Levante vs Atlético Madrid: match details
- Competition: LaLiga 2026/27, round 10
- Date: Saturday, 31 October 2026
- Kick-off: 14:00 CET (13:00 GMT)

Recent form
Levante lost 2-1 away at Real Sociedad in their last league game. Their numbers so far this season show a team that scores goals but defends too loosely: 16 scored and 19 conceded in their first 10 league games.
Atlético Madrid come in on the back of a 1-0 home win over Deportivo, with Julián Álvarez scoring early in the second half. Diego Simeone’s side have been far tighter at the back, conceding only 8 goals in 10 league games while scoring 20.
Head-to-head
Atlético have the upper hand historically. According to a preview published earlier this year, their all-time LaLiga record against Levante stood at 18 wins, 6 draws and 8 defeats. Levante have been a stubborn opponent in recent seasons, though, and have taken points off Atlético more often than the overall record suggests.
Key battles
- Levante’s defence vs Atlético’s attack: with Álvarez and company in good form, Levante’s back line will be under pressure from the first minute.
- Midfield control: if Levante can disrupt Atlético’s rhythm in the middle, they can stay in the game and rely on set pieces.
- Atlético’s discipline: a clean sheet has been the foundation of their recent results.

Prediction
