Real Betis vs Levante Prediction: Key Stats and Betting Tips

Real Betis and Levante close out their La Liga campaigns at Estadio de La Cartuja in Sevilla on 23 May 2026, with both sides arriving in contrasting league positions but similar recent attacking output. Betis sit fifth with 57 points and a healthy +10 goal difference after 37 matches, already in the Champions League league-phase zone but still with work to do to lock in that top-five finish. Levante, in 15th on 42 points and a -13 goal difference, have steered clear of the relegation fight yet remain eager to finish on a high.

For those looking at a Real Betis vs Levante prediction, the context is intriguing. Betis have been hard to beat all year – only eight league losses – and particularly strong at “home” environments, with nine wins and just three defeats in 18 designated home games. Levante have been far more volatile, losing 17 times but showing recent improvement with a “WWWLD” league form string. That upturn, coupled with a historically lively head-to-head, gives this La Liga clash genuine betting interest.

The venue switch to Estadio de La Cartuja adds a neutral-stadium wrinkle, but the stakes remain clear: Betis are defending a European position, while Levante can climb the table and build momentum. With both teams averaging well over a goal per game and past meetings frequently high-scoring, this fixture profiles as one of the more watchable matches on the final regular-season round.

Real Betis vs Levante Key Stats

• Real Betis are 5th with 57 points from 37 matches (57 scored, 47 conceded), while Levante are 15th with 42 points (46 scored, 59 conceded).

• Betis average 1.5 goals scored and 1.3 conceded per game this season, 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 Real Betis as the more consistent and balanced side. With 14 wins and 15 draws from 37 league fixtures, they have combined a solid attack (57 goals) with a relatively stable defence (47 conceded). Their home record of nine wins, six draws and just three defeats underlines why they are firmly in the Champions League league-phase positions heading into the final round.

Levante’s campaign has been far more erratic. Eleven wins, nine draws and 17 losses point to a side that can be dangerous but often fragile, particularly away from home where they have lost 10 of 18 matches and conceded 31 goals. Still, their recent “WWWLD” league form suggests an upturn at exactly the right time, and their total of 46 goals indicates they carry enough threat to trouble Betis if given space.

Real Betis vs Levante Key Matchups

C. Hernández vs Carlos Espí

C. Hernández has been a central figure for Real Betis, scoring 11 league goals and adding 3 assists in 31 appearances. His volume is impressive: 63 shots with 25 on target, plus 33 key passes and 642 total passes at 71% accuracy. He is also active without the ball, with 27 tackles and 9 interceptions, and draws plenty of fouls (37), making him both a finishing and link-up focal point.

For Levante, Carlos Espí offers a comparable cutting edge. In 24 appearances (12 starts), he has produced 10 goals, an excellent return given his 1,261 minutes. He has 44 shots with 22 on target and 9 key passes, and engages in 194 duels, winning 93. While he has no assists, his role is clearly that of a direct goal threat. This matchup between Hernández’s all-round attacking profile and Espí’s penalty-box efficiency could decide which side converts more of their chances.

A. Ezzalzouli vs Pablo Martínez and Levante’s midfield

Abdessamad Ezzalzouli has been one of Betis’ standout creators. In 28 league appearances, he has 9 goals and 8 assists, underpinned by 52 shots (25 on target) and 768 passes at 79% accuracy. His 29 key passes, 84 dribble attempts with 39 successful, and 69 fouls drawn highlight how frequently he destabilises defences. He also contributes defensively with 52 tackles and 16 interceptions.

Levante’s midfield unit, led by players such as Pablo Martínez, will need to disrupt Ezzalzouli’s rhythm. While Martínez’s individual attacking stats are not listed among the top assist providers, Levante’s broader numbers – 46 goals for, with late surges in the 76–90 minute range – suggest their midfield can transition quickly. Containing Ezzalzouli between the lines and in wide areas will be crucial if Levante are to avoid being overrun.

Head-to-Head: Last Meetings

Recent head-to-head history has been lively and relatively even, with both sides enjoying big wins and high-scoring encounters. Across the most recent clashes, Real Betis have generally had the upper hand, especially in Sevilla, but Levante have produced notable victories in Valencia.

Real Betis vs Levante Prediction

Analysis points to a finely balanced contest, but with a clear edge towards Real Betis avoiding defeat. The prediction metrics give Betis a 45% chance of victory and the draw also at 45%, leaving Levante at just 10%. That aligns with the league table: Betis are a top-five side with strong home numbers, while Levante’s away record is patchy despite their recent surge.

Both teams’ last-five league matches show identical attacking output at 1.8 goals per game, but Levante concede more (1.8 vs Betis’ 1.4). Head-to-head trends also lean Betis’ way, with multiple wins and high-scoring successes in recent years. However, the double-chance advice (Betis or draw) and the goals projection of under 2.5 for both sides individually suggest a competitive game rather than a rout, likely decided by narrow margins and individual quality from the likes of Hernández, Ezzalzouli and Espí.

Real Betis Possible Starting Lineup

Adrián; Héctor Bellerín, Marc Bartra, Diego Llorente, Junior Firpo; S. Amrabat, Marc Roca; Antony, Pablo Fornals, A. Ezzalzouli; C. Hernández.

Betis have consistently favoured back-four structures such as 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3, used in 25 and 10 league matches respectively. That points to a likely setup with a double pivot protecting an experienced back line, while a technically gifted trio of Antony, Fornals and Ezzalzouli operates behind Hernández. With 57 goals scored and only 4 games all season where they failed to score, this configuration maximises their creative and finishing talent, supported by full-backs like Bellerín and Junior Firpo pushing high.

Levante Possible Starting Lineup

M. Ryan; Manu Sánchez, Unai Elgezabal, A. Matturro, Diego Pampín; Oriol Rey, Unai Vencedor; Brugui, Pablo Martínez, Víctor García; Carlos Espí.

Levante have alternated between 4-4-2 and 4-2-3-1 (11 matches each), with 4-1-4-1 also used regularly. A pragmatic 4-2-3-1 here would allow them to double-screen the defence while giving Espí service from wide players like Brugui and Víctor García and a central creator in Martínez. Their 46 goals and nine clean sheets indicate a side capable of both hurting opponents and occasionally shutting them out, but the away record suggests they may initially prioritise compactness before committing numbers forward.

Betting Tips: Real Betis vs Levante

Exactly 3 distinct tips from different markets:

• Result Tip: Back Real Betis or Draw (Double Chance). With Betis given a 45% win probability and the draw also at 45% versus just 10% for Levante, the hosts are strong favourites to avoid defeat. Match-winner markets price Betis around 2.23–2.32 for the straight home win (e.g. 2.23 at Unibet, 2.32 at Pinnacle), so using them in double-chance combinations or Betis-draw cover looks a sensible, lower-risk angle.
• Goals Tip: Both Teams to Score. Both sides average at least 1.2 goals per game and have scored 9 goals each across their last five league outings. Recent head-to-heads include 2-2, 4-4 on aggregate-type scorelines and multiple games where both teams have found the net. With match odds generally balanced between 2.25 and 3.50 across the 1X2 lines, BTTS is likely to be competitively priced in a game where neither defence has been watertight.
• Value Tip: Carlos Espí to Score Anytime (Longer Odds Angle). Espí has 10 goals in 24 appearances despite starting only 12 times, making him Levante’s standout finisher. Against a Betis side that concedes 1.3 goals per match overall, he represents a strong value scorer pick at what should be underdog prices, given Levante’s match-winner odds sit as high as 3.50 for the away win at Pinnacle.
