Fresh from thumping Alaves 4-1 last week, Madrid are in fine fettle. They're unbeaten in their last 19 games in La Liga, the league's best current unbeaten run, and Carlo Ancelotti has slotted back into life as Madrid boss quickly. They'll be confident of a victory here to keep pace with their cross-city rivals Atletico Madrid early on.
Levante are off the mark this season after drawing 1-1 with Cadiz in their opening game, but they're in a bit of a funk. Paco Lopez's team have failed to win in nine league games now harking back to the end of last season and will be keen to get back to winning ways.
