Consistency in La Liga has been Los Blancos' problem. Watch Levante vs Real Madrid live on October 5, 2013. Find out if Ancelotti’s men can catch up Barcelona and Atletico.

Real Madrid won on their last visit to Levante in La Liga.Preview: Levante’s ground another tough venue for Los Blancos

The most popular Real Madrid footballer right now must Angel Di Maria. His rabona assist to Cristiano Ronaldo’s second goal and his overall performance against Copenhagen has won him a lot of respect.

The Argentine is battling for regular playing time under Carlo Ancelotti but the presence of Gareth Bale means the fight will go on for long. Such competition could be healthy for the squad. The coach should be confident that Di Maria will put on a great show on the flanks anytime he gets called up. 

 

Marcelo is likely to start ahead of Fabio Coentrao who experienced a stomach upset on Thursday. Concerning team news, Ancelotti revealed in Friday’s pre-match press conference:

“We have many games and everyone is in good form. The ones who didn’t start against Copenhagen will play [against Levante] and there will be rotations to avoid problems. Not everyone who didn’t get a chance is going to play, but many will.” 

Real Madrid’s last away match produced a tight and highly-controversial result. They needed a questionable injury time penalty to knock down Elche 2-1. Fans will be hoping for a more dominant display from Los Blancos this Saturday but what should they really expect?

Levante have not been too poor at home to Real Madrid in recent seasons. They stunned Los Blancos 1-0 in September 2011 and only lost 2-1 the following year. The pressure is on the visitors to perform, since they are five points off the pace. The hosts, meanwhile, could rocket into the European zone with a surprise win. Levante are currently ninth with 10 points in La Liga. Real Madrid have six more points and occupy the third position above Villarreal.
