The Matchday 4 La Liga clash between Levante and Betis will take place on September 14 at the Estadi Ciutat de València. Levante vs. Betis: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Levante
The Valencians, like Girona, have yet to earn a point after three rounds. Julian Calero's side showed an entertaining performance only in their home game against Barcelona, where they lost 2-3. However, they were weaker on the road against Alaves (1-2) and Elche (0-2).
- At least 3 goals have been scored in 6 of the club's last 7 league matches.
- Both teams scored in 9 of Levante's last 11 La Liga matches.
- The Valencians did not lose the second half in 7 of their last 9 home La Liga matches (4 wins and 3 draws).
Predicted lineup for Levante (5-3-2)
Matthew Ryan – Manu Sanchez, Jorge Cabello, Unai Elguezabal, Jeremy Toljan, Adrian de la Fuente – Brugui, Oriol Rey, Carlos Alvarez Rivera – Pablo Martinez, Ivan Romero.
Betis
Manuel Pellegrini's side hosted Athletic in the last round and lost to the Basques 1-2. This was the first defeat for the Sevillians in the current La Liga season. Before that, they defeated Alaves at home (1-0) and drew away with Elche and Celta (both 1-1). The team currently sits in 8th place, having played one more match.
- The club has only won 1 of its last 8 league matches (5 draws and 2 losses).
- Both teams scored in 14 of Betis's last 15 La Liga matches.
- The Sevillians have not won in 4 consecutive away La Liga matches (3 draws and 1 loss).
Predicted lineup for Betis (3-4-3)
Alvaro Valles – Natan, Junior Firpo, Marc Bartra – Rodrigo Riquelme, Pablo Fornals, Sergi Altimira, Giovani Lo Celso – Pablo Garcia, Angel Ortiz, Cucho Hernandez.
Match Prediction for Levante vs. Betis
As shown in Levante's first home game in La Liga, they are ready to compete on equal terms with any opponent at their venue. They even managed to score twice against the reigning Spanish champions. However, the club struggles defensively, having conceded 7 goals already.
I believe that both teams, in need of victories, will deliver a high-scoring match. Levante has scored at least two goals in their last six home La Liga matches. Both teams scored in Levante's last five home games in La Liga. Additionally, both teams scored in Betis's last 10 away league matches. It's also worth noting that both teams scored in 5 of their last 6 head-to-head La Liga encounters.
My prediction – Both teams to score – yes
