Real Madrid are confident thanks to their victory over Espanyol against all odds last week. The Whites will be looking to keep their excellent home run, but they will have to defeat a Levante side that' are currently on a good run.
Mourinho has a chance to retain the nine year record if the team if the team draws or wins the match.
Iker Casillas is suspended for the game, but the coach confirmed Ramos, Carvalho, Albiol, Marcelo and Cristiano Ronaldo will make the starting lineup. The Madridistas also look to keep up the good work in February having won all their games so far since the start of the month.
Levante previously played at the Bernabeu in the first leg of the Copa del Rey Last 16 and lost 8-0, but their three consecutive victories (one against Villarreal) will surely motivate them to try to win at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium this time around.
They have not conceded a goal in their last three fixtures and are now out of the relegation zone, with a 2-point lead over Osasuna.
Javi Venta is suspended for the match and the injured Pallardo, Sergio, Larrea, Robusta and Rafa Jorda will not travel to Madrid. On the other hand, team top scorer Felipe Caicedo, who is in top form and having an excellent run, will play.
The match kicks off at 20:00hrs on Saturday in the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
