- Levante have lost their only home game so far in LaLiga 2025/2026.

- Levante have lost 3 straight games to open the season in LaLiga 2025/2026.
Levante’s new boss faces first major test
Real Betis will take some stopping as they travel to Valencia to face newly promoted Levante in a LaLiga 2025/2026 matchup on Sunday. The hosts sit 19th in the league table with 0 points from 3 games after a woeful start to the campaign, but the visiting side are 8th with 5 points from 4, giving them a much more solid start to the new season.
Julian Calero has done a remarkable job since taking over at Levante in July 2024. He has fostered a strict, disciplined team that can be tough to break down when sitting deep, soaking up pressure and releasing pressure quickly with vertical passes. This style is perfect for counter-attacking, and Levante do possess players that can be dangerous in transition, namely Jeremy Toljan who has 1 assist in 3 LaLiga games this term, but their results have been disappointing.
Levante's last 5 matches show 1 win and 4 losses, and they’ve lost their only home match. Calero’s side fell 2-3 at home to Barcelona and 2-0 away to Elche, and with 0 points from 3, it’s imperative that they get something this weekend according to our Levante vs Real Betis prediction.
Betis look to lock in a consistent start
Real Betis’ form has been inconsistent, picking up 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats from their 5 games, but their 1-1 draw at Celta de Vigo and their 1-2 defeat at home to Athletic Bilbao were both well-fought efforts.
Manuel Pellegrini has been at the helm since August 2020 and has continued to blend possession-based soccer with a flexible tactical approach that has seen them push for European places. They are fluid and can be very dangerous when they overload the final third with their talented players, and Aitor Ruibal is their most dangerous man in front of goal with 1 goal in 3 LaLiga appearances so far, but their movement and cleverness in the box is always a threat. This Levante vs Real Betis preview highlights the tactical matchup between a disciplined Levante and the more dynamic Betis side.
Betis can unlock the home side
Real Betis are 2.18 favorites here but Levante are 3.46 and that’s a little surprising given that the visitors have more quality and form than their opponents, so I’m betting on Betis to take all 3 points here based on the latest Levante vs Real Betis prediction.
A draw is 3.50, which is also tempting, but Levante have conceded 3 goals in their only home outing so far and Betis are the superior side in possession and on paper. The best Levante vs Real Betis betting tips would suggest Betis can find a way to unlock Levante’s block but the newly-promoted side will get some joy on the counter, so backing Betis to score over 1.5 goals looks a solid play at a shade of odds on.
