Real Betis vs Levante Prediction: Key Stats and Betting Tips

Real Betis and Levante close out their La Liga campaign at the neutral Estadio de La Cartuja in Sevilla on 23 May 2026, with both sides chasing very different objectives. Betis arrive in a strong position in the table and are pushing to secure a Champions League league-phase spot, while Levante’s priority is to finish a turbulent season on a positive note after spending much of it in the lower half.

Betis sit 5th with 57 points from 37 matches, boasting a positive goal difference of +10 after scoring 57 and conceding 47. They are already in the Champions League zone by description and will want to rubber-stamp that status with a professional performance. Levante, by contrast, are 15th on 42 points, with a goal difference of -13 (46 scored, 59 conceded). Safety looks assured but the numbers underline why they have been closer to the relegation battle than the European conversation.

With Real Betis vs Levante predictions pointing towards a home-favoured outcome and the betting odds reflecting Betis as favourites on neutral ground, this fixture shapes up as a test of Betis’ consistency against a Levante side whose recent form has improved but whose defensive record remains fragile.

Real Betis vs Levante Key Stats

  • Real Betis are 5th with 57 points and a +10 goal difference (57 for, 47 against) from 37 league games.
  • The last La Liga meeting on 14 September 2025 at Estadio Ciudad de Valencia finished Levante 2-2 Real Betis.
  • Across the league season, Betis average 1.5 goals scored per match and 1.3 conceded, while Levante average 1.2 scored and 1.6 conceded.

Real Betis vs Levante — Tale of the Tape

  • Position: 5 vs 15
  • Points: 57 vs 42
  • Goals For: 57 vs 46
  • Goals Against: 47 vs 59
  • Clean Sheets: 10 vs 9

The season record shows a clear gap between the sides. Betis have turned 14 wins and 15 draws from 37 matches into a strong top-five standing, combining a solid attack (57 goals) with a relatively controlled defence (47 conceded). Their home record has been particularly reliable, with 9 wins and only 3 defeats in 18 home fixtures, and they now take that confidence into a neutral venue in Sevilla.

Levante’s 11 wins, 9 draws and 17 defeats from the same number of games paint a more erratic picture. Their 59 goals conceded are among the higher tallies in the division, and a -13 goal difference underlines their vulnerability without the ball. While their recent league form string of “WWWLD” hints at an upswing, the broader campaign evidence points to a team that can be opened up, especially by technically strong midfields and wide players such as those Betis possess.

Real Betis vs Levante Key Matchups

C. Hernández vs Carlos Espí

Juan Camilo Hernández has been a central figure for Real Betis this season. The attacker has 11 league goals and 3 assists in 31 appearances, with 29 starts and 2,502 minutes on the pitch. He has taken 63 shots, 25 of them on target, and drawn 37 fouls, illustrating both his goal threat and his ability to unsettle defences. His 5 yellow cards also speak to a combative edge in the final third.

For Levante, Carlos Espí has emerged as a key attacking outlet with 10 goals in 24 appearances, despite starting only 12 of those matches. In 1,261 minutes, he has produced 44 shots with 22 on target, making him an efficient finisher when chances arrive. His duel numbers (194 contested, 93 won) underline a willingness to battle centre-backs. The duel between Hernández’s all-round threat and Espí’s penalty-box instincts could decide which side edges the scoring chances.

A. Ezzalzouli vs Levante’s back line

Abdessamad Ezzalzouli has been one of La Liga’s standout creators for Betis. With 9 goals and 8 assists in 28 appearances (25 starts), he offers a blend of end product and ball progression from wide or between the lines. He has taken 52 shots (25 on target) and completed 39 successful dribbles from 84 attempts, while also delivering 29 key passes and 768 total passes at 79% accuracy. His 69 fouls drawn highlight how often he forces defenders into mistakes.

Against a Levante defence that concedes 1.6 goals per game and has shipped 31 away from home, Ezzalzouli’s ability to isolate full-backs and attack the half-spaces looks pivotal. If Levante’s varied formations — from 4-4-2 to 4-2-3-1 and 5-4-1 — cannot contain his one‑v‑one threat, Betis are likely to generate the volume of chances needed to justify their favourite tag.

Real Betis vs Levante Prediction

Analysis points to a tight but Betis-favoured contest. The prediction metrics give Betis and the draw 45% each, with Levante at just 10%, and the advice leans towards a double chance on Betis or draw. Betis’ superior league position, stronger defensive numbers, and more consistent attacking output suggest they should control territory and possession, especially with creative players like Ezzalzouli, Antony and Pablo Fornals supporting Hernández.

Levante’s recent form is better than their season-long defensive record, and their last five league games show 9 goals scored and 9 conceded, mirroring Betis’ 9 for and 7 against over the same span. That hints at both teams carrying a threat. However, with Betis boasting 10 clean sheets to Levante’s 9 and conceding fewer goals overall, they look slightly better equipped to manage the key moments. With the goals line expectation sitting under 2.5 for both sides, a controlled Betis win in a relatively low-scoring game appears the likeliest scenario.

Real Betis Possible Starting Lineup

Álvaro Vallés; Héctor Bellerín, Marc Bartra, Diego Llorente, Junior Firpo; S. Amrabat, Marc Roca; Antony, Isco, A. Ezzalzouli; C. Hernández.

Betis have consistently favoured back-four systems, most commonly a 4-2-3-1, and their season-long usage of that shape in 25 matches backs the expectation of a similar setup here. Vallés offers stability in goal, with experienced defenders like Bartra and Llorente in front of him. In midfield, the balance of Amrabat and Roca allows creative players Isco, Antony and Ezzalzouli to operate between the lines and out wide, feeding Hernández as the central striker. With no significant absences reported, Manuel Pellegrini has the tools to field an attacking XI capable of breaking down Levante.

Levante Possible Starting Lineup

Pablo Cuñat; J. Toljan, Unai Elgezabal, A. Matturro, Manu Sánchez; Oriol Rey, Unai Vencedor; Brugui, Pablo Martínez, Iker Losada; Carlos Espí.

Levante have alternated between 4-4-2 and 4-2-3-1 across the season, each used 11 times, and a flexible back four with two screening midfielders seems likely. Cuñat or M. Ryan could start in goal, but Cuñat’s presence in the squad list makes him a plausible choice. Elgezabal and Matturro offer physicality at centre-back, with Manu Sánchez providing width from full-back. In midfield, Oriol Rey and Vencedor can shield the defence while Brugui and Losada support Pablo Martínez in creating chances for Espí, whose 10 league goals make him Levante’s primary goal threat.

Betting Tips: Real Betis vs Levante

Exactly 3 distinct tips from different markets:

  • Result Tip: Back Real Betis in the Match Winner market. With prediction percentages giving Betis a strong edge over Levante (45% home vs 10% away, with win-or-draw support), the home side on neutral ground look the more reliable pick. Pinnacle offer around 2.32 on the home outcome, while several major bookmakers are at 2.25.
  • Goals Tip: Bet on under 2.5 total goals. The prediction guidance lists both teams in the under 2.5 bracket, and while both average between 1.2 and 1.5 goals scored per game, this feels like a cagey final-day fixture where Betis’ superior control could limit Levante’s chances. Use a sportsbook offering a dedicated under 2.5 goals market alongside the Match Winner odds from firms such as Bet365 or Unibet.
  • Value Tip: Consider a Betis win in a one-goal margin or Betis to win and under 3.5 goals combined. Betis’ stronger defence (47 conceded vs Levante’s 59) and their 10 clean sheets suggest they can edge a relatively controlled game, while Levante’s recent attacking uptick means a narrow 2-1 or 1-0 type result is plausible. With Match Winner prices around 2.23–2.32 and away odds as big as 3.50, the market slightly underestimates Betis’ structural advantage, creating value on Betis-focused low-goal combinations where available.
