It is a short turnaround for both Real Betis and Levante as the two Spanish clubs clash in a must-win match on Tuesday.
Real Betis are 15th in the table with just five points from 15 possible. Manager Rubi has got the white and green playing decent football currently. They have claimed all five points in their last three matches following two losses to kick off the season.
Levante sit five places ahead of Real Betis going into the midweek match. The Frogs have taken seven points from 15 available this term. They are winless in their last two matches and most recently drew nil-nil with Eibar.
Real Betis have won five of the last seven matches against Levante. However, their two losses came last season. Levante won both fixtures home and away by a combined score of 7-0. Both matches saw the Frogs score over 2.5 goals against Real Betis.
The white and green have collected four points from nine at the Benito Villamarin Stadium. Real Betis have tallied four goals while conceding four goals at home this term. They have not been shut out at the Benito Villamarin and should be good in front of the goal against Levante.
Levante have been terrible thus far on their travels in La Liga. Coach Paco Lopez has watched his side lose both of their games away from the Ciutat de Valencia Stadium. Levante have scored just two goals in 180 minutes of football while conceding four times.
The Frogs were shut out by Alaves 1-0 in their first road match of the season while losing a five-goal thriller against Real Madrid the next time away from home.
The last time Real Betis hosted Levante at the Benito Villamarin, they were stuffed 3-0. Levante scored thanks to Roger and Jose Morales, who bagged two goals.
Real Betis’ Loren Moron and Nabil Fekir have tallied five of the team’s six goals in La Liga. The attacking duo has scored 83% of the team’s scoring.
Levante have scored six times as well. However, their defence has not been quite as porous as Real Betis’ backline. The white and green have conceded six goals in their five La Liga fixtures.
Both teams need victories on Tuesday night. Real Betis may not have the defence to take all three points, however. They kept a clean sheet last time out, but with Levante a good scoring team, Rubi will have had little time to prepare his team.
