Real Betis 23/20 to beat Leganes in Monday’s La Liga showdown

Competition: La Liga

Market: Real Betis to beat Leganes

Odds: 23/20 @ Bet365

La Liga is back for another exciting round of games as Spain’s top league continues to simmer away nicely. The importance of going on a positive run in January cannot be underestimated, with many teams getting bogged down after the turn of the year, seeing their good start count for nothing. With all of this in mind, Real Betis host Leganes on Monday.

Real Betis have been in fairly good form this season but they need to climb up the table even further if they are to put the threat of relegation out of their minds. From their 18 games they have won seven, drawn three and lost eight, while they have scored 30 goals and conceded 34 times. In their last five they have managed to win twice, but they have also lost three times, which has seen them onto 24 points for the season so far. Betis are currently nine points clear of the relegation zone, and another string of wins could all but secure their survival.

Leganes have been remarkably similar to Betis this season with regard to their form. After 17 games they have won seven, drawn three and lost seven, while they have scored 13 goals and conceded 14 times. In their last five they have won twice, lost twice and drawn once, which has seen them onto 24 points for the season so far, above Betis on goal difference. The two will surely play out a very interesting mid-table battle, with the victor moving above the other.
