Predicted Result: Real Madrid 4 – 0 Levante
Match Preview: Blancos suffered a trophy drought last season. They haven’t tasted success in the Spanish top flight in the last couple of years. The Galacticos will be aiming their 34th La Liga title this season and thus they need a good start. They will try to secure the 3 points as well as a big margin victory. I’m expecting an attacking tactic from Zizou in this encounter. Their new signing Eden Hazard will be the key for them.
On the contrary, a draw will heavily please the Frogs. So they will certainly go with defensive tactics to hold their counterparts from gaining something big. Paco Lopez may place 5 defenders at the backline. They will probably opt a park the bus tactics until the deadlock is broken.
Firstly, I’m expecting a dominating performance from the Whites. Moreover, I expect the home side keeper to keep a clean sheet. Furthermore, I am guessing that Belgian sensation Eden Hazard will have his name on the scoreboard. Finally, my prediction is a 4-0 victory for the hosts.
