Real Betis will entertain Leganes at Estadio Benito Villamarín in La Liga on Friday, as they resume their league campaign following the international break. The hosts have endured a winless start to their league campaign while Los Pepineros have one win in four games.
Betis met defending champions Real Madrid in their previous outing earlier this month and fell to a 2-0 away loss. They failed to score for the second consecutive league match and will look to return to goalscoring ways.
The visitors suffered their first loss of the league campaign last time around as they fell to a 1-0 home loss to Mallorca, failing to score for the second match on the spin. They played Fuenlabrada in a friendly last week and bounced back with a 3-0 win.

Real Betis vs Leganes Prediction
Los Verdiblancos have endured a winless start to their league campaign, scoring just once in three games. They suffered their first loss of the season earlier this month and will look to bounce back with a win. They are on a six-game winless streak in the league, scoring just three goals, which is a cause for concern.
The international break has allowed Manuel Pellegrini to recover Marc Roca, Juanmi, Cédric Bakambu, Marc Bartra, and Nobel Mendy from minor injuries and only Isco remains on the sidelines.
Los Pepineros saw their unbeaten streak in La Liga end after eight games in their previous outing, as they fell to a 1-0 home loss to Mallorca. Nonetheless, they are unbeaten in their last five away games, keeping four clean sheets, and will look to build on that form.
Matija Nastasic and Sébastien Haller took part in training earlier this week and are likely to start from the bench here. Renato Tapia will return late from his international duty with Peru and faces a late fitness test.
Considering the current form of the two teams and the fitness levels of key players returning from international duties, a draw will likely ensue.
