Levante vs Atlético de Madridprediction and how to watch

Prediction and how to watch for Levante vs Atlético de Madrid: everything you need to know before the game.

Levante host Atlético Madrid on Saturday 31 October at 07:00 (Mexico City time) at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia in LaLiga matchday 11.

The hosts are 14th with 10 points from 10 games. The visitors are second on 25 points, with a goal difference of +12.

Match preview

Levante end October in 14th place, with 10 points from 10 matches and a goal difference of -3. At home they have won two, drawn one and lost one, scoring 13 and conceding 10.

Recent form is patchy, with one win, two draws and two defeats from their last five. They lost 2-1 to Real Sociedad on 25 October, four days after beating Athletic Club 3-1.

Before that they drew 1-1 away at Deportivo La Coruña and 3-3 with Sevilla. This is a side that scores, but also concedes freely. Brugui leads the scoring charts with five goals, while Iván Romero has three.

Away from home the picture is different. They have not won in six trips, drawing three and losing three, and have scored only three goals. The Ciudad de Valencia remains their main source of points.

Atlético Madrid arrive in second place on 25 points. They are solid wherever they play, with four wins and a draw at home and four wins and a defeat on the road, scoring nine and conceding five away.

In their three most recent league outings they won 2-1 at Alavés, 1-0 at Espanyol and 1-0 against Deportivo La Coruña on 24 October. In the Champions League they beat Manchester United 2-0 and drew 1-1 at Stuttgart.

Álex Baena is the top scorer in the squad with five goals, followed by Jonathan David on three. Julián Álvarez also arrives having scored on the last league matchday.

The recent head-to-head favours Atlético. The sides drew 0-0 in Valencia on 31 January, and the Madrid club won 3-1 at home on 8 November 2025. Atlético also won 2-0 here in the 2023 Copa del Rey, while Levante won 1-0 in 2022 and the teams drew 2-2 in 2021.

Context matters too. Atlético have Bayern in the Champions League and Barcelona in LaLiga on the horizon, which could influence rotation. For Levante, a result would help them climb away from the lower half of the table.

Team news

Levante will be without Enzo Bardeli, who has a muscle injury. Dela is carrying an overload problem and his availability will be decided late. Brugui and Iván Romero were substituted early in the previous match, so their condition is worth monitoring. There are no suspensions.

Atlético are without Koke because of a muscle injury, while Johnny Cardoso, who has a thigh problem, is close to being ruled out. Cristian Romero returns from injury and is available, although it is unclear whether he will start given the Champions League and Barcelona fixtures. There are no suspensions either.

With Koke and Cardoso out, Pablo Barrios and Hjulmand have room in midfield. Pubill is ahead of Cristian Romero to partner Hancko at the back. The sources consulted do not confirm a Levante XI.
