This Wednesday’s clash in Valencia is another big one for Levante who find themselves battling against relegation despite a bright start to the season. There’s not really any more positivity in the Real Betis camp though after another weekend defeat added to the growing uncertainty surrounding the future of Quique Setien. They could do with a win here as they bid to remain in the race for Europa League football. Setien’s situation is a curious one. He is the bookies favourite to be the next Barcelona manager and many Barca fans would welcome him right now. However, his possession-based approach and some of his comments to the press haven’t gone down well with Betis fans, many of whom were chanting for him to go during the defeat against Valencia at the weekend. Any decision is likely to be made in the summer and the final five games may have a bearing on whether he stays or goes. It is a game in which they would have been targeting three points, but they’ve now gone 9 without victory in La Liga. This promises to be a good game despite the problems both sides are facing. Betis will certainly come chasing victory as they aim to make up ground in the race for at least 7th. All of their last 6 matches have seen goals at each end of the pitch with 5 of those fixtures serving up 3 or more goals. Levante meanwhile are the team with the worst defensive record in La Liga but surprisingly the joint 5th best goalscoring record. 75% of their home league games have produced over 2.5 goals and they’ve shown no real signs of adapting their style to make themselves more solid at the back.

Levante have 75% Levante’s league games have been over 2.5 goals.

Levante have not won a game in 9 matches in the league.

Levante were 3-0 winners last time round.

Therefore, we’ve plenty of reason to expect a fair bit of goalmouth action here and backing Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score looks like the way to go. Backing Giovani Lo Celso to Score Anytime also appeals. The Argentine who recently agreed to convert his loan deal into a permanent switch has had a brilliant first season in Seville with 16 goals in all competitions including 4 in his last 3 games. We predict this to be a statement, the best odds for this are with Unibet at 3.55.
