Levante – Real Madrid SOCCER PICKS
After five wins in a row in La Liga, the crisis of Real Madrid in national football seemed to be over for now. Gradually, the Merengues soil made good on the competition and knocked once again in terms of fight for the championship. Until the 13 games in series winless Girona last Sunday guest in the venerable Santiago de Bernabéu and duped the home side in a 2-1 away win. Even the last fan of the Blancos should therefore have lost hope that this summer is the 34th Spanish championship to celebrate. The more exciting is the question of how the Galactics will present themselves in Valencia at Levante UD.
In Levante against Real Madrid beat the odds of bookmakers very clearly in the direction of the guests. It should not be excluded that the white ballet has already goofed in the current season four times away from home in La Liga, and vice versa only six of the previous twelve Away Matches could translate into a threesome. Conversely, the weak home record granotas plays for Levante against Real Madrid for the forecast but a role (only four wins from eleven games at home in Estadio Ciudad de Valencia). Overall, it would still be a valid matter to follow the tip to the underdog at Levante against Real Madrid. Why we still decide against it, we explain to you in the betting recommendation at the end of the post.
Levante:
The interim conclusion after 24 out of 38 matchdays may turn out quite positive in the camp of Levante UD. In the second year after the direct resurgence from La Liga B to the 2017/18 season, the Granotas at least have not much to do with the descent. On the contrary: Twelfth in the current table, the gap to a Europa League starting position is less than the advantage over a direct relegation zone (seven points). That the arrest of defender Tono Garcia has also brought no sustained restlessness in the team, proves also the recent 4-1 away win at Celta Vigo. The center-back of the Blue-Red stands as a member of a criminal organization, including for extortion in court and was immediately suspended after his detention.
Nevertheless, it must be noted that the team of Paco López does not go with the very best values in this home game against the Spanish record champions. Only four of the eleven home games in La Liga could win the Valencia team so far (three draws, four defeats) and had to face it at home in the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia already 21 goals. Only promoted Rayo Vallecano showed in their own stadium so far more hospitable with already 27 goals, but has also played two home games more than Levante. In addition, the Granotas have always allowed very high defeats against the top teams in the league: 0: 5 at Sevilla, 0: 3 at Barcelona in the Cup, 0: 5 against Barcelona at home in the league, 2: 6 at home against Sevilla FC or even a 0: 4 at Betis Sevilla. Although this is also the surprising 2-1 away win against the Blancos from the first round, nevertheless plays in Levante against Real Madrid in the forecast with the fact that the small club from the east coast of Spain is currently doing particularly difficult against well-known opponents.
Real Madrid :
Actually, everything was long ago peace, joy, pancakes in the Spanish capital – five league victories in series, best team in the second half. In addition, in the Copa del Rey won at home away to a 1-1 draw at Barcelona and thus created an optimal starting position for the first-ever entry into the cup final since 2014. And in the Champions League, which has been won three times in a row, Real Madrid are almost as good in the quarter-finals as the 2-1 win at Ajax Amsterdam, putting them back in the top eight teams in Europe. After the 1: 2 home defeat against Girona FC – just the worst team in the second half of the season, which had not won before in 13 games in series – seems the talk of the crisis but again to return vigorously, especially since captain Sergio Ramos in Levante a barrier after serving against Girona with a yellow-red finish.
In the championship, it is thus again nine points behind in first place and also city rivals Atlético Madrid has overtaken the Merengues again. All the soil, which the Madrilenians had made up in laborious work in the last weeks, is over. The more difficult it is now for Santiago Solari to motivate his men just for this momentless meaningless away game at Levante UD. The threesome would be important in many ways. Firstly, Sevilla play against Barcelona the day before and bring with them the potential to lose one point to the Blaugrana. And secondly, the Blancos are also playing against their big long-term rivals on Wednesday in the Copa del Rey. It would not be a good signal to go to the Clásico with a weak result on the east coast. All the more a bissiges real is to be expected, which sends with appropriate result also a clear sign in the direction of Blaugrana. In Levante against Real Madrid Tip 2 is thus a logical consequence of the recent setback.
