Real Madrid suffered a devastating loss in the Copa del Rey last week, when they fell by 2-1 at home against a much lesser Leganes side. They are really running out of competitions to play for, with the Champions League being the only realistic target now. They did bounce back from that tough loss with a dominant performance against Valencia, and they will now be hosted by Levante on Saturday. Levante have been really awful over the past couple of months, as they have only recorded a single win in that span.

Levante (3-8-10) are coming into this match after a really hard-fought draw on the road against Deportino la Coruna. Their opponents were much better in the first half, where they took the lead at the 19th minute, and doubled that at the 45th right before the first half was over. However, they were left with 10 men in that span. Levante were really great in the second half, and eventually got what they deserved, as they scored two goals in the 80th and 84th minute with Ivi, and left with a 2-2 draw. They have been struggling really hard over the past couple of months, as they have won just one of their last twelve matches in all competitions (1-6-5), a 2-1 road win against Espanyol in the Copa del Rey. They are now sitting at the 16th spot of the La Liga with 19 points, just two points ahead of the relegation zone. They have been really mediocre at home so far (2-5-4), where they haven’t won a single match since September 21st.
On the other hand, Real Madrid (11-4-5) managed to lick their wounds with a dominant 4-1 road win against Valencia over the weekend. They actually needed some help from some controversial calls by the referee of that match, who awarded a couple of penalty kicks to Ream Madrid, and didn’t give any to their opponents, even though they deserved it. Valencia were actually really threatening in that match, but they only managed to score once in the 58th minute, before Real Madrid scored two more goals in the final 10 minutes of the match for the final 4-1. Prior to that, Real Madrid had suffered a devastating 2-1 loss at home against Leganes in the Copa del Rey, that left them eliminated at the semi-finals of the competition. Real Madrid are having a really bad season by their own standards, as they are now sitting at the 4th spot of the La Liga with 38 points, barely clinging to the top-4 spots that lead to the Champions League next season. They have little to no chances for a title, as they are 19 points behind Barcelona.
