Real Madrid struggled a bit against Celta Vigo in their last match and the 2-2 draw from the game saw their leadership of La Liga standings cut. They will be hoping for better times when they travel to Levante on Match Day 25. Levante, who lost to Villarreal, go to this game placed 13th with 29 points while Real Madrid top the table with 53 points. Real Madrid fell behind against relegation threatened Celta Vigo but took a second half lead before being pegged back late in the game. In the end, they have just a one-goal cushion ahead of Barcelona as they head to this game. The Celta Vigo draw, coming after the calamitous Copa del Rey showing against Real Sociedad has a lot of questions about Real, who have now conceded seven goals in the last three matches. They have however scored nine goals in the three matches, and their defensive deficiencies are well covered in attack. They have scored two goals or more in four of their last five matches and are unbeaten in their last 15 La Liga matches. They have scored 11 goals in their last five La Liga matches. They will be happy to be on the road for this clash, having registered six straight away wins. They have been more comfortable away than home in recent times and in their last six away matches, they have scored three or more goals in five. They are unbeaten in 12 away matches, with 10 wins therein.

Levante, the hosts in this game will be wary of the form Real carry to this clash. The home team has lost five of the last six matches. With just two clean sheets in their last 15 matches, facing a free scoring Real Madrid side is the last thing the hosts would have wished for at this point in time. In their last five matches, they have played just one at home, and won 2-0 over Leganes and while this will be a tougher challenge, Levante will welcome the chance to play in front of their home fans, having won three of their last five home matches. They have failed to score in just one of the five home matches and have scored two or more goals in the remaining four matches. They however have just one clean sheet. Among the top 13 teams, Levante have conceded the second most goals (36) and facing the side with the second most goals in the season in La Liga and also the best defence doesn’t promise a very good ending for the hosts. In each of the last six meetings between these two sides, each team has scored and six of the last seven meetings have seen over 2.5 goals scored.
