Real Betis vs Leganes Predictions

• Betis have lost just one of their last six home matches in all competitions
• Leganes have scored just three goals in four matches on their return to La Liga
• The visitors have failed to score in their last two matches – with just three shots on target in those two fixtures

Betis to build on decent start

Real Betis have had to juggle Conference League commitments with the start of their La Liga campaign but they have made a decent fist of it and a La Liga victory over Leganes is our prediction this Friday.

A defeat at Real Madrid last time out can easily be excused but Manuel Pellegrini’s men have drawn their other two league matches of the fledgling campaign.

Betis gave Ukrainian side Kryvbas short shrift in their Conference League playoff, winning 5-0 on aggregate, and they can see off Leganes in match we predict to feature no more than two goals.

Los pepineros have failed to score in their last two league outings and they may struggle to land a blow on Betis this Friday.

Leganes lack a cutting edge

Survival is the main aim for Leganes who will be delighted to be back in the Spanish top flight, but their bright start may be coming to an end.

A win and two draws were followed by a limp 1-0 home loss to Mallorca last time out and Borja Jimenez’s side have failed to score in their last two games.

Just three shots on target have been managed in those two fixtures and Leganes have scored just three times in four matches this season.

A 2-0 home win is the correct score prediction for this match as Betis have kept clean sheets in three of their five outings so far.
