Real Madrid News and Form

It hasn’t been going all too brightly for Real Madrid recently. They are on a three-match winless streak of form in the Spanish top flight (D1 L2) and overall in their last five have picked up just one victory (W1 D2 L2). You would expect more from the reigning European champions. They lost 1-0 at Alaves just before the international break which means that they have failed to score in their last four games in all competitions, including their 1-0 Champions League loss against CSKA Moscow.

It may be worth a look under 2.5 goals at the moment then for 12/5 odds* (betting odds taken on October 17th, 2018 at 3:07 pm). A positive for them is they are undefeated at home with a W3 D1 record. They have averaged under two goals per game at home, conceding just the one goal in four. Only one of their games at the Bernabeu this season have produced at least three goals. It may be worth backing them to win to nil in this one.

Levante News and Form

Levante collected back to back wins over Alaves and Getafe before the international break. They were both one-goal margin wins moving Levante on to a W3 D1 L4 record for the season. They needed those wins as well because they were D1 L4 in their five previous league games. Out on the road in La Liga, they are W2 L2 coming up with just the two goals in their last three away games.

A Real Madrid 2-0 correct score option at 15/2 odds* (betting odds taken on October 17th, 2018 at 3:07 pm) does seem to fit the bill nicely here. All but one of the five away goals that Levante have scored this season have been in the second half of matches. All three of their away goals conceded have all been in the first fifteen minute period of the second half. It is a good time to be meeting Real Madrid, but will Levante be able to extend their good form?

Real Madrid v Levante Head to Head

Real Madrid have won four of the last six between these two in the Spanish top flight and are unbeaten in that sequence (D2). So they do have the form and each of their last three wins against Levante have been with a clean sheet as well. Real Madrid have scored at least two goals in five of their last six against them.

Real Madrid v Levante Predictions

Real Madrid to win: It has been poor stuff from Real Madrid, but we are going to back them to go and collect a win in this one. Levante are only just finding their feet and don’t have form in this fixture. Real Madrid to win to nil.
