On Wednesday night, Levante host Real Betis at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia, as the home side look to move away from the relegation zone in La Liga.
The home side are currently two points clear of the relegation zone, with five games remaining in the Spanish top-flight. A 2-2 home draw with Espanyol last time out in La Liga means that Levante have won just one of their last ten matches in the Spanish top-flight while failing to win in their last five league outings.
The result against Espanyol also means that Levante’s last five league outings have produced over 3.5 goals.
Poor home form has been a big part of Levante’s recent struggles in the Spanish top-flight, as the home side has failed to win in six matches on home soil. They have at least shown signs of improvement by drawing their last three home games, though.
A leaky defence has not helped Levante’s recent home record, as they have conceded at least twice in their last five matches on home soil in La Liga.
Real Betis head into this clash knowing that they have very little to play for in the Spanish top-flight, with a recent poor run of form making it difficult for the visitors to claim a European spot this season.
A 2-1 home defeat against Valencia last time out means that the team from Andalucia have won just one of their last six La Liga games, suffering four defeats in the process. Betis’ recent league matches have been high-scoring, though, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six games.
Betis have been poor on their travels of late in La Liga, losing five of their last eight away games in La Liga, while winning just once.
Forebet predicts that the visitors will add to the tension of the home side by recording a victory in a high scoring clash.
