In a crucial matchup in the Liga F, Atlético de Madrid Femenino faces off against Levante UD at the Campo Municipal El Terrer in Buñol on Sunday, April 27, 2025. This match is pivotal for both teams, with Atlético aiming to solidify their Champions League aspirations while Levante fights for survival in the league.
As the third-placed team in the Liga F standings, Atlético enters the match with 51 points, holding a narrow three-point lead over the fourth-placed Athletic Club. With only four matches left in the season, every point is vital for the colchoneras, especially as they prepare for a subsequent clash against Athletic next week.
On the other hand, Levante, currently sitting in 12th place with 26 points, is in a desperate battle to avoid relegation. They find themselves just four points above the drop zone, currently occupied by Real Betis. The home side arrives at this match buoyed by two consecutive victories, having recently defeated Deportivo Abanca and Athletic, which has provided them with a much-needed boost in confidence.
One of the key players for Atlético is Ainhoa Moraza, who has been a stalwart in defense this season, accumulating 2,577 minutes across 30 matches, 29 of which were as a starter. Moraza's contract is set to expire on June 30, 2025, and speculation suggests she might be heading to Real Sociedad next season. Her experience and leadership will be crucial as Atlético looks to secure a vital away win.
Atlético's coach, Víctor Martín, may also welcome back Luany, who has recovered from a head injury sustained during training last week. Her return could add firepower to an already potent Atlético attack, which has scored 41 goals this season while conceding just 22.
In their previous encounter this season, Atlético defeated Levante decisively with a 3-0 scoreline, featuring a double from Rosa Otermín and a goal from Jensen. However, this match promises to be more challenging given Levante's recent form and determination to escape the relegation battle.
Levante’s lineup for the match is expected to include Tarazona in goal, supported by a defense of Alharilla, Molina, Mérida, and Estela. The midfield will feature Lahmari, Eva Alonso, and Paula F., while Ana Franco and Chacón are expected to spearhead the attack. This formation has shown resilience in recent matches, and they will need to be at their best to contain Atlético’s offensive threats.
For Atlético, the expected starters include Lola Gallardo in goal, with Moraza, Lauren Leal, Lloris, and Medina forming the backline. The midfield will be bolstered by Fiamma, Gaby García, and Tatiana, while Ajibade, Gio, and Luany lead the charge up front.
The match kicks off at 12:00 PM local time and will be broadcast live on DAZN, Movistar+ Lite, and other platforms. Fans can expect a thrilling encounter as both teams battle for their respective goals—Champions League qualification for Atlético and survival for Levante.
As the match unfolds, every moment will be crucial. With both teams having much to play for, the atmosphere at the stadium is sure to be electric. Will Atlético maintain their grip on a Champions League spot, or can Levante pull off an upset to bolster their fight against relegation? Only time will tell as the action kicks off in Buñol.
