Levante vs Atletico Madrid Prediction - Oct 31, 2026

Levante vs Atletico Madrid prediction and betting guide

Our Levante vs Atletico Madrid prediction looks ahead to Saturday, October 31, 2026, when the teams meet at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia. Kick-off is scheduled for 13:00 GMT, with Atlético arriving as clear favourites but Levante hoping to make home advantage count.

Form, tactics and important team news

Atlético Madrid begin the weekend in second place with 25 points. Diego Simeone’s side has won eight of its opening 10 La Liga matches and has remained unbeaten in the league for almost two months. A hard-fought 1-0 victory over Deportivo La Coruña continued that run, with Julián Alvarez scoring the decisive goal.

The visitors have also won four of five away league fixtures. Their organised defensive shape remains central to Simeone’s plan, but Atlético can change pace after the interval. Tactical adjustments at half-time helped produce the winner against Deportivo, so Levante cannot assume the same game pattern will continue for 90 minutes.

Jonathan David, on loan from Juventus, has quickly become another major threat with three goals and two assists from four league appearances. Lee Kang-in is available again after recovering from quadriceps discomfort. Johnny Cardoso will miss out, while captain Koke faces a late fitness test because of a hamstring problem. Away from the pitch, Atlético is also preparing contract talks with Simeone, whose current agreement expires in June 2027.

Levante sits 14th with 10 points after a difficult return to the top division. Luís Castro’s team produced an impressive 3-1 win over Athletic Club, inspired by two Roger Brugué goals, before losing 2-1 to Real Sociedad. With only one victory in seven league games, the hosts remain uncomfortably close to the relegation places.

Brugué, Levante’s leading scorer with five goals, is a serious doubt after suffering an injury against Real Sociedad. Defender Adrian De La Fuente is unavailable, although Hugo Sotelo has recovered from a right knee sprain. Without Brugué, Castro may favour a compact block and quick counterattacks rather than an open contest. Trying to trade chances with Atlético is rarely a relaxing Saturday activity.
