Real Betis have opened the La Liga season with two consecutive wins and zero goals conceded, showing defensive solidity across their first two fixtures. Levante have struggled in the final third, failing to score in either of their opening two league matches (0 goals scored, 3 conceded). While Betis carry notable injury absences including Lo Celso and Ezzalzouli, covering the away win and draw provides a balanced hedge against early-season variance.

Match preview
Levante host Real Betis at the start of matchday 3 in La Liga, looking to jumpstart an attack that has yet to find the back of the net this season. The hosts opened their campaign with a 3-0 defeat at Espanyol followed by a scoreless 0-0 draw against Osasuna, leaving them in 17th place with a single point and three goals conceded across two away trips.
Real Betis enter the contest in strong early form, sitting in 3rd place with a maximum of six points from their opening two fixtures. Manuel Pellegrini's side secured back-to-back 1-0 victories against Real Sociedad and on their travels, maintaining consecutive clean sheets. However, Betis must navigate several squad absences, with Giovani Lo Celso, Abde Ezzalzouli, Aitor Ruibal, Diego Conde, Javi Morante, and Gerard Petit all listed on the injury report.
Historically, head-to-head encounters between these clubs have produced competitive contests, with Real Betis winning five and Levante four across their last ten meetings, including Betis's 2-1 victory in their most recent clash in May 2026. Given Betis's disciplined defensive start against Levante's scoring drought, the visitors carry solid momentum into this away fixture.
