The hosts looking to get back to winning ways
Real Madrid, having already lifted the LaLiga Santander title, went up against their local rivals Atletico Madrid last weekend. With wholesale changes being made by Ancelotti following their Champions League semifinal triumph against Manchester City just four days prior, they weren’t at full strength so it didn’t come as a surprise that they went down to a Yannick Carrasco penalty. Cadiz and Real Betis are set to come before they lock horns with Liverpool in the Champions League final so Ancelotti would surely be keen on keeping fitness levels, as well as morale, high as Los Blancos eye the domestic and continental double.
Relegation-threatened head into this game with wind on their sails having managed to pick up a big win at the Anoeta last time out. Jorge Miramon’s opener was cancelled out by a David Silva strike and it wasn’t until the 90th minute that the side from Valencia made sure of all three points as Gonzalo Melero converted a crucial spot-kick. Alessio Lisci and his troops, despite the three points, still find themselves deeply rooted in the relegation zone as 17th placed Cadiz are six points clear. As such, they would need a return of nine from a possible nine in the final three games for them to stand a chance which, given the circumstances, doesn’t guarantee anything and for a side that has won just six league games up until now whilst conceding a whooping 67 goals, this would be quite the escape.

Real Madrid vs Levante Prediction: 3-1
Real Madrid has the best home record in the Spanish division and although we’re expecting Levante to give their all this Thursday given that they’re fighting for survival, the hosts should do just about enough to get back to winning ways.
