Real Madrid will aim to extend their flawless start to the La Liga campaign when they travel to face newly-promoted Levante at the Estadio Ciutat de Valencia on Tuesday evening. Xabi Alonso’s side are full of momentum after six straight competitive victories.
Meanwhile, Levante approach this contest with renewed belief, having picked up their first win of the season in emphatic fashion last weekend. The Granotes will hope to build on that result and pull off an upset against the current league leaders.

The home side, Levante returned to the top division after clinching the Segunda title but endured a rocky beginning, losing their opening three matches. Since then, they have shown improvement, drawing with Real Betis before dismantling Girona 4-0 in a confidence-boosting away win. Goals from Karl Etta Eyong, Carlos Alvarez, Ivan Romero, and Goduine Koyalipou highlighted their attacking intent.
Coach Julian Calero has no new injury concerns and is expected to field a full-strength squad. Etta Eyong and Romero, who each have three league goals, remain the main threats in the final third. Midfielder Jon Ander Olasagasti is also pushing for a recall after featuring off the bench in their last outing.

Xabi Alonso’s tenure at Real Madrid could not have started better, with Los Blancos winning all six of their matches across competitions. Their latest success came with a 2-0 victory over Espanyol, where Eder Militao and Kylian Mbappe found the net.
Defensively, Madrid have conceded no more than one goal in any match under Alonso, underscoring their resilience. However, as per the matchday squad, they will be without Trent Alexander-Arnold, who faces a lengthy spell out with a hamstring injury, alongside sidelined defenders Antonio Rudiger and Ferland Mendy.
On the positive side, Dean Huijsen is available again after suspension, while Arda Guler and Brahim Diaz are options for rotation. Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga could also see increased minutes as they continue their recovery from injury.
This match looks primed for goals. Real Madrid have enjoyed a perfect start to the season, scoring multiple goals in almost all their matches, including a 2-0 win over Espanyol where Kylian Mbappe and Eder Militao scored. Levante, meanwhile, have shown attacking intent under Julian Calero.
After three straight defeats, they drew with Real Betis and thrashed a depleted Girona 4-0, notching at least two goals in three of their last four. Given Real’s offensive firepower and Levante’s willingness to commit, over 3.5 goals at +105 seems reasonable.
Mbappe has been a consistent goal threat. He bagged the winner against Espanyol and has racked up multiple goals already this season across La Liga and the Champions League. His sharp finishing, movement in the box, and recent form make him the favourite to score at least once. Real Madrid’s dominance in attack and probable control of possession should give him good chances. For bettors, -175 is tight but justifiable given his reliability in front of goal.
Vinicius Jr. has emerged as a creative force for Madrid so far. In Real’s recent win vs Espanyol, although Mbappe scored, Vinicius played a key role in starting the move and was lively throughout. He has also contributed goals and assists in La Liga this season, with his involvement high in midfield-forward linkups and key passes. Given Levante’s defensive vulnerabilities and Real’s attacking depth, backing Vinícius to either score or set up a goal looks like a smart play at -165.
| Picks | Moneyline |
| Kylian Mbappe to score first | +250 |
| Vinicius Jr to score anytime | +100 |
| Brahim Diaz to assist anytime | +21 |
| Franco Mastantuono to either score or assist | -140 |
| Adrian de la Fuente to see a card | +270 |
| Unai Elgezabal to commit one foul or more | -280 |

Based on form, firepower and squad strength, Real Madrid are likely to win this one comfortably. Levante might grab a goal, perhaps capitalising on a counterattack or set piece, but Madrid should enforce control.
With Mbappé in good scoring form and Vinicius Jr. creating chances regularly, a 3-1 win seems a plausible outcome. Real will probably dominate possession, press high, and exploit Levante’s uneven defensive record.
The Levante vs Real Madrid La Liga clash is on September 23, 2025, at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia, Valencia, Spain.
Real Madrid are favorites to win with a moneyline at -300, to draw at +475 and for Levante to win at +700.
