Levante take on Atletico Madrid in La Liga. Atletico have had the better season by some distance, sitting well up the table, while Levante have found life much harder down near the bottom.
Atletico's recent results away from home haven't all been convincing either, so this isn't as one-sided as the table alone might suggest. Levante's own form has been patchy too, with some heavy defeats mixed in among the draws.

The League Table Gap
Atletico Madrid sit second with 16 points from seven games, built on five wins and just one defeat. Levante are down in 17th with only five points from six matches, having won once and lost three times.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Barcelona | 7 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 31/7 | 21 |
| 2 | Atletico Madrid | 7 | 5 | 1 | 1 | 16/7 | 16 |
| 3 | Real Betis | 7 | 5 | 1 | 1 | 9/7 | 16 |

| 17 | Levante | 6 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 8/12 | 5 |
| 18 | Elche | 7 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 11/17 | 5 |
That gap in points, and in goal difference, tells you plenty about where each side currently stands in the division.
The table alone points firmly towards Atletico, though it doesn't guarantee how one match plays out.

Players to Watch
Álex Baena has been in good scoring form for Atletico, with four goals in seven appearances, and Simeone has been chipping in with assists from midfield. Robin Le Normand has also picked up a red card in his last four outings, which is worth keeping in mind defensively.
For Levante, Brugui has three goals in five matches, so there's some attacking spark there even amid the club's wider struggles this season.
Levante's forward threat could give them a route back into games, even if the broader picture favours Atletico.

Taking everything together, Atletico look the stronger side across the table, recent form and the long head-to-head record. That said, Levante's recent meetings with Atletico have been tighter than the wider history suggests, and both sides have shown they're capable of inconsistent performances this season.
With no clear market to weigh up here, the sensible approach is to sit this one out rather than force a pick. The gap between the sides is real, but not so clean-cut that it removes the risk of a closer contest than the table implies.
