Leganes vs Betis prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-03-15 13:00.
[p]After ending a five-match winless streak in La Liga by beating Getafe 1-0 on home soil at the start of March, Leganés were brought back down to earth last weekend as they were beaten 2-1 by Celta Vigo. That leaves the home side hovering just above the relegation places heading into this matchday, just one point above the safety line as they look to avoid making an immediate return to the second tier.[/p]
[p]Leganés will be relieved to be returning home for this latest fixture as they have picked up five of their six league victories so far this season at Estadio Municipal de Butarque. The hosts also boast a handy record against Real Betis here of late, as since April 1994 they’ve remained unbeaten across their six such matches across all competitions (W4, D2). [/p]
[p]Betis make the trip north in scintillating recent form on all fronts and with plenty of confidence in the tank. A 4-0 away win against Portugal’s Vitória de Guimarães in midweek saw Los Verdiblancos reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Conference League, and their domestic performances remain strong, with a 1-0 win over Las Palmas last weekend making it four successive La Liga victories.[/p]
[p]This weekend, Betis will be looking to make that five consecutive top-flight victories for the first time since April 2018, a handy bit of extra motivation at a venue where they’ve struggled over recent visits. They’ll also be chasing successive away wins against sides from the community of Madrid in the competition for the first time since January 2023, after beating Getafe 2-1 on their last such visit. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Juan Cruz will be hoping to add to his seven goals across all competitions for Leganés this season, four of which have come as his side’s opening strike. Betis’ Diego Llorente is the only defender to have scored more than one goal in 2025 in La Liga, netting twice this calendar year. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Ahead of the round, only Real Madrid and Barcelona (both 16) have scored more goals from set-pieces than Real Betis in La Liga this season (15).[/p]
