Levante are without a league win this season, drawing five and losing five.
Atletico Madrid have lost just one of their opening nine games, winning five including three victories from four on the road.
Under 2.5 goals have been netted in seven of Levante’s outings this term and in the last three meetings between the sides.
Atleti out to avenge shock February reverse

Levante ran out shock 2-0 winners when these sides last met at Wanda Metropolitano in February, but Atletico Madrid can avenge that result in this Thursday’s clash at Ciutat de Valencia.

The loss to Levante was a rare blip in Atleti’s superb title winning campaign, however, questions will be asked this time around should Los Colchoneros fail to get the better of Granotas who are winless after their opening ten league games (D5, L5).

It’s fair to say that Atleti have been far from stellar up to press this term, though they’ve done enough to stay in amongst the early pace-setters with five wins, three draws and just one defeat from their first nine matches.

Indeed, a win here will at the very least keep them three points behind leaders Real Sociedad who they drew 2-2 against at the weekend, and Diego Simeone’s men also have an important game in hand up their sleeve.

Straightforward night ahead for the champions

Three of Atleti’s victories thus far have been posted from their four away trips, and while Levante have managed to avoid defeat in three of their four home starts, it’s difficult to envisage Javier Pereira’s men being good enough to earn anything from this fixture.

Their 5-3 beating at Sevilla on Sunday leaves Granotas second bottom in the early standings, and it looks like Levante have a long an arduous campaign ahead based on everything we’ve seen up to now.

It’s the champions to win this one for us, and with under 2.5 goals netted in seven of the hosts’ games this season and in the last three meetings between the teams, we’re also going for a 2-0 correct score prediction, which would see Levante fail to strike for

莱万特本赛季没有取得联赛胜利，五平五负。
马德里竞技在他们的开局九场比赛中只输了一场，赢得了五场比赛，其中包括四场客场比赛中的三场胜利。
本赛季莱万特七场比赛的进球都在2.5以下，最近三场比赛的进球都在2.5以下。
马竞出来复仇，震惊二月逆转

莱万特在2月的万达城上以2-0击败了马竞，但在本周四对阵瓦伦西亚的比赛中，马竞可以为这一结果复仇。

在马竞辉煌的冠军之旅中，输给莱万特是一个罕见的事件，然而，如果科尔科罗尼斯队不能战胜格拉纳塔斯队，那么问题就来了。格拉纳塔斯队在联赛的前十场比赛中都没有赢过球(D5, L5)。

公平地说，马竞在本赛季的表现远不是很出色，尽管他们在前九场比赛中取得了5胜3平1负的成绩，保持在早期的领跑者之列。

事实上，一场胜利至少会让他们落后领头羊皇家社会三分，他们在周末2-2战平了皇家社会，而迭戈·西蒙尼的球员们也有一场重要的比赛要打。

冠军即将迎来一个直截了当的夜晚

迄今为止，马竞技队的三场胜利都是在四次客场比赛中取得的，而莱万特在四次主场比赛中有三次成功避免了失利，很难想象哈维尔·佩雷拉的球员能够从这场比赛中获得任何东西。

他们在周日5-3击败塞维利亚，使格拉纳塔斯在早期排名第二，根据我们目前所看到的一切，莱万特似乎有一个漫长而艰巨的竞选。

这是我们的冠军，在本赛季东道主的7场比赛和两队最近的3次交锋中，我们的进球都在2.5个以下，我们还将进行2-0的正确预测，这将导致莱万特未能进球
