The Matchday 28 clash in La Liga between Leganes and Real Betis will take place on March 16 at the Butarque Stadium. Leganes vs. Real Betis: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Leganes
The club from the Madrid suburb suffered a 1-2 away defeat to Celta in the last round. Notably, in the previous seven league matches, the team has secured just one victory (against Getafe, 1-0), drawn twice, and lost four times. Borja Jimenez's side is currently outside the relegation zone but only by a single point.
- At least one team failed to score in 6 of Leganes' last 8 La Liga matches.
- The club has won only once in the first half of their last 14 home league games (10 draws and 3 losses).
- Leganes has not scored more than one goal in 6 of their last 8 home La Liga fixtures.
Predicted lineup for Leganes (4-5-1)
Marko Dmitrovic – Matija Nastasic, Valentin Rosier, Javi Hernandez Carrera, Sergio Gonzalez – Juan Cruz, Ivan Neyu, Seydouba Cisse, Oscar Rodriguez, Renato Tapia – Diego Garcia.
Real Betis
The Seville side has cemented their sixth-place position in the league standings, reducing the gap to the Champions League spots to eight points. This came after a series of four consecutive La Liga victories. Notably, three of these matches were at home, where they defeated Real Sociedad (3-0), Real Madrid (2-1), and Las Palmas (1-0), while they managed a win against Getafe (2-1) away. Interestingly, Betis had not won four consecutive league matches since December 2021.
- At least two goals have been scored in 13 of Betis' last 16 La Liga games.
- Betis scored two or three goals in 5 of their last 6 league matches.
- The club opened the scoring in 6 of their last 7 La Liga games.
Predicted lineup for Real Betis (4-3-3)
Adrian Castillo – Youssouf Sabaly, Ricardo Rodriguez, Nathan, Diego Llorente – Isco, Joao Cardoso, Pablo Fornals – Jesus Rodriguez, Antony Mateus, Cucho Hernandez.
Midfielder Joao Cardoso will miss the game due to suspension.
Match Prediction: Leganes vs. Real Betis
The Seville side is in excellent form, having put together a winning streak of four matches, something they hadn't achieved in over three years in the league. However, the upcoming match won't be a walk in the park for them, and I believe the hosts have a chance at least to avoid defeat. Betis has a poor record in away games, with only four wins in their last 15 La Liga away matches (5 draws and 6 losses).
Leganes is near the bottom of the league table and has mediocre home results. Nevertheless, when they have lost at home in the league, it has been to teams competing for European spots. Notably, Borja Jimenez's team defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0 at home in January. Additionally, it's worth mentioning that Betis has never beaten Leganes at their stadium in La Liga this century – 1 draw and 3 losses.
My prediction – Leganes to win or draw
