Atletico Madrid will be bidding to book their spot in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey when they travel to Valencia on Wednesday night to face Levante. Diego Simeone’s side will enter the contest off the back of a 1-1 draw with Almeria in La Liga on Sunday, while Levante recorded a 3-1 victory over Granada in the Segunda Division on Saturday.
Levante were relegated from La Liga last season due to their 19th-place finish, but they are currently in the promotion mix in the Segunda Division, picking up 40 points from their 23 matches to sit third in the table.
The Valencia-based outfit have only actually lost three times in the league this term, while they are three points behind leaders Eibar and will certainly fancy their chances of securing an automatic return to La Liga.
Levante were 3-1 winners over Granada in the league on Saturday, while they have had to overcome three teams to reach this stage of the Copa del Rey, beating Olot and FC Andorra before recording a 3-2 victory over La Liga side Getafe in the last round of the competition.

Levante vs Atlético Madrid Prediction
It’s been a disappointing 2022/23 in La Liga for Atletico Madrid, who have collected just 28 points from their opening 17 games, their lowest such tally in a full season under Diego Simeone. The Argentine may therefore see the Copa del Rey as a chance to quell some of the frustration hampering his side’s league form.
And it’s been a different story in Spain’s main knockout tournament for Atleti. The capital club have secured wins over Almazan, Arenteiro and most recently Oviedo to set up this last-16 tie which, incredibly, is their fourth successive Copa del Rey match on the round. The Metropolitano is yet to host a match this term.
Levante have endured managerial upheaval this season, with Javier Calleja now pulling the tactical leavers, but that has not prevented the club from performing well in the Copa del Rey. Triumphs over UE Olot, FC Andorra and Getafe have got them this far, and they will now be hoping for a first quarter-final placement since 1935.

Levante vs Atlético Madrid Team News
Levante will have to make a late check on the fitness of Sergio Postigo, who was substituted just before the hour against Granada in the league on Saturday.
Marcelo Saracchi is therefore on standby to feature in the middle of the defence, while Mohamed Bouldini is in contention to start following his goal at the weekend.
Head coach Calleja shuffled his pack for the last round against Getafe, but the likes of Ruben Vezo, Jorge de Frutos and Rober Pier should start in a strong side here.
Joan Femenias, though, is likely to be given the nod between the sticks over Dani Cardenas.
Atletico, meanwhile, will be boosted by the return of Stefan Savic from suspension, while Sergio Reguilon is available despite being sent off against Almeria in the league at the weekend.
