Levante will host Atletico Madrid in a LaLiga encounter featuring a mid‑table side seeking consistency against visitors who remain unbeaten in their last three matches.
Atletico Madrid arrive fresh from three consecutive victories, including a 1‑0 win over Deportivo on October 24, a 1‑0 triumph over Espanyol on October 17, and a 2‑1 success against Alaves on October 10. Under Diego Simeone, the side has learned to secure narrow results rather than dominate by large margins, and another win would extend their winning streak while keeping them firmly in the title race.
Levante projected lineup
Levante are set up in a 4‑3‑3 formation under manager Luís Castro, with Mathew Ryan guarding the goal behind a defensive line of Nacho Pérez Gómez, Ifeanyi Ndukwe, Aïssa Mandi and Manu Sánchez. The midfield trio of Jon Ander Olasagasti, Oriol Rey and Daniel Requena will aim to dictate the tempo against a potent Atletico midfield, while the attacking trio of Brugué, Iván Romero de Ávila Araque and Thiago Fernández will provide the forward threat. The side is missing Enzo Bardeli and Roger Brugué, both unavailable, which limits squad depth for this challenging home match.
Levante projected starting XI (4-3-3): Mathew Ryan, Nacho Pérez Gómez, Ifeanyi Ndukwe, Aïssa Mandi, Manu Sánchez, Jon Ander Olasagasti, Oriol Rey, Daniel Requena, Brugué, Iván Romero de Ávila Araque, Thiago Fernández. Coach: Luís Castro.
Atletico Madrid projected lineup
Atletico Madrid are arranged in a 4‑4‑2 formation under Diego Simeone, with Jan Oblak in goal behind a back four comprising Marc Pubill, Cristian Romero, Dávid Hancko and Alex Grimaldo. The midfield is anchored by Giuliano Simeone, Marcos Llorente, Pablo Barrios and Álex Baena, providing support for a forward partnership of Jonathan Dávid and Julián Álvarez. Although Koke and Johnny are sidelined, the remaining roster retains considerable attacking quality for the away fixture.
