Levante vs Atletico Madrid Prediction & Betting Tips - Copa del Rey

Prediction published on 16/01/2023, 15:04  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

Atletico Madrid have had a torrid time in La Liga in recent matches and will be glad to shift attention to the Copa del Rey, where they travel to Levante for a round of 16 game. Levante are going into this game in a strong position, unbeaten in 17 matches and three wins in their last four matches. They are third in the Segunda Division and vying for promotion. Their scoring run is great, having netted two or more goals in three of the last four matches, and only failing to score in one of their last five games. Four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and both teams have scored in all of their last four matches. They have only one clean sheet in the last five games and they go into this game with three straight home wins. While they play in a league lower than Atletico, Levante will be confident going into this game as they are unbeaten in four games against Atletico.

Atletico are coming into this game winless in their last two matches. Their most recent game ended 1-1 against Almeria in a game they finished with 10 men after Sergio Reguillon was sent off late. They have had three players sent off in their last four matches and this should be a concern for Atleti manager Diego Simeone. However, failing to score in just one of their last five matches means they have a strong base going into this game, though they have just two clean sheets in the last five matches. Both teams have scored in two of their last five matches and Atletico have scored two or more goals in three of their last five matches. They have three away wins in five matches and only two clean sheets in the last 10 away matches.
