Atletico Madrid vs Levante Betting Tips

The Valencia club have lost their last 4 matches in all competitions and have only won twice so far this season so it is no surprise to see them propping up the division however they haven’t been cut adrift yet and they are only 4 points off safety. However if they suffer what should be an inevitable defeat then that margin could grow and Levante could be left with a huge task in the Second half of the season to retain their top flight status.

Atletico Madrid were 2 minutes away from dropping points in a Second consecutive league match in midweek but Angel Correa and Antoine Griezmann popped up with goals in the closing moments to secure an important 2-0 win at local rivals Rayo Vallecano. The result leaves Atleti level on points with Barcelona at the top and two points clear of Real Madrid.

Apart from a 1-0 defeat at Malaga just before Christmas, Atletico have been in excellent form. The defeat at La Rosaleda was their only one in their last 17 matches in all competitions and they’ve won 10 of their last 11.

It is also 7 wins in a row at the Vicente Calderon where they are very strong and against the worst team in the league they should have no problem racking up another maximum points. Atleti rarely win big like their main title rivals but this is the perfect opportunity to score a few goals and build some confidence in their attacking play. At 11/8 they look good value to win both halves.

Atletico have easily the best defensive record in the league having conceded just 8 times in 17 matches so far and this looks an almost certain home clean sheet. They should win this comfortably enough given the gulf in class between the sides so consider backing Atletico Madrid to win 3-0 at 9/2.
