Real Madrid will be bidding to bounce back from a shocking result in the Copa del Rey when they continue their La Liga campaign against Levante on Saturday.
Alvaro Arbeloa's first game in charge of Los Blancos ended in a 3-2 loss to Albacete in the last-16 stage of the cup competition on Wednesday night.
Real Madrid also lost to Barcelona in the final of the Spanish Super Cup last weekend, so the capital giants will enter this match off the back of successive defeats.
Los Blancos are currently second in the La Liga table, four points behind leaders Barcelona, who are in excellent form at a vital stage of the campaign.
Promoted Levante, meanwhile, have found it difficult during the 2025-26 campaign, with the Frogs currently sitting down in 19th spot in the division.
Here, Sports Mole looks at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between Real Madrid and Levante ahead of this weekend's contest.

Draws: 4
Real Madrid wins: 27
As one of the giants of Spanish football, Real Madrid have dominated the head-to-head record against Levante, recording 27 wins, four draws and six defeats in 37 competitive meetings.
Los Blancos have made full use of home advantage to win 14 of their 18 previous home meetings with Levante (D1, L3), including a dominant 6-0 victory in their most recent clash at the Santiago Bernabeu in May 2022.
On that occasion, Vinicius Junior netted a hat-trick alongside goals from Ferland Mendy, Karim Benzema and Rodrygo.
While Levante have often struggled at the Santiago Bernabeu, they have pulled off victories in two of their last four visits to the iconic stadium, claiming 2-1 victories in October 2018 and January 2021.
Meanwhile, the Granotes have won three, drawn three and lost 13 of their previous 19 home games against Real Madrid in all competitions.
In fact, they have won just one of their last 10 home encounters against Los Blancos, losing 4-1 in the most recent meeting between the two sides at the Estadio Ciutat de Valencia in September 2025.
Vinicius Junior starred in the first half of that match, scoring once and providing an assist as Real took a 2-0 lead into the interval, whle Kylian Mbappe stole the show in the second half with a brace.
Levante led 2-1 and 3-2 in the home clash in August 2021, but a late Vinicius strike ensured that a thrilling contest finished in a 3-3 draw.
Having scored a total of seven times against Levante, Vinicius is the joint third-highest goalscorer in this fixture, with his goal in September 2025 tying him level with Ruud van Nistelrooy in third spot.
