Real Madrid have already won the league and the fans have gone wild! Even so, with the trophy already secured there could be issues regarding the team's motivation in this one.

Not much time to rest for the home side, as they played a La Liga fixture only four days back. That game was an away game at Atlético Madrid, so at least Madrid are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Levante form and stats

There's been little loot from Levante's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 17 away games in the La Liga. Levante only have 2 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 4 draws.

Levante go into this game after a win, the home game against Real Sociedad that ended 2-1. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Lisci when Melero scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 62nd minute. Midfield player Campaña was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.3/10. Campaña served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Before that, Levante travelled to Valencia and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

A new game in only three days for Levante, the La Liga home match versus Deportivo Alavés. Busy days.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Levante have scored 19 goals in 17 league games away. The Levante manager Lisci has some worries about the defense as 38 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less. The matches between these teams have had a tendency to be rough and physical, having seen 5 red cards from the last ten duels.
