Our Prediction for Betis vs Leganés
The "Cucumbers" took a step back last season. A team that won the Copa del Rey in 2022 and finished fifth in La Liga, ended last season in seventh place, just managing to secure a spot in European competition. Leganés, after several failed attempts, finally gathered enough points to return to La Liga, finishing in first place.
This was the first success for Borja Jiménez, who took over last summer from Deportivo. Jiménez remains in charge of Leganés, but the squad has undergone significant changes. The team strengthened up until the transfer deadline, signing players like Aller and Nastasić on the final day, with earlier additions including Poroso and Munir El Haddadi on loan. The changes were no less drastic for Betis. The Seville side also made moves until the last moment, signing Lo Celso on deadline day and earlier acquiring Víctor Roque on loan.
Betis started confidently with "clean sheet" victories in the European qualifiers against Kryvbas. However, their La Liga campaign has been less impressive, with draws against Girona and Alavés, and a 0-2 loss to Real Madrid. The newcomers from Leganés had a brighter start, beating Las Palmas at home and drawing away to Osasuna and Valladolid. Their only loss came on the last day of summer, a 0-1 defeat to Mallorca at home.
