Will the Colchoneros stumble on the Spanish east coast?
Atlético Madrid finished the Champions League group stage in 14th place this week and will now have to go through the playoffs. This was a setback for Diego Simeone’s team, which had already beaten last year’s finalist Inter Milan 2-1, but then only managed to secure one point out of a possible six from its two January games against Galatasaray (1-1) and Bodö/Glimt (1-2).
In La Liga, however, the Colchoneros are still in third place, which they now have to defend. However, the home side has recently experienced a small upswing, which cannot be ignored in the Levante vs. Atletico Madrid prediction.
The Granotes made another change on the bench at the end of last year. Under Luis Castro, they picked up an impressive seven out of a possible twelve points in the 2026 calendar year, allowing Leva to close the gap on the first non-relegation spot to five points.
Atletico Madrid are a different caliber of opponent coming to the Estadio Ciutat de València. However, considering that the Rojiblancos have won only three of their ten league games away from home, we would not rule out the home team gaining a point. The Levante vs. Atletico Madrid prediction that the Madrid side will score a maximum of one away goal, regardless of the outcome of the match, is very interesting.
Alternatively, an Asian handicap on the hosts would also be a good bet. Using the bet365 app, you can bet on Levante vs. Atlético Madrid at odds of 1.55 for a +1.25 on the kickers from the Spanish east coast, which covers many eventualities given that we don’t expect a high-scoring match.
In fact, Leva has lost only one of its last five La Liga games against the Colchoneros (two wins, two draws), so another point would not come out of nowhere.
Levante – Atletico Madrid Head-to-head record
Head to head: 10 – 7 – 23
A total of 40 matches have already taken place between the two clubs, with Atletico Madrid leading the head-to-head record against Levante UD with 23 wins. Recently, however, the Colchoneros have repeatedly struggled against Valencia’s oldest club. Diego Simeone’s team has won only one of its last five La Liga games against the Granotes (two draws, two defeats).
Levante – Atletico Madrid Tip
In our opinion, the betting odds from the best bookmakers are leaning far too heavily in favor of the visitors from the capital, who, according to rumors, have reached an agreement with Leon Goretzka and would like to bring the 30-year-old German to the largest city in Southern Europe before the winter transfer window closes.
However, the Colchoneros have won only three of their ten La Liga away games in 2025/26, which means that the three-way system is clearly not recommended due to the low odds offered for tip 2. After all, the Granotes have also shown an upward trend, picking up seven out of a possible twelve points under their new coach.
The Rojiblancos, on the other hand, are also struggling to score goals in the wake of Antoine Griezmann’s thigh injury. Diego Simeone’s team has scored more than one goal in only one of its last seven competitive games across all competitions. Accordingly, the prediction for Levante vs. Atletico Madrid is that the Colchoneros will score a maximum of one goal on the east coast of Spain.
