Winner

Levante’s 3–1 victory over Athletic Club has made this a more interesting trip for Atlético Madrid. The hosts are unbeaten in three league games and have scored freely at the Ciutat. Atlético arrive with the stronger record, including five straight league wins, and their latest away victories have been close. Levante’s home scoring makes this a less straightforward Spanish La Liga betting fixture than the league table suggests. The early preference is a narrow Atlético win, with draw no bet the main selection. Team news is current to 23 October.

Levante Vs. Atlético Madrid Prediction: Who Should Win on 31 October?

Atlético Madrid are the preferred winner because of their five consecutive league victories, strong away results and lower concession rate. Levante’s home attack is the main concern, with injuries adding uncertainty. The winner forecast favours Atlético; draw no bet is the recommended market because it allows for a level finish.

League Form and Venue Records Behind the Winner Pick

Atlético’s four away wins in five trips outweigh Levante’s mixed overall form. Levante’s two home victories and 13 home goals make an easy visiting win harder to support.

Wins over Real Sociedad and Real Madrid give Atlético’s sequence substance. Their recent margins against Alavés and Espanyol are closer to the expected game here. Levante have beaten Betis and Athletic at home, so the home threat comes from results as well as scoring totals. Midfield fitness remains important for both teams.

What the Earlier Results Change About the Prediction

January’s 0–0 draw supports allowing room for another level result. Atlético’s preceding home victory supplies a different outcome, with the older meetings carrying less weight than this season’s performances.

The five league games in the sample contain two Levante wins, two draws and one Atlético victory. The separate cup result should not be used to inflate Atlético’s recent league record against these opponents.

Final Score Prediction and the Leading Bet

The final forecast is Levante 1–2 Atlético Madrid, with Atlético draw no bet the leading selection. The hosts’ scoring supports a home goal, and the visitors’ recent results give them the edge.

Comparing La Liga football odds for the away win and draw no bet helps show how much return is being exchanged for the draw refund. The recommendation depends on that price and the players available. Draw protection is only worthwhile if the available return is acceptable.

How Are Levante Building Momentum Before Facing Atlético Madrid?

Levante are 11th with ten points from nine league matches. Their recent improvement has come through scoring rather than clean sheets, with 15 goals scored and 17 conceded overall. Thirteen of those goals came at home, where they have enough attacking threat to trouble Atlético despite the gap in points.

Levante’s Recent League Results and the Progress Behind Them

Levante have taken five points from their latest five league matches, ending that run with three games unbeaten. The Athletic win followed draws against Deportivo and Sevilla, lifting confidence after defeats to Villarreal and Barcelona.

One win, two draws and two defeats brought ten goals scored and twelve conceded. Levante scored eight and conceded eight across those three home games. Three unbeaten matches represent progress, though conceding in all five leaves the defence with work to do before Atlético visit.

Their full home record is two wins, one draw and one defeat, with 13 goals scored and ten conceded. A 5–2 win over Betis adds substance to the Athletic result. Their five away games have produced three draws, two defeats and only two goals, making the venue especially important here.

Levante Players by Position for the 2026–27 Season

Levante’s season squad includes Ryan in goal, Mandi in defence and Romero among the forwards. Squad membership is separate from fitness and selection for 31 October; injured players remain part of the season group.

• Goalkeepers: Pablo Cuñat, Mathew Ryan and Álex Primo.
• Defenders: Aïssa Mandi, Ifeanyi Ndukwe, Adrián de la Fuente, Jorge Cabello, Víctor García, Jeremy Toljan, Manu Sánchez, Nacho Pérez and Marc Santos.
• Midfielders: Hugo Sotelo, Dani Requena, Jon Ander Olasagasti, Axel Tape, Enzo Bardeli, Oriol Rey, Thiago Fernández and Paco Cortés.
• Forwards: Roger Brugué, Iván Romero, Petar Ratkov, Yanis Kasonga Musuayi and Etta Eyong.

The club’s wider number allocation also includes Ihor Galdin. Manel Usedo and Alberto Calatrava appear in wider competition listings, which do not confirm a place in the match squad.

Bardeli and De la Fuente are not included in the projected starting XI. Etta Eyong returned from the bench and scored against Athletic, strengthening his claim for more minutes. Sotelo was also among the substitutes.

Levante’s Predicted Formation and Places Still to Be Decided

A 4–4–2 retaining the Athletic starters is the early projection. Ryan stays in goal, Olasagasti and Requena form the central midfield, and Romero partners Ratkov. The starting team has not been announced.

• Goalkeeper: Mathew Ryan.
• Right-back: Jeremy Toljan.
• Centre-backs: Aïssa Mandi and Ifeanyi Ndukwe.
• Left-back: Manu Sánchez.
• Right midfield: Roger Brugué.
• Central midfield: Jon Ander Olasagasti and Dani Requena.
• Left midfield: Thiago Fernández.
• Forwards: Iván Romero and Petar Ratkov.

Ryan has started all nine league matches. Brugué’s movement from the right gives the front pair extra support, and Romero has three league goals. Etta Eyong is a clear alternative after his scoring return. Rey and Sotelo provide midfield options; De la Fuente needs a positive fitness update to challenge in defence.

Levante visit Real Sociedad on 25 October and Tarancón in the cup on 28 October. The short turnaround makes recovery important. Luís Castro’s decisions will depend on those minutes and the players’ condition, not simply the presence of a cup match in the schedule.

How Are Atlético Madrid Placed Before Visiting Levante?

Atlético are second with 22 points from nine games, recording seven wins, one draw and one defeat. They have scored 19 goals and conceded eight. Four victories in five away fixtures strengthen their case in Valencia, where Levante’s home scoring should provide a tougher test than the standings alone imply.

Atlético Madrid’s Domestic Results Before the Valencia Trip

Atlético have won their latest five league games, scoring twelve times and conceding twice. Their latest two away wins were by one goal, giving stronger support to a narrow victory than a large handicap.

Five wins delivered 15 points, with three away victories contributing six goals and one concession. The comfortable wins over Real Sociedad and Osasuna preceded three victories by a single goal. Atlético have kept finding a way through close matches, which supports the winner selection more clearly than a demand for another emphatic score.

Their complete away record contains four wins and a 3–0 defeat at Athletic, with nine goals scored and five conceded. The successful trips were to Sevilla, Real Sociedad, Alavés and Espanyol. Baena settled the Espanyol game in the 89th minute after coming off the bench.

The 1–1 draw at Stuttgart on 20 October was a Champions League result. Atlético host Deportivo on 24 October and Bayern Munich on 3 November. The Levante match falls between those fixtures, giving the coaching staff decisions to make over recovery and selection. 

Atlético Madrid Players by Position for the 2026–27 Season

Atlético’s season group includes David, Lookman and Álvarez in attack, with Baena and Lee offering creative support. The available players for Levante will depend on fitness updates and the official match squad.

• Goalkeepers: Jan Oblak, Juan Musso and Salvi Esquivel.
• Defenders: Marc Pubill, Cristian Romero, Dávid Hancko, Alejandro Grimaldo, Robin Le Normand and Dani Martínez.
• Midfielders: Obed Vargas, Rodrigo Mendoza, Johnny Cardoso, Koke, Pablo Barrios, Álex Baena, Lee Kang-In, Marcos Llorente and Morten Hjulmand.
• Forwards: Alexander Sørloth, Ademola Lookman, Jonathan David, Arnau Ortiz, Julián Álvarez and Giuliano Simeone.

Wider competition listings also include Javier Gil, Jorge Domínguez, Arnau Solà, Jorge Castillo and Miguel Cubo. Their inclusion does not confirm first-team selection. Martínez has already made league starts, giving him a recent senior role.

Cardoso’s medical update on 22 October confirmed a low-grade thigh muscle injury. Koke has a left-thigh muscle injury, and Cristian Romero missed Stuttgart with a muscular strain. Their return dates remain uncertain. Sørloth has returned to league involvement, so his earlier injury is not sufficient reason to list him as unavailable.

Atlético’s Possible Starting Team and Selection Alternatives

The projected 4–4–2 pairs David with Lookman and puts Baena and Giuliano Simeone on the sides. Barrios and Hjulmand provide the central midfield, with Le Normand replacing the recovering Cristian Romero.

• Goalkeeper: Jan Oblak.
• Right-back: Marc Pubill.
• Centre-backs: Robin Le Normand and Dávid Hancko.
• Left-back: Alejandro Grimaldo.
• Right midfield: Giuliano Simeone.
• Central midfield: Pablo Barrios and Morten Hjulmand.
• Left midfield: Álex Baena.
• Forwards: Jonathan David and Ademola Lookman.

David has three league goals and two assists from five appearances. Álvarez replaced Lookman at half-time against Espanyol and remains a strong alternative. Lee can change the attacking shape, and Sørloth provides another central option. Llorente and Mendoza can alter the midfield balance.

Martínez started at Espanyol before Grimaldo replaced him at the interval. Hancko can play in more than one defensive position, giving further flexibility. The Deportivo match will offer a fresher selection reference. Bayern’s upcoming visit may influence planning, without proving that any particular player will be rested.

Levante Vs. Atlético Madrid Past Results: League and Cup Encounters

The latest six competitive meetings contain two wins each and two draws. Atlético’s 2023 victory came in the Copa del Rey, with the other five fixtures played in La Liga. January’s goalless draw is the newest meeting at the Ciutat. The older games explain the mixed history without telling us much about the current squads, their fitness or this season’s home and away performances.

January 2026: Neither Team Scores at the Ciutat

The latest completed meeting ended in a 0–0 draw in Valencia on 31 January 2026. Neither side found a breakthrough in the La Liga fixture at the Ciutat. 

Its clean sheets deserve attention when assessing goals. The players selected that day belong to January’s game and are not the confirmed teams for October.

November 2025: Atlético Score Three in Madrid

Atlético beat Levante 3–1 at home on 8 November 2025. It was Atlético’s only league win in this six-match list.

The venue matters. A successful home performance does not establish the same winning margin away, especially against a Levante attack currently scoring regularly at the Ciutat.

January 2023: Atlético Advance Through the Cup Tie

Atlético won 2–0 at Levante in the Copa del Rey round of 16 on 18 January 2023. Álvaro Morata and Marcos Llorente scored the goals.

Morata opened the scoring in the 54th minute and Llorente added the second in stoppage time. Atlético reached the quarter-finals against a Levante side then playing in the second division.

February 2022: Levante Take the Points Away

Levante won 1–0 in Madrid on 16 February 2022. Gonzalo Melero scored the decisive goal after half-time, securing an away league victory.

The result shows that Atlético have not controlled every meeting. Its relevance to this fixture is limited by the time elapsed and the changes to both squads.

October 2021: Levante Recover Twice to Draw

Levante drew 2–2 with Atlético in Valencia on 28 October 2021. Enis Bardhi scored two penalties, including the late equaliser, to cancel out two visiting leads.

Antoine Griezmann scored first and Matheus Cunha later restored Atlético’s advantage. Bardhi’s second penalty rescued a point. That match offers no reliable reason to expect another penalty here.

February 2021: Levante Win Without Conceding in Madrid

Levante won 2–0 away to Atlético on 20 February 2021. A Mario Hermoso own goal put the visitors ahead, and Jorge de Frutos added the second in stoppage time.

De Frutos scored with Oblak committed forward as Atlético searched for an equaliser. It was Levante’s second victory in this six-match sample.

Levante Vs. Atlético Madrid Betting Tips and Market-by-Market Picks

Atlético draw no bet is the main selection. The other markets are alternatives with their own risks, and several need a confirmed starter or an available line before a bet makes sense.

Anyone learning how to place a football bet should understand the chosen market before committing money. Full-match bets generally cover 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Player participation and settlement rules vary, and selections involving the same goals can lose together. Treat these markets as alternatives rather than combining them on one slip.

Full-Time Winner: Atlético’s Away Case Against Levante’s Improvement

Atlético are the preferred outright winner. A draw remains possible, and Levante’s two home victories give the hosts a genuine route to all three points.

The visitors have won four of five league trips. Their latest two away wins were narrow, which keeps confidence measured against a home side scoring regularly.

Match Pick: Atlético Madrid to win is the outright choice. Draw no bet remains preferable overall, so an unprotected away bet needs enough extra return to justify losing the stake if the match finishes level.

Double Chance: Whether Covering the Draw Suits This Match

Atlético or draw covers an away win and a level finish. A Levante victory is the only losing result, making this the broader result-based option.

Four Levante league matches have ended level, including two in their latest three. That makes draw coverage relevant, especially with the visitors’ recent winning margins so small.

Match Pick: Atlético Madrid or draw is the double-chance selection. Its reduced return needs consideration alongside draw no bet, where a draw refunds the stake instead of winning the wager. Choose one rather than duplicating the same opinion.

Draw No Bet: Keeping the Winner Opinion Without Losing on a Draw

Atlético draw no bet is the leading recommendation. An away win pays, a draw returns the stake and a Levante victory loses.

The selection fits Atlético’s stronger results without requiring Levante’s improvement to disappear. A refund protects only the draw outcome; it provides no protection against a home upset.

Match Pick: Atlético Madrid draw no bet best matches the narrow away preference. A weakened visiting midfield or a very small return would reduce its appeal, so the recommendation remains dependent on the actual team and available price.

Asian Handicap: Separating an Atlético Win From a Winning Margin

Atlético −0.25 is the handicap alternative. Half the stake goes on Atlético level and half on Atlético −0.5, avoiding a demand for a large win.

An away victory wins both portions. A draw loses half the stake and refunds half; a home victory loses both. That draw settlement makes it riskier than the main recommendation.

Match Pick: Atlético Madrid −0.25 suits a narrow away-win opinion if its price compensates for the half-loss on a draw. The recent one-goal victories provide little reason to demand a bigger margin.

Total Goals: Levante’s Recent Scoring Meets Atlético’s Defence

Over 2.5 goals is the preferred total, provided the main attackers are involved. Every Levante home league game has produced at least four goals.

Atlético have conceded five times in five away games, presenting a stronger defensive challenge. Four of the selected six meetings finished below this line, including the latest goalless draw.

Match Pick: Over 2.5 goals fits the expected three-goal finish. Levante’s current home record supplies the strongest support, with Atlético’s defence the main obstacle. This is an alternative to the result bet, not a necessary addition.

Both Teams to Score: Can Levante Contribute Against the Visitors?

Both teams to score is the secondary selection. Levante have scored in all four home games, and Atlético have scored on four of five trips.

The home side have 13 goals at the Ciutat, giving their own attack a clear case. Atlético’s nine away goals support the visitors independently of the winner forecast.

Match Pick: Both teams to score, yes is reasonable with the expected forwards involved. Atlético’s away clean sheets remain a warning, and an away win can still happen without a Levante goal. The two markets are not interchangeable.

Levante Team Goals: The Chances Behind a Home Breakthrough

Levante over 0.5 team goals requires one home goal. They have scored at least twice in every home league game, including against Barcelona.

Romero and Brugué offer regular attacking involvement, with Etta Eyong back among the scoring options. Atlético’s eight concessions in nine matches suggest fewer openings than some earlier opponents allowed.

Match Pick: Levante over 0.5 team goals is the home-scoring choice. Retaining their usual attacking players would support it; raising the line to two goals would ask much more against the visitors’ relatively effective defence.

Atlético Team Goals: Whether Their Attack Can Score More Than Once

Atlético over 1.5 team goals matches the forecast. They have scored twice or more on three of their five league trips this season.

Levante have conceded ten goals in four home fixtures. David provides a central threat, and Baena’s output adds another source of goals beyond the forwards. Espanyol still showed that restricting Atlético to one is possible.

Match Pick: Atlético Madrid over 1.5 team goals is the attacking alternative. It needs two away goals regardless of the result, so even a successful one-goal Atlético victory would lose this wager.

First-Half Result: Which Team Can Lead Before the Break?

No first-half winner is selected. Levante led Athletic 2–0 at the interval, and Atlético’s latest league trip to Espanyol was goalless at half-time.

Those games give different opening-period pictures. Neither supplies enough evidence to assume that the stronger full-time side will lead early against a home attack capable of a quick start.

Match Pick: Pass on the first-half result. The Atlético preference allows for a later breakthrough or a comeback, and both routes could lose an early away-lead selection even if the final winner prediction proves correct.

First-Half Goals: How Much Early Scoring the Records Support

No first-half goals line has sufficient support here. Levante scored twice before the break against Athletic, and Atlético reached the Espanyol interval without a goal.

Those isolated examples do not establish a dependable early-scoring pattern. Full-time totals describe the whole match and cannot tell us whether the chances will arrive before or after half-time.

Match Pick: Leave first-half goals alone. A wider opening-period record and an actual line are needed before choosing an over or under, rather than applying the full-match goals opinion to a shorter period automatically.

Half-Time/Full-Time: The Cost of Predicting the Match Sequence

No half-time/full-time combination is recommended. Atlético/Atlético requires Atlético to lead at half-time and win at full-time. Draw/Atlético requires a level score at the interval followed by an Atlético victory.

Both add a timing condition absent from the main selection. Atlético’s late winner at Espanyol shows how a successful final result can come without an early advantage.

Match Pick: Pass on this market. There is stronger evidence for Atlético over the full game than for a particular sequence, so adding an unsupported half-time requirement would make an already narrow prediction less reliable.

Correct Score: The Exact Finish Behind the Main Forecast

Levante 1–2 Atlético Madrid is the only correct-score selection. It gives the home attack a goal and the visitors a narrow winning margin.

An exact-score wager needs both teams’ goal totals to be correct. Another Atlético victory can reward a result bet and still lose this market, even when the general match assessment was sound.

Match Pick: Levante 1–2 Atlético Madrid is optional rather than a main bet. Keep any stake small within the existing budget and avoid adding several other scores simply to cover more possible outcomes.

Levante Anytime Scorer: Choosing the Best-Supported Home Candidate

Iván Romero is the central-forward candidate if he starts. He has three league goals, with ten shots on target from 20 attempts across nine appearances.

That involvement gives him a case beyond the latest match. Ratkov and Etta Eyong create competition for minutes, and Atlético’s defence should limit the supply of clear chances.

Match Pick: Iván Romero anytime scorer is conditional on a central starting role. A shorter expected appearance would weaken the selection, making Levante’s team-goals market a more suitable way to support the home attack.

Jonathan David Anytime Scorer: Starting Role and Expected Minutes

Jonathan David is the Atlético scorer candidate if selected centrally. His league record contains three goals and nine shots on target from 14 attempts in five appearances.

He started at Espanyol and recorded two accurate attempts. Álvarez and Sørloth give the coach other central choices, making his role and likely minutes important.

Match Pick: Jonathan David anytime scorer needs a starting place and a normal attacking workload. Being part of the stronger team is not enough on its own, particularly if he is named among the substitutes for this fixture.

Roger Brugué Shots on Target: Converting Attacking Involvement Into Attempts

Brugué to record one or more shots on target is the preferred low-line option. He has eight accurate attempts from 19 shots in eight league appearances.

His two goals against Athletic came from an attacking right-midfield role. A deeper assignment against Atlético could reduce his opportunities to move inside and shoot, even with a starting place.

Match Pick: Roger Brugué one or more shots on target is conditional on that advanced role. His season involvement supports considering the lowest line, not assuming several accurate attempts because he scored twice last time.

Álex Baena Goal or Assist: Contribution Beyond the Centre-Forward

Baena is Atlético’s goal-or-assist candidate, with five league goals and two assists from nine appearances. He contributes through chance creation and goals from supporting positions.

Four appearances came from the bench, including his decisive contribution at Espanyol. That production makes him interesting, and his expected minutes still matter for a player contribution bet.

Match Pick: Álex Baena to score or assist is conditional on a meaningful role. Assist rules also matter because a rebound, deflected pass or penalty won may not receive the same credit under every market’s terms.

Goalkeeper Saves: Which Shot Patterns Could Create Work?

Ryan is the likely home goalkeeper, with 31 league saves from nine starts. No specific saves total is recommended without an offered line and confirmed starter.

He made three stops against Athletic. Atlético’s shooting can create work, and accurate attempts can also become goals rather than saves. Off-target and blocked attempts do not increase the goalkeeper’s count.

Match Pick: Wait on Mathew Ryan saves. The required number must suit his likely workload; Atlético being favourites is not enough reason to choose an unspecified over or expect him to repeat his latest total.

Total Corners: Pressure, Wide Players and Defensive Clearances

No total-corners selection is recommended. Levante took three corners against Athletic and conceded nine, a distribution shaped by defending a lead against sustained pressure.

Grimaldo and Giuliano can give Atlético width, and crosses do not always produce corners. A different scoreline or attacking approach can change where possession takes place and how attacks finish.

Match Pick: Pass on corners without a wider home-and-away sample and an actual line. The twelve corners in Levante’s latest game are not enough evidence to expect the same total against different opponents.

Total Cards: Referee Tendencies and Current Discipline

No cards total is selected before the referee and line are known. A close match can involve few bookings, so the predicted score provides little guidance here.

Levante’s Athletic game included five yellow cards and an away dismissal. Those decisions belonged to that fixture. Total cards and booking-points markets also count incidents differently.

Match Pick: Pass on cards unless the referee’s record and current team discipline support the number offered. A recent red card is not a sound reason to predict another dismissal or several cautions in this match.

Responsible Gambling: Keep Levante Vs. Atlético Madrid Stakes Affordable

Bet only with money left after essential expenses, and set spending and time limits beforehand. Predictions remain uncertain, including selections with draw protection. There is no need to place a bet to enjoy the match.

• Keep money for bills, food, housing and savings separate.
• Set one budget for the match, not a fresh allowance for every market.
• Do not borrow, use credit or chase losses.
• Stop when the spending or time limit is reached.
• Follow local gambling laws and age restrictions.
• Use breaks, account limits or self-exclusion when control becomes difficult.

Levante Vs. Atlético Madrid: Let the Final Teams Shape the Decision

The final teams should determine whether Atlético draw no bet still makes sense. Look at the midfield, attacking roles and price without increasing the original budget. A weakened lineup or an unattractive return is a reason to leave the match alone, not to force a different wager.
