Comments and predictions for Real Betis vs Leganes: Dramatic close match

Latest Real Betis vs Leganes team information

Real Betis are facing a long injury list, with players such as Marc Roca, Juanmi, Marc Bartra, Nobel Mendy, Cedric Bakambu and Isco all unavailable.

Although Barcelona loanee Vitor Roque made his debut against Real Madrid before the international break, he may have to wait to start from the bench. Aitor Ruibal could continue to lead the line for the hosts, while Giovani Lo Celso, recently returned from Tottenham Hotspur, is expected to play on the wing following Rodri's departure from the club.

For Leganes, Renato Tapia will miss out due to a muscle injury, but the visitors still have a strong squad for the fifth match of the new La Liga season. Yvan Neyou could replace Tapia and make his fourth start of the season. Juan Cruz, who has scored two goals in La Liga this season, could be included in the starting line-up, with Munir El Haddadi also likely to start.

Latest Real Betis vs Leganes football review

Real Betis have had a disappointing start to the 2024-25 La Liga season, with two draws and one loss after three rounds, scoring just one goal.

Manuel Pellegrini's side opened with draws against Girona and Alaves, before losing 2-0 to Real Madrid. However, Betis have been impressive in Europe with two wins against Kryvbas, securing their place in the Conference League group stage with a 5-0 aggregate scoreline.

Betis now have three consecutive home games in La Liga against Leganes, Getafe and Mallorca, and they need to take advantage of this opportunity to improve their position in 17th place. Last season, Betis finished seventh, a disappointing performance compared to previous seasons.

In contrast, Leganes, newly promoted from the Segunda Division, have started the season well with five points from four games and are currently ninth. They opened the season with a 1-1 draw against Osasuna, then won 2-1 against Las Palmas, and drew goalless with Real Valladolid before losing 1-0 to Mallorca.

Leganes have won three of their last seven meetings with Real Betis, with the last meeting between the two sides ending in a 0-0 draw in February 2020. Despite Leganes’ good start, Real Betis are still capable of taking all three points at home in this Friday night’s game.
