Levante
- Levante are without a win in their last 2 games, losing 3-0 to RCD Espanyol in their most recent LaLiga 2026-2027 fixture.
- Luis Castro has been in at the helm since 20th December 2025 and his Levante side are a totally different proposition.
- Their 4-4-2 system is built to remain compact, absorb pressure and hit teams on the break or from set pieces.
Real Betis
- Real Betis are in better shape, winning 3 of their last 5 matches in all competitions (D1, L1).
- Manuel Pellegrini has been in charge of Betis since 1st August 2020 and his team remain patient, structured and possession-heavy in the main.
- Their 4-2-3-1 formation is all about controlling the ball and making the right passes to break the opposition down, and while that doesn't always generate the most goals, it's a formula that works for them.
Head-to-Head
Betis are unbeaten in 2 head-to-head games with Levante (W1, D1).
Key Players
Rodrigo Riquelme has bagged 1 goal in 1 LaLiga 2026/2027 game, while Pablo Fornals has chipped in with 2 in their last 5, which is a decent return considering Betis have scored just 5 times in that spell.
Betting Insights
- Real Betis are a touch of the favorites here at 2.42 against Levante's 2.7 ahead of Saturday's LaLiga 2026-2027 clash at Estadio Ciudad de Valencia, but that's not how we see this one going.
- The odds for the draw do look a little on the short side at 3.45, and we'll also pass on backing Betis to cover the goal handicap here because the visitors have been involved in some narrow games of late.
- Both teams to score looks live at 1.62, while Under 2.5 goals at 2.0 looks like a smart bet ahead of what could be a tense and tactical battle.
Prediction
so that's why we're going with the visitors to take all 3 points here.
