Copa del Rey
 Levante | vs |  Atletico Madrid |
Preview
Last season, Levante failed to perform in La Liga, which led the team to the Segunda. From the first rounds, the club entered the struggle for a return to the elite championship.
For 23 rounds of the current championship, the Levante got ten wins and draws, which correspond to 40 points and third position in the standings.
The gap from the first place is only three points, while after a draw with Gijon (1-1), the club under the leadership of Javier Calleja defeated Granada (3-1). In the Cup, the team knocked out Andorra (2-1) and Getafe (3-2).
Atletico Madrid this season is clearly below expectations. In the La Liga tournament, the club has eight wins and four draws, which correspond to 28 points and fourth position in the standings.
Madrid have a quality selection of players, but there is no stability in the team’s game. Despite the problems in the championship, there is a great chance to at least partially rehabilitate.
Atlético opened the Copa del Rey tournament with a 2-0 victory over Almazan, followed by an easy win against Arenteiro (3-1).
