Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Real Madrid will be looking to build on a 4-1 win over Deportivo Alaves when they host Levante at their Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Matchday 21. Los Blancos are eager to melt Atletico Madrid’s advantage in the La Liga standings, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at los Levantinos. Sergio Ramos returned to training, but Saturday’s game comes too early for the captain.
Since Nacho has been tested positive for coronavirus, Eder Militao is likely to keep his place in the starting XI, alongside Raphael Varane. Levante, on the other hand, sit in the middle of the table ahead of the trip to the Spanish capital. Paco Lopez’s troops have recorded no more than one win on the road this season, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Real Madrid’s party at Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano.
Highlighted Player (Luka Modric):
Luka Modric is regarded as one of the best central midfielders in world football. The Croatian ace is a product of Dinamo Zagreb’s youth school and it has to be noted that he played 94 league games for the Modri between 2003 and 2008. In 2008 he signed a six-year deal with Tottenham Hotspur for a fee of £16.5 million.
Luka made his Tottenham debut on 16 August, 2008 in a 2-1 loss to Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium. The Croatian star scored only 13 goals in 127 league appearances for the Spurs, but he is well known for his brilliant passing. In 2012 he signed for Real Madrid for a fee of £30 million and he made his debut against Barcelona in the 2012 Spanish Super Cup, return leg.
Modric quickly established himself as a first-team regular and, no doubt, he helped the capital club win two Champions League trophies (2013/2014, 2015/2016). You should bear in mind that he was named Croatian Footballer of the Year in 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2014.
