Real Betis and Levante meet at Estadio de la Cartuja in Sevilla for the final La Liga 2025/26 matchday, both seeking to end their campaigns positively. With Betis sitting fifth and Levante narrowly above relegation, tension will run high. The sides previously drew 2-2 this season. Cucho Hernández (Betis) and Carlos Espí (Levante) enter as key attacking threats, both showing strong recent form. A “hot stat”: both teams scored nine goals in their last five matches, with Levante firing a remarkable 84 shots in that span an attacking approach not typical for a bottom-half side.

Real Betis vs Levante prediction
We predict Real Betis to secure a home win. Bookmakers slightly favor Betis, and the team’s home form, combined with their superior league position and squad quality, tip the balance. Betis showed resilience against strong opponents recently, holding Real Madrid to a draw and beating Elche and Real Oviedo. Levante’s recent run is impressive for a bottom-half side, but their defense remains leaky, conceding five at Villarreal and allowing more shots than most mid-table teams.
Both teams rack up fouls Betis 52, Levante 54 in the last five matches suggesting a combative clash. Levante’s ten yellow cards point to a riskier defensive style, while Betis tend to control the ball more, with higher pass accuracy (Betis: 86%, Levante: 83%). This disparity in discipline and possession could allow Betis to dominate the tempo and create more clear chances. Expect set pieces to play a major role, given the high corner count (Betis: 27, Levante: 30).

Team Analysis
Real Betis drew 2-2 with Real Sociedad before falling 1-3 to Barcelona. Against Elche, Betis came out on top 2-1, displaying attacking variety with goals from midfield and forwards. Cucho Hernández has been decisive, scoring three in the last five. In their latest match, Betis managed only a consolation goal against Barcelona, but previously controlled weaker sides. Their defensive line has shown lapses under pressure, conceding in each of the last three games. Betis’ typical 4-4-2 system supports direct wing play and overloads in central midfield.
Levante, managed by Luís Castro, surged late in the season: a 2-0 win against Mallorca followed back-to-back 3-2 victories over Osasuna and Celta Vigo. Carlos Espí stands out up front, netting twice in the last five. Levante’s 4-1-4-1 formation leans on quick transitions and high pressing, often leaving gaps in defense but creating chances in bunches. Their 1-5 defeat at Villarreal exposes ongoing fragility, but they recovered with a clean sheet against Mallorca.

The Verdict
We predict Real Betis will prevail, based on stronger squad depth, home advantage, and more consistent results against mid-table and lower teams. Levante’s recent form should keep things competitive, and both sides are likely to score. Expect a lively match with plenty of corners and open play, but Betis’ attacking quality gives them the edge.
