Recently crowned champions Real Madrid entertain Levante at the Santiago Bernabéu in La Liga action on Thursday.
The hosts suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of local rivals Atletico Madrid in their previous outing. Carlo Ancelotti rested the club's key players in that game, which contributed to their first loss in the league since March.
Levante need all nine points from their remaining three games this season to have any hopes of retaining their top-flight status. They defeated Real Sociedad 2-1 in their previous outing as they reduced the gap between them and 18th-placed Mallorca to three points.
Real Madrid vs Levante Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Real Madrid vs Levante Prediction
Real Madrid will be looking to bounce back from their 1-0 loss last time around. They can afford to rotate the squad for their remaining league fixtures as they have already secured the title and there's nothing much to play for domestically. Keeping players fit for the Champions League final should take precedence here.
Levante have scored in their last six away games in the competition and they should be able to find the back of the net here. Nonetheless, the hosts have enough quality in their ranks to pull through for a win.
Prediction: Real Madrid 3-1 Levante
