Rely on the La Liga predictions to remain at the centre of the most accurate sports betting data in the Spanish top division.
Main Betting Tip: Both teams score? Yes
The first betting tip predicts that both teams will score (Yes). Despite their superior status, Real Madrid have conceded 17 goals this season and have seen opponents’ goal scorers in multiple games; their last five-match sample shows a mix of defensive solidity and lapses. Levante, while porous, has shown they can find the net even when struggling — their recent fixtures include scoring contributions and a home draw where they earned a goal. Therefore, a market that both teams will score is plausible: Real Madrid should create ample chances, while Levante have the attacking impetus to convert at least once on the counter or from set-pieces.
Best available odds for the BTTS market from the provided data: Both teams YES at 1xBet with odds 1.86 (1xBet). Note that the no option is quoted at the same odds in the provided list, which indicates balanced pricing on this market at the specific bookmaker snapshot.
Betting Tip 2: Real Madrid Win
The second betting prediction for this fixture is a home victory for Real Madrid. The justification is straightforward: Real Madrid are significantly superior in the league table, possess a potent attacking record (41 goals scored) and have been particularly dominant at the Bernabéu (8 wins, 0 draws, 1 defeat at home). Their overall form across all competitions also indicates more wins than defeats in the recent sample, and they will be highly motivated to rebound following their most recent away reverse. Levante, by contrast, are in the relegation zone, have conceded 30 goals already and struggle to impose themselves away from home. The quality gap in personnel, squad depth and home advantage all point to a clear favourite in this match.
Betting Tip 3: Under 3.5 goals
The third selection is under 3.5 goals. While Real Madrid possesses a strong attack, Levante’s defensive record and the likelihood that Real Madrid will control possession and tempo suggest a match that may not exceed a high-goal threshold. Real Madrid often manages games by controlling play and protecting leads rather than pressing for excessively large scorelines, particularly against teams that will sit deep and prioritise defensive organisation. Levante’s pragmatic approach as a struggling side may encourage low-risk defending and reliance on sporadic transitions, keeping the total goal count modest.

Statistics for Real Madrid vs Levante UD
Real Madrid team news!
Coach: Arbeloa.
Real Madrid occupy second position in the Primera División with 45 points, compiled from 14 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats, and they have scored 41 goals while conceding 17. Their home record is particularly impressive: 8 wins, no draws and a single defeat at the Bernabéu. Over the last five matches in all competitions Real Madrid have recorded three wins and two defeats, which points to a team capable of decisive results but not immune to occasional setbacks. Their most recent competitive outing concluded in a 2:3 away loss at Albacete, indicating some potential defensive fragility that Levante will look to exploit. Under Arbeloa, Real Madrid will be expected to press their advantage, control the game and aim for a statement home performance.
Levante UD team news!
Coach: Emily Lima.
Levante sit 19th in the table with 14 points, the product of 3 wins, 5 draws and 10 defeats; they have scored 21 goals and conceded 30. Their away record reads 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats — a mixed return that shows occasional capability to take points on the road but also frequent defensive shortcomings. In their last five matches across competitions Levante have managed one win, two draws and two defeats, reflecting inconsistent form and difficulties in sustaining positive results. Their most recent match ended in a 1:1 home draw versus Espanyol, which signals some resilience but not enough to suggest a comfortable outing at the Bernabéu.
H2H statistics
In the last five meetings between the clubs across all competitions, Real Madrid have won three times, there has been one draw and Levante have won once. The last direct meeting produced a 4:1 victory for Real Madrid away from home, underscoring the historical tendency for Real Madrid to dominate this fixture.
Last results Real Madrid
Over the last five matches in all competitions Real Madrid have amassed three wins and suffered two defeats. Their current form is therefore mixed: capable of winning convincingly, but not immune to reverses. The most recent defeat away at Albacete is a recent blemish that the side will seek to correct at home.
Last results Levante UD
Levante’s last five matches show one win, two draws and two defeats. That sequence highlights a team struggling for consistent positive outcomes, with defensive frailties and intermittent attacking returns. Their recent draw at home suggests they can be stubborn, but sustained resilience has been lacking across the campaign.

Conclusion
Considering league positions, season-long statistics and recent form, Real Madrid are clear favourites to win this encounter at the Bernabéu. Their superior goalscoring record, formidable home performances and greater squad quality under coach Arbeloa make them the logical pick. Levante’s defensive record, away inconsistencies and overall lower table position under Emily Lima suggest they will find it difficult to contain Real Madrid for the full 90 minutes. Accordingly, the recommended outcome is a home win for Real Madrid (main prediction), combined with an expectation that both teams will find the net and that the match will remain under 3.5 goals overall.
