- Levante are not going to have Roger Brugue, Kervin Arriaga, Unai Elgezabal and Ugo Raghouber in action. They are injured. Victor Garcia might also miss out due to fitness issues.
Player(s) to watch:
- Kylian Mbappe is an important aspect of the squad for Real Madrid. He wasn’t allowed much time on the field during the Super Cup final due to a lack of fitness. The Frenchman is now going to be back with full force in the attacking front for Los Blancos. In 18 LaLiga appearances this season, Mbappe has scored 18 goals and has four assists.
- Etta Eyong will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against the hosts. In 16 league matches of the ongoing campaign, Etta Eyong has scored six goals and has three assists. He will be keen to engrave his name on the scoresheet, which is surely going to put Los Blancos under pressure.
