Currently sat at the summit of the La Liga table, Los Blancos are eager to widen the gap between themselves and second-placed Barcelona. The Merengues visit Valencia to face an improving Levante outfit, who made several astute signings just before the closure of the summer window. Incidentally, Levante have a reasonable recent record against Real Madrid, having beaten them in two of the last five meetings between the pair.

Levante's start to the new season...
Levante commenced the 2025/26 La Liga campaign with three consecutive defeats, while conceding two or more goals in each of their opening four fixtures. Despite keeping a clean sheet in their impressive 4-0 victory over Girona at the weekend, it's clear the Granotans still have some major defensive issues.
Mbappé's on fire
Kylian Mbappé was undoubtedly Real Madrid's best attacking player last term. He formed a formidable partnership with Brazilian teammate Vinícius Júnior, who both regularly demonstrated their lethal finishing capabilities. The Frenchman is currently enjoying a rich vein of form, scoring in each of his last five outings. Mbappé has failed to score in just one of Real Madrid's first five league fixtures this season, firing a blank in August's clash with Real Mallorca at the Bernabéu. He'll come up against one of the weakest defences in the Spanish top-flight on Tuesday evening, so it's likely the 26-year-old superstar will add to his ever-increasing goals tally.
Tip: Kylian Mbappé to score: 8/15 (bet365)
Explanation: This bet lands if Kylian Mbappé scores at any time during the match.
Expect both teams to score
Although their performance has been undermined by their defensive shortcomings, Levante possess plenty of attacking quality. Julián Calero's men have netted in all but one of their league appearances this season, while the deadline day acquisition of Cameroonian striker Etta Eyong has proved to be a masterstroke. Only Barcelona have scored more La Liga goals than Real Madrid this term.
Either side has netted in eight of their last eleven clashes, suggesting both Levante and Real Madrid will manage to find a way onto the scoresheet.
Tip: Both teams to score: 7/10 (bet365)
Explanation: This bet will land if both teams score at least one goal during the match.
Three goals or more total
There has been three goals or more in five of the last six (and 15 of the last 19) meetings between these opponents, so expect plenty of action in the final third on Tuesday night. As alluded to previously, Levante's defence have conceded an average of more than two goals per game, while Real Madrid boasts one of the league's most lethal forward lines.
Tip: Over 2.5 Goals: 1/2 (bet365)
Explanation: This bet will land if there are at least three goals scored during the match.
