In-form Atlético Madrid head to Valencia to keep pace at the top, but Levante rarely lose at home and keep scoring there.
Fifteenth-placed Levante, on 10 points, welcome second-placed Atlético Madrid, who have 25 and sit two behind leaders Barcelona. The hosts need points to stay clear of trouble; the visitors want to keep the pressure on the top.
Atlético have won eight of their last ten league games and conceded only 8 goals in ten matches. Levante have just one win in their last five, but home is a different story: they have scored at least twice in seven straight home league games and lost only one of their last 11 there.
Koke misses out for Atlético with a muscle injury. The visitors line up 4-4-2 with Jonathan David and Julián Alvarez up front, while Levante go 4-3-3 with Iván Romero leading the line.
The market makes Atlético clear favourites at around 64% and expects goals. Levante's open style should create chances, but leaving gaps against this attack carries real risk.
