Real Madrid look for three points against Levante
Kick-off : 1:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid
Real Madrid played Valencia in their last La Liga encounter and dropped two points. They will look to improve on that performance.
This will be Levante’s first trip to the Santiago Bernabeu since 2015 when they were defeated 3-0 in their last season in the top flight.
Levante have enjoyed an excellent return to La Liga with a win and a draw from their opening two fixtures.
This will be their first away game of the season. It is probably the worst time to play Madrid because they are looking to come back to winning form after a disappointing result.
Asensio and Isco are in fine form at the moment and Real Madrid are looking dangerous even without Ronaldo. Levante will be in for a tough fight on Saturday.
Team news and possible line-ups
Jose Luis Morales will be out due to suspension. Roger Marti remains out with an injury. Other than that Levante has a fully fit squad to choose from.
Cristiano Ronaldo did well for Portugal during the international break, but will miss the next two Real Madrid fixtures due to suspension.
Raphael Varane returns from injury, while Dani Cabellos remains a doubt. Zidane will have to choose Bale and Marco Asensio as the latter have been performing quite well.
Levante XI : Raul, I. Lopez, Postigo, Chema, Tono, Lerma, Campana, Jason, Bardhi, Ivi, Alegria.
Real Madrid XI : Navas, Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo, Casemiro, Modric, Kroos, Isco, Asensio, Benzema.
Prediction
After a disappointing last result Real Madrid will be looking for a good result. I think they should win 2-0.
