Levante welcome Atletico Madrid to the Ciutat de València on Halloween 2026, with both sides experiencing contrasting fortunes heading into this La Liga clash. The home side, languishing with a 23% win rate and just 35 goals scored this season, have shown a slight upturn in their last five outings, registering two wins, two draws, and a single defeat. This mini-resurgence offers a glimmer of hope against a formidable Atletico.
Diego Simeone's men, despite their impressive 55% win rate and 51 goals, arrive in less convincing form, having lost three of their last five league fixtures. This dip has seen their title challenge falter slightly, making this encounter crucial for their ambitions. Recent head-to-head encounters have been tight, including a goalless draw earlier this season and a surprising 1-0 win for Levante in 2024. With a 45% draw probability, a cagey affair is expected. Atletico’s defensive solidity will be tested by a Levante side desperate for points, making the midfield battle and clinical finishing key to breaking the deadlock.
