- Levante have lost their last 2 games, most recently going down 3-0 at RCD Espanyol in LaLiga.
- Real Betis have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last 5 matches in all competitions.
- Real Betis beat Levante 2-1 when these two sides met in LaLiga 3 months ago.
Betting angles abound when these similar sides face off
Real Betis are 5th in the LaLiga 2026-2027 table with 3 points from a possible 3 after their perfect start continued with a 1-0 win over Real Sociedad, bouncing back from a 1-0 away loss to Inter. Levante sit 20th with 0 points from 1 match played after they began their campaign in disappointing fashion with a 3-0 away defeat to RCD Espanyol.
Manuel Pellegrini has been in charge of Real Betis since 1 August 2020 and he has built a team that is patient, structured and possession-heavy.
His team will stick to their 4-2-3-1, all about controlled possession, full-back width, and patient line-breaking combinations on Saturday. Levante, meanwhile, are led by Luis Castro, their latest leader since 20 December 2025.
Betis can edge a close encounter
Castro's side will usually set up in a 4-4-2 shape, looking to stay compact, absorb pressure and hit on the break, either from a transition or a set piece. Betis are slight favourites at 2.42, while Levante are 2.7 and the draw is 3.45.
We can see why Betis are ahead, but the odds suggest that this should be much closer than they are favouring and we think it will be a very scrappy game. Levante have won 2 and lost 1 of their 3 home games this term across all competitions, but they are on a 2-game losing streak and they didn't win their most recent home game against Real Betis.
In terms of a correct score, Betis are unbeaten in their last 2 head-to-heads against Levante with 1 win and 1 draw, so the visitors have the momentum coming into this. In terms of form, Levante have won 2 and lost 3 of their last 5 in all competitions, while Betis have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1.
Both teams to score looks live at 1.62, but we're going for Under 2.5 goals in this one at 2.0 as we expect it to be a tight, tactical battle.
Pablo Fornals has scored 2 of Betis' 5 goals in their last 5 and he is the best bet to get on the scoresheet this weekend. Juan Hernandez has 1 assist in 1 game in LaLiga 2026-2027 and he can provide the magic to get Betis the win.
Rodrigo Riquelme has 1 goal in 1 LaLiga 2026/2027 match and he will spearhead a Betis attack that looks much sharper in the final third this season.
