Levante vs Betis Prediction for 14 September 2025 - Football

🔈 Can the "Frogs" put an end to their disappointing start to the new season? One of the standout fixtures of Sunday’s La Liga schedule is the clash between Levante and Real Betis at the "Ciutat de València." Unlike the hosts, the "Heliopolitans" have already secured 5 points and sit in 8th place in the standings. Manuel Pellegrini's side has a clear objective: to defeat the league's main underdog and continue climbing up the table. The bookmakers' odds are as follows: a Levante win is at 3.3, while a Betis victory stands at 2.21.

Head-to-Head

📊 The last time these clubs clashed was over three years ago during the 2021/22 La Liga season. On that occasion, the "Heliopolitans" triumphed over the "Frogs" with a 4-2 victory at the "Ciutat de València". In their last 10 head-to-head encounters, the Seville side holds a slight edge with 6 wins compared to Levante's 4. Taking a look at their average goal-scoring record throughout their history, Levante average 1.23 goals per match, while Betis come in at 1.63.

Levante UD Team Overview

🔴 Levante's performance in the Spanish top flight hasn't exactly brought smiles to their fans' faces. Alongside Girona, "The Frogs" remain one of the few teams in the league yet to secure a single point. Despite having opportunities in each match to earn at least a draw, a lack of experience and imbalance across their lines have hindered their quest for stability and ultimately, results.

🔵 Last round, Levante had a golden opportunity to grab points against fellow newcomers Elche (0-2). However, the "Green-and-Whites" were more tactically astute and capitalized on their opportunities. Julian Calero's side, on the other hand, failed to make the most of their attacking phases. Levante's tactical approach is based on a patient style of play with a focus on defensive solidity. In the opening rounds of the championship, "The Frogs" employed a 5-4-1 formation, aiming to close down spaces between the lines.

Real Betis Team Overview

⚪ The "Heliopolitans" have struggled with consistency at the start of the season. Under Manuel Pellegrini, they've played four matches in La Liga, securing just one victory against Alaves (1-0). Currently, the Seville-based side sits in 8th place on the league table with five points. Notably, in every game of this La Liga campaign, the "Beticos" have found the back of the net.

🟢 In their last outing, Betis suffered their first defeat of the season, losing to Athletic Bilbao (1-2) in what was technically a home game. Throughout the match, it was unclear what tactical approach Manuel Pellegrini's team was following. The "Heliopolitans" looked particularly weak in their attacking phases, lacking skilled dribblers capable of creating chances out of nothing—registering just 0.62 xG for the entire game. Their defensive efforts were also questionable: the "Basques" easily navigated through Betis's midfield block, breaking into the final third. Defensive disarray led to Athletic scoring twice.

📰 On the final day of the transfer window, Levante bolstered their squad with two new signings. One of them is Cameroonian striker Etta Eyong, whose rights were acquired from Villarreal for €3 million. The player himself commented on his move: "I wanted to come here because I liked the club's project. This is a club aiming to stay in the top division, and I also aspire to progress in my career. I chose Levante as the best option for me to grow and to help the team grow." The other newcomer is Unai Vencedor, who has joined on a one-year loan from Athletic.

🎤 After the transfer window closed, Hector Rodas, the club's technical director, assessed the club's market activity: "Despite having minimal financial resources compared to other teams, we signed twelve players, terminated some contracts, took players on loan, and like all Levante fans, we aim to ensure the team remains in the league."

❌ In Levante's injury list are still Kerwin Arriaga (leg injury), Godwin Koyalipou (ankle injury), and Alan Matturro (hip injury).

Real Betis

📰 On the final day of the transfer window, Real Betis were extremely active. The headline news was the much-anticipated return of Antony—the Brazilian winger was bought from Manchester United for €22 million. After signing the contract, the player couldn't hold back his tears and shared his emotions about this cherished move: “A day before the deal was finalized, I spoke with Bayern's management. But I told them the deal with Betis was 95% done, and I would keep my word. I did this out of respect and love, and also because I know I'm very happy here. More than five clubs reached out to me. But, as I've always said, Betis was my priority.” Besides him, the Heliopolitans managed to secure Sofyan Amrabat and Yohan Koro on loan.

❌ Due to various injuries, the upcoming match will see Ez Abde (ankle injury), Isco (leg fracture), and Ruibal García (leg injury) sidelined.

🟨 Yellow Card Prediction

🟨 Yellow Card Prediction

In head-to-head encounters between these teams, a substantial number of bookings is typically recorded—around 5.3 per match. Let's also consider the average number of yellow cards each side has received at the start of the new season: Levante with 2, Betis with 1.5. We suggest focusing on this event: total yellow cards over 3.5.

⚽ Goal Prediction

At least 3 goals have been scored in 7 of the last 8 head-to-head matches. It's important to note the average number of goals conceded by the teams at the start of this season: Levante with 2.3, Betis with 1. Our editorial team expects the visitors to have a positional advantage, but we shouldn't rule out the possibility of Levante striking back a couple of times. Our pick is total goals over 2.5.

🚩 Corner Prediction

Let's examine the ratio of corners won and conceded by the teams at the start of the season. Betis can't boast a positive trend: 4 won against 5.8 conceded. Levante, meanwhile, is the league's worst in this statistical category: 1 won against 8.3 conceded. In head-to-head matchups, a significant number of corners have always been recorded—9.4 per game. Our choice is total corners over 8.5.

Betis made some impressive signings in the final days of the transfer window, and now Manuel Pellegrini's squad is expected to deliver a more organized and incisive performance. The "Frogs" are currently not ready to compete on equal terms with the solid La Liga teams—they need time to adapt to the challenging conditions and achieve full cohesion in their play. Our prediction for the final score is 1-3, with the key bet being Betis to win with a handicap (0).
