Away Team
Valencia 0-1 Betis
Betis 1-0 Real Sociedad
Inter 1-0 Betis
Betis 2-2 Bournemouth
Arsenal 1-3 Betis
Betis may not have an overwhelmingly solid form but with wins over Valencia and Real Sociedad and not conceding in both games, they look up to something.
Head-to-Head
Betis 2-1 Levante
Levante 2-2 Betis
Levante 2-4 Betis
Betis 3-1 Levante
Betis 2-0 Levante
From the h2h, Betis have always had the upper hand but a clearer pattern other than a straight win would be the over 1.5 goals.
Key Statistics
Levante have collected only one point from their opening two league games, while Betis have won both.
Levante have also scored only once across those opening matches.
Betis have therefore entered the season with considerably greater momentum.
The main reason for avoiding the outright Betis win is the venue: this will be Levante's first home league game, which introduces additional uncertainty.
Team News
Betis are expected to continue with a 4-2-3-1, with Antony, Pablo Fornals and Rodrigo Riquelme supporting Juan Hernández.
Álvaro Vallés is expected to continue in goal, while Marc Roca and Facundo Bernal provide the central midfield base.
Levante are also expected to use a 4-2-3-1, with Mathew Ryan in goal and Aïssa Mandi providing experience at centre-back.
The main concern is the lack of attacking production after failing to score against Osasuna and conceding three to Espanyol.
Prediction Analysis
Betis' defensive structure might be a problem for Levante to crack.
Nevertheless, I think there should be at least 2 goals in this match. So I am going with over 1.5 goals.
