Real Madrid continue the defence of their La Liga crown when they travel to Levante on Sunday. Los Blancos have had an unbeaten start to this campaign, bouncing back from an underwhelming opening goalless draw by winning the following two matches. It leaves them third in the table, tied on points with the two teams above them. Levante's start hasn't been as strong, the Frogs losing two matches either side of a win. It leaves them 13th in the table. All three of those games were on the road, so they will be relieved to kick the ball on home turf this weekend. A more comfortable side in their own surroundings, Levante are unbeaten in ten of their last 14 home matches in La Liga. Real Madrid have had mixed fortunes when playing at the Estadio de la Ceramica in recent seasons. They have failed to win two of their last three games there, including a 1-0 loss last season. Despite their unbeaten run, Madrid have yet to convince this season, their two wins achieved with one-goal margins.

Madrid are unbeaten away from home in seven La Liga matches, five of those games ending in victory. All five were by a margin of one goal. The champions have not won by two clear goals in their last nine away matches. What this highlights to us is that Madrid struggle to bury teams in the manner that they used to. Three of their last six away games have featured fewer than two goals. Eight of Levante's last ten home matches featured two goals or fewer. We expect a tight contest. Back under 2.5 goals.
