Real Madrid vs Levante predictions: Goals expected
Key stats
- The last three H2Hs went above the 4.5-goal threshold.
- Five or more goals were scored in three of Real Madrid's last four matches.
- Both teams were on the scoresheet in seven of Real Madrid’s last eight games.
Correct score prediction: Real Madrid 3-1 Levante
Although Real Madrid are coming off back-to-back 3-2 defeats, it is important to note that they have won three consecutive La Liga games, scoring nine goals in the process.
Levante, on the other hand, have managed only one win in their last 10 league matches (D3, L6). They also suffered a humiliating 4-1 home defeat in the reverse fixture.
Keeping in mind that Real Madrid scored 10 goals in the last two skirmishes between these outfits, we are confident that Los Blancos will return to winning ways this weekend.

- DRAW: 15/2 (8.50) – 11.8%

Real Madrid's struggles continued with a disappointing 3-2 defeat against La Liga 2 side Albacete Balompie in the Copa del Rey earlier this week. They have now lost back-to-back games after stringing together a five-match winning streak.
On the other hand, Levante played out a 1-1 draw with Espanyol last weekend, extending their unbeaten run to three matches. They are 19th in La Liga ahead of their encounter with second-placed Real Madrid.
With that in mind, Real Madrid are the expected winners at 1/6 (1.17). Teams with these odds generally have an 85.7% probability of winning.

Real Madrid preview: Looking to get back on course
Real Madrid hit rock bottom following their exit from the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night to second-tier Albacete. Los Blancos now only have La Liga and the Champions League to fight for this season.
Ahead of this clash, the hosts remain without Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ferland Mendy, and Eder Militao due to injury, while Fede Valverde and Antonio Rudiger are doubtful.
Star forward Kylian Mbappe has returned to full training and is expected to return to the starting XI, probably with Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo Goes as partners in the final third.
Predicted lineup: Courtois (GK), Valverde, Asensio, Huijsen, Carreras, Tchouameni, Camavinga, Bellingham, Rodrygo, Vini & Mbappe.
Last five matches

Following his return from the Africa Cup of Nations with Cameroon, Etta Eyong was an 88th-minute substitute in Levante's last game, but he's expected to lead the line this weekend alongside Ivan Romero.
Predicted lineup: Ryan (GK), Matturro, Moreno, Adri, Toljan, Vencedor, Arriaga, Tunde, Martinez, Eyong & Romero.
