Match between Levante UD and Real Betis - Preview

Levante UD face Real Betis searching for their first win of the 2026/27 La Liga season, while the visitors from Seville arrive in outstanding form - 6 points from 6 and not a single goal conceded in their opening two league matches.

For Levante, the opening weeks have been rough. A 3-0 defeat at Espanyol on 16 August, followed by a 0-0 draw away at Osasuna on 24 August, has left Luís Castro's side with 1 point and no goals scored through two matchdays. The home fixture against a high-quality Betis side represents both a challenge and an opportunity - Levante's record at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia against this opponent stands at 6 wins and 5 losses in 14 meetings, suggesting the ground can be a fortress when things click.

Real Betis, under Manuel Pellegrini, are building on an outstanding 2025/26 campaign that delivered a fifth-place La Liga finish and a first Champions League berth in 21 years. They opened the new season with a 1-0 home win over Real Sociedad and followed it up with another narrow 1-0 victory away at Valencia - a late goal from substitute Pablo García sealing three points at the Mestalla. The Seville club also showed impressive pre-season form with a 3-1 win at Arsenal and a 4-0 victory over Lyon.

Levante UD - Recent Form

Levante UD head into this match without a win in their first 2 La Liga games of 2026/27 - beaten 3-0 by Espanyol and held to a goalless draw at Osasuna - leaving Castro's side at the foot of the early table with 1 point.

The club's difficult start is compounded by the memory of a turbulent 2025/26 campaign. Levante returned to the top flight after winning the Segunda División title in 2024/25, then spent much of their first season back fighting relegation. Manager Julián Calero was sacked after 14 games when the team sat at the bottom of the table; it was Luís Castro, appointed on 20 December 2025, who stabilised the ship and guided Levante to a 16th-place finish. Carlos Espí was the standout performer with 11 La Liga goals, including the away win that handed Levante a stunning 4-0 victory at Girona.

The new season has so far replicated the same vulnerability. The 3-0 loss to Espanyol was a difficult opening; the draw in Pamplona - goalless but with a clean sheet - at least showed some defensive improvement. Whether Castro's side can build on that against a Betis outfit that has started the season conceding nothing remains the key question heading into Matchday 3.

Real Betis - Recent Form

Real Betis have made the ideal start to the 2026/27 La Liga season - two games, two wins, two clean sheets, and 6 points from 6 available.

The sequence began with a 1-0 home win over Real Sociedad on 21 August, then continued with a hard-fought 1-0 away victory at Valencia on 25 August. In that Mestalla encounter, substitute Fran García broke down the left flank and laid on the assist for Pablo García, whose finish proved to be the winner. Pellegrini's defensive organisation has been particularly impressive - Betis have given nothing away in their opening two league games.

The foundations for this form were laid in 2025/26, when Betis finished fifth in La Liga and earned a Champions League place for the first time in 21 years via the UEFA European Performance Spot. Their pre-season suggested the ambition is only growing: a 3-1 win at Arsenal and a 4-0 defeat of Lyon gave clear signals of Betis's intent heading into this new campaign.
