The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this week as Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid lock horns with Levante at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday.
Atletico Madrid vs Levante Preview
Levante are currently rooted to the bottom of the La Liga standings and have struggled to cope with the rigours of the Spanish top flight this season. The Valencia-based outfit suffered a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Real Betis last week and cannot afford a similar debacle in this fixture.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the league table at the moment and are fighting for a place in the UEFA Champions League. Los Colchoneros edged Getafe to a crucial 4-3 victory in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.
Atletico Madrid vs Levante Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Atletico Madrid have an impressive record against Levante and have won 16 out of 27 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Levante's six victories.

Atletico Madrid vs Levante Prediction
Atletico Madrid have largely flattered to deceive so far this season and will need to work hard to finish in the top four. Diego Simeone's charges showed plenty of spirit against Getafe and have a point to prove at the moment.
Levante have been shockingly poor this season and will need to play out of their skins to stand a chance in this match. Atletico Madrid are the better team at the moment and hold the upper hand this week.
