Athletico Madrid vs Levante

16/3- Athletico Madrid are currently placed on the 4^th position on the points table and they would be eager to get back to form as some disappointing performances in the recent few weeks has put them 6 points behind the third placed Villareal. This week however they have a good chance to score a full three points as they get prepared to take on Levante at home. Levante are currently at the bottom of the La liga table and their performance away from home can be described in one word- disastrous. They have only managed a single victory away from home and a tough opponent like Athletico Madrid would not allow them to get away. The last match between the two sides that was played earlier this season resulted in a 0-1 win for Athletico Madrid playing away from home. The head to head record for the past 15 years also works in favour of Athletico as they have managed to win 3 of the 5 matches played between the sides.

Athletico Madrid go into this match to regain their form and there would be no other way rather than having the home crowd inspire them to a huge team again a comparatively weak opponent. Also this is a great chance for them to cut down on the lead that Villareal have developed. The last match they played was against Real Zaragoza and they lost the away tie 2-1 and after that they would want to ensure that they at least do not lose points at home.

Levante on the other hand have just pride to play for and in the last few matches they have been able to come up with some good performances and they would try and settle for a draw and take home at least a point from the match and they might be able to do it if they actually can put in their best efforts.

Prediction: 1-0, Athletico Madrid win
