Leganes vs Real Betis: Preview and Predictions

Leganes vs Real Betis
Spanish La Liga
Date: Monday, 8th May April 2017
Kick-off at 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: Estadio Municipal de Butarque (Leganes).

A series of poor results pulled Leganes close to the relegation zone. They are now staying out of the drop zone by virtue of a minimal 3 points. With the league coming to an end in a matter of three weeks, Leganes must start picking maximum points from home games to ensure their survival.

Leganes managed to win just once in the last six La Liga matches. They lost in five matches during the period. However, the home form is a tad better after picking 3 wins, 1 draw from six matches, losing in two.

Real Betis have some cushion for comfort as they sit two positions above Leganes. They are 10 points above the relegation zone and just need a point from the remaining three matches to confirm the safety.

The overall form is Betis draws similarity with that of Leganes. Their last 9 matches saw 3 wins and 6 losses. Away from home, the form is rather pathetic after picking just 1 win and 4 losses from the last five.

Leganes vs Real Betis: Prediction

In all honesty, both teams are coming into this match in extreme poor shape. Leganes could be given a slight advantage of having the match being played at their home ground. Also, their home record is a tad better than the away form of Betis.

Having said all these, this match could go either ways. So a better option is to go for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals. Either of the teams want to drop points here and this is why we will witness a very open contest.
