Real Madrid will hope to put their recent woes behind them when they host another struggling side, Levante, on Saturday at the Santiago Bernabeu for a chance to close the gap on the La Liga table.
With the departure of Xabi Alonso and their recent double losses, Los Blancos will want nothing short of a win in this fixture, while Levante will only hope for a miracle to get a point from this match.
Real Madrid vs Levante preview
Real Madrid enter this match in the middle of a mid-season crisis. Despite sitting second in La Liga with 45 points from 19 games, the mood in the capital is tense. The club recently parted ways with Xabi Alonso following a 3-2 Supercopa de España final loss to Barcelona.
Interim manager Alvaro Arbeloa started his tenure in disappointing fashion, losing 3-2 to Segunda División side Albacete in the Copa del Rey. Still, their league record at the Bernabéu remains strong, with Real winning their last three matches.
Levante, on the other hand, are on a three-game unbeaten streak even though it has done little to savage their current predicament. Luís Castro’s men sit 19th on the table with just 14 points and are in the relegation zone.
While heavily being the underdogs coming into this fixture, they will look to exploit Real Madrid’s defensive absences and the pressure weighing on the hosts.
