La Liga: Top-drawer vs below par, at least that's what the table says. Real Betis - Levante. Home victory or a shock result?
- Real Betis have the most scored goals in the first half (13) in La Liga
- Levante have the most conceded goals (25) in La Liga
These are hectic days for the hosts, as they had a game only three days ago in the Europa League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Ferencvaros, was also a home game here at Estadio Benito Villamarín. The away team is better rested.
Real Betis form and stats
When playing at home in the La Liga, Real Betis have managed 3 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 7 games.
A nice win for Betis last time playing, versus Ferencvaros. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with Sergio Canales and Cristian Tello scoring for the victors. Sergio Canales (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.35/10. Canales scored one goal, hit five key passes and had 73 successful passes (of 86 total).
A strong away win before that one, visiting Elche and winning 3-0.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Betis's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won four matches, drawn zero and lost one.
Betis are traveling soon after this match as the Copa Del Rey match at CFI Alicante awaits in three days.
Real Betis have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estadio Benito Villamarín with 12 goals in 7 league matches. Betis have conceded 9 in these home matches.
Levante form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Levante so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-5 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Levante, who have now gone 14 games without a victory. The Cadiz game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
Levante's last game was the home draw against Athletic Club (0-0). Carlos Clerc was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 8.04. The defender Clerc hit two key passes and won 12 of 19 duels.
A 1-2 defeat away at Deportivo Alaves before that.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Levante playing away, we found four games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and three home wins.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Levante manager F. Pereira Mejía as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Huracan Melilla.
The attacking power of Levante when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Levante have conceded 14 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: six - zero - four (Real Betis wins - draws - Levante wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.Top Goalscorers
