Levante host Real Madrid in round 2 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, August 22nd at Estadi Ciutat de València (Valencia)
Levante have returned to the top division, and last season was the fifth in LaLiga. The ending of the previous championship was a failure. The team has not won a single match in the last eight rounds. As a result, the Frogs dropped to the final 14th place. Despite this, the management left the Spanish specialist Paco Lopez at the helm. Levante started the 2021/2022 season with a productive draw against Cadiz. The Frogs were winning for a long time but failed to keep the victory, conceding a goal in added time (1-1). The score on the scoreboard was logical, if you believe the figures xG (0.99 vs 0.92).

Real Madrid did not win a single trophy in the previous season. As a result, Perez said goodbye to Zidane. The place of the Frenchman was taken by the experienced coach Carlo Ancelotti, who had previously worked in Madrid. The club lost two key players in the summer (central defenders Ramos and Varane). Among the newcomers, there is only one Alaba. And Whites didn’t work actively in the transfer market. The start of the 2021/22 season turned out to be great. Galacticos hammered Alaves away (1-4). The players turned the full advantage into a landslide victory, and Karim Benzema scored a brace. Thus, the Madrid team showed their ambitions to regain the champion’s title.
Levante have always created problems for Real Madrid lately. The Frogs are a very inconvenient opponent for the Whites. In the last eight head-to-head confrontations, Galacticos won only three times. In this segment, the teams exchanged goals in six games. Now the metropolitan team has lost Ramos and Varane. The defense made mistakes before, but now the situation is even worse. Alaba, Nacho, Militao, and Vasquez (who is being lowered to the position of full-back) will not be able to bring reliability to the defensive line. In the first round, both teams scored and conceded. It will be the second away match in a row for Real Madrid. Fatigue must take its toll on the players. Considering all of the above, we will venture to bet on an exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
