Main Tip: Over 2.5 goals
Our principal betting tip is that there is an expectation of more than 2.5 goals which is supported by the scoring tendencies shown by both teams lately. Levante’s matches have tended to produce multiple goals, and Atlético’s encounters often yield at least a couple of goals owing to their forward players and set-piece threat. Furthermore, Levante’s defensive frailties, especially at home, make them prone to conceding multiple goals, while Atlético have the attacking quality to capitalize. The odds for this outcome is 1.84 on 1xBet.
Betting Tips 2: Both teams score? Yes
This selection rests on the recent scoring patterns of both teams and Levante’s susceptibility at the back. Levante have shown they can find the net — their latest home win was a 3:2 result — but they have conceded 34 goals in league play, demonstrating defensive vulnerability. Atlético, while organised defensively, have conceded on a number of occasions away from home and typically seek to penetrate and score through quick transitions and set-piece efficiency. The combination of Levante’s need to attack at home and Atlético’s attacking intent increases the probability of both sides scoring. The best available odds for Both Teams to Score -Yes are offered at 1xBet at 1.77.
Our BTTS prediction is a sure way to predict teams that will find the back of the net in a match.
Betting Tip 3: Atletico Madrid Win
The main reason for this selection is the considerable gulf in overall quality and consistency between the sides. Atlético have accumulated 44 points from 21 matches, boasting 13 wins and a strong defensive ledger of only 17 goals conceded all season. Levante, by contrast, have managed just 17 points and have struggled at home (only 1 win at Ciudad de Valencia). Although Levante’s recent five-game sequence indicates some resilience, Atlético’s superior squad depth, tactical discipline under Diego Simeone and ability to grind out results away from home make them the logical favourites. The best available odds for the away win (Tip 2) are listed at 1xBet with an odd of 1.68.
Statistics for Levante UD vs Atlético Madrid
Levante UD team news!
Coach Emily Lima inherits a squad that has struggled for consistency in La Liga. Levante sit 19th with 17 points from 22 trips to the league table, having recorded 4 wins, 5 draws and 11 defeats, and a goal difference of 24:34. Their home form is of particular concern: at Ciudad de Valencia they have managed just 1 home victory, alongside 3 draws and 5 defeats. Match-to-match, Levante’s coach will likely emphasise compactness and quick transitions to exploit any space left by Atlético, while attempting to shore up a back line that has conceded too frequently. Recent momentum — two wins, two draws and one defeat in their last five matches — suggests improvement, but the difficulty of the opposition will be a stern test.
Atlético Madrid team news!
Under Diego Simeone, Atlético Madrid remain one of the league’s most difficult teams to break down, despite a recent uncharacteristic setback in Europe. Atlético occupy 3rd position with 44 points, displaying a record of 13 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats and an efficient goals tally of 38 scored and only 17 conceded. Their away record is relatively solid with 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats. Simeone is likely to select a side that balances defensive solidity with incisive forward options, aiming to control midfield battles and limit Levante’s counter-attacking opportunities. Atlético’s form over the last five matches—three wins, one draw and one defeat—indicates they are in a favourable position to secure a result here.

The visitors combine superior league placement, a robust defensive record and sufficient attacking firepower to impose themselves.
