Atletico Madrid vs Levante
Spain – La Liga
Date: Wednesday, 16 February 2022
Kick-off at 18:00 UK/ 19:00 CET
Venue: Wanda Metropolitano.
Defending champions Atletico Madrid are locked in a race for a top-four finish with arch-rivals Barcelona. The two teams are separated by not much in the league table, and as the season goes on, pressure would only increase for either squad.
Diego Simeone’s men have not had an easy campaign so far in 2021-22 – however, this upcoming encounter is supposed to be an easy one for them – and frankly, they deserve this.
The title-holders will be at home, and are taking on the dead-last placed Levante. By all means, this team is deemed as the absolute worst in the whole of the Spanish top flight, and it’s no wonder that they are the prime contenders to get relegated at the end of the campaign.
By the looks of things, expect a win for Atletico Madrid this Wednesday at their home.
Atleti registered a 4-3 win at home the last match-day, against Getafe. And it was a much-needed win for them after their loss against Barcelona.
Going on, they had won five of their former eight appearances at home, and they have lost just three times at home in the past 11-month period. Note that two of these losses had come in the CL.
On the other hand, Levante lost 2-4 at home the past game week, against Betis. They are also on a three-game losing streak, and they had lost seven of their past eight fixtures.
Moreover, they are on a four-game losing streak on the road, and they had let in a total of 16 goals in the process. Do also note that they had lost nine of their past ten away fixtures.
Considering these observations, expect a win for Atleti this Wednesday.
