Although the stage will not be the City of Valencia but the Camilo Cano de La Nucía stadium, in Alicante, each visit to Levante causes an immediate special alert mechanism at Atlético de Madrid by Diego Simeone, in the face of adverse territory, where he has only won in one of his seven displacements in the League, to defend his reconquered third position against an already almost saved rival.

Except once, with the resounding 0-5 of November 27, 2017, frustration, even disappointment, has been the most common adjective for the rojiblanco team every time they have come to that opponent’s house, which has tied them in three occasions and has defeated him in three others, with special emphasis on 2013-14, on the penultimate round, with Atlético with the League in dispute, or in 2015-16, when he fell there on the penultimate appointment with the League also at stake .

Only Barcelona beats Levante as the most damaging place for Atlético de Simeone in his eight and a half seasons as head of the team. At the Camp Nou he has never won in 12 visits. Levante has only beaten it once. There are no more problematic terrains for the rojiblanco team since the Argentine coach directs it. But on the other bench, Paco López, his Barça counterpart, has never beaten Atlético in their four matches.

Atlético is warned not only for that, but also for the good moment of Levante, undefeated like him in the resumption of the championship. He has already frustrated Valencia (1-1), Sevilla (1-1) and Espanyol (1-3) to get 38 points. They are twelve ahead of the relegation zone, with which they are practically saved and with eight days to go they could even aspire, with a spectacular end to the season, to Europa League positions.

The Champions League is Atlético’s goal – the classification now in the League and the title later when the European competition resumes. The first is routed game by game. Before the break it was sixth. Three days later he is third, because he responded to his initial draw with Athletic Club (1-1) with a forceful 0-5 in Pamplona against Osasuna and with a very hurried victory at home on Saturday against Valladolid (1-0).

His return to the podium – nine days later – now implies his defense. In that is Atlético, who has increased his income over the fifth place, Getafe, to four points, who has linked two consecutive victories for the first time since last January and who has also done so, with the dosage of efforts of his footballers: in three duels 19 different players have played (all except Vitolo, Saponjic, Adam and the injured Sime Vrsaljko and Felipe Monteiro) in the starting eleven, which on Tuesday will recover a very classic aspect in their fourth meeting in just ten days .

Because undisputed footballers will return to him today in the lineup and who rested from the beginning or the entire match last Saturday, such as center-back Stefan Savic, left-back Renan Lodi and midfielders Saul Ñíguez and Koke Resurrección. Also striker Diego Costa and perhaps Ángel Correa on the right wing.

It is expected in a team in which Jan Oblak, Kieran Trippier, José María Giménez, Joao Félix and Thomas Partey will repeat and from which, among others, Héctor Herrera or Álvaro Morata, predictably, would emerge.

That is the probable lineup of Atlético, who chains ten games unbeaten between all competitions, with six wins and four draws, and who claimed a week ago as a visitor, with 0-5 against Osasuna; a marker that, in any case, does not hide the problems of the entire course away from the Wanda Metropolitano. For example, he has only won in two of his last 12 away games in LaLiga Santander.

Atlético de Madrid vs. Lift | Possible alignments:

Atlético de Madrid: Oblak; Trippier, Savic, Giménez, Lodi; Correa or Llorente, Thomas, Saúl, Koke; Joao Félix and Diego Costa.

Levante: Aitor, Miramón, Vezo, Bruno or Postigo, Clerc, Campaña, Vukcevic or Radoja, Rochina, Bardhi, Roger and Mayoral.
