Levante team overview
Levante managed to win the La Liga 2 title in the 2024/25 season and then successfully survived in the Spanish top flight the following season. However, the Frogs weren't great, as they survived with 42 points - on level with Mallorca, which got relegated. Still, due to better H2H matches, they survived. This season, we believe they are up for another difficult season in which they will struggle to survive. The start to the season has been far from OK, as they won one point in the first two games and failed to score a single goal.
After a goalless draw in the last game with Osasuna, coach Luís Castro spoke to the media. He said they fought well and had good chances. The coach said they are improving and expects them to get even better in the upcoming games.

Real Betis team overview
Real Betis have been between 5th and 7th place in the past six seasons. Last season, they had another good season, finishing 5th, which means the Champions League main phase for the 2026/27 season. The Heliopolitans returned to the Champions League after over two decades, having last played in the CL in the 2005/06 season!
Over the offseason, they made good additions and opened the season well, with two wins over Real Sociedad and València. However, it will be interesting whether they can continue playing that well when the Champions League starts, and they are forced to play on multiple fronts.
For the upcoming game, the team should have no new injuries, but those who missed the previous matches should remain sidelined: Abde Ezzalzouli, Diego Conde, Giovani Lo Celso, Gonzalo Petit, and Aitor Ruibal.

Prediction
Levante opened the season with one point in the first two games and with zero goals scored. So, expecting a greater offensive performance against a team that kept a clean sheet in the first two games seems very unlikely. Moreover, their best goalscorer from last season, Carlos Espi, left the club, and it will be challenging to replace his offensive contribution, especially at the start of the season.
Real Betis went under 2.5 goals in the first two games, winning both matches 1:0 against València and Real Betis. At this moment, they and Barcelona are the only two teams with clean sheets in the first two games.
Considering all the above, an under 2.5 goals bet seems like the best possible bet for this La Liga tie.
3 Reasons why we should see fewer than three goals
- Levante failed to score in the first two games
- Real Betis kept a clean sheet in both La Liga games this season
- Real Betis went under 2.5 goals in both games this season
Main prediction Levante - Real Betis
Under 2.5 goals
