, and that pattern of play does not rule out several goals coming after half-time. We're backing Total Goals First Half - Under 1.5 at 1.60*.
βοΈ Editorial Prediction
Atletico Madrid arrive in Valencia as favourites, but Levante's productivity at home is worth noting. That said, the Madrid side have so far preferred to get results through defensive solidity and clinical use of their chances. Their class advantage is clear, but Levante are unlikely to make this a comfortable away trip for them.
On balance, we expect both sides to score. Atletico will surely create their chances, while the home side have enough about them to find the net in response. Predicted score: 2-2. Main bet: Both Teams to Score - Yes.
