El Metropolitano Faces Threatened Fortress Status
The Atlético Madrid team, known for its impressive home performance at the Metropolitano Stadium, faces new challenges as it prepares to take on Levante. This match comes after a near-perfect home record this season.
El Metropolitano’s Fortress Status at Risk
Under the management of Diego Simeone, Atlético Madrid has showcased remarkable results in their eight home matches this season. They remain unbeaten, with Levante being a frequent adversary that complicates their efforts.
Home Game Performance
- Number of home games played: 8
- Total wins: 6
- Draws: 2 (notably against Elche in the opening league match)
- Goals scored: 23
- Goals conceded: 7
- Points earned at home: 16 out of a possible 18
Despite this strong record, Levante poses a unique challenge. Historically, they have a decent track record against Atlético in recent matches, proving to be a thorn in their side.
Recent Encounters with Levante
In the last four league matches between the teams, Levante has secured two victories and two draws, both wins occurring at the Metropolitano. This trend raises the stakes for Atlético as they aim to defend their fortress at home.
Levante’s Current Form
Levante, coached by a new manager, has struggled in their home matches but has found some success in away games. They are keen to capitalize on their favorable history against Atlético.
As Atlético prepares for this crucial encounter, both teams are aware of the implications. The outcome could significantly affect Atlético’s stronghold at the Metropolitano.
