The 2021-22 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another set of games this weekend as Real Betis take on Levante on Sunday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.
Levante are rooted to the bottom of the league table at the moment and have endured a dismal campaign. The Valencia-based outfit held Athletic Bilbao to a 0-0 stalemate last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Real Betis, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the La Liga standings and have been impressive this season. The Andalusians eased past Elche by a 3-0 margin in their previous league game and will be confident going into this match.
Real Betis vs Levante Head-to-Head
Real Betis have a good record against Levante and have won 12 out of 26 matches played between the two teams. Levante have managed 10 victories against Real Betis and could trouble their opponents on Sunday.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in March this year and ended in a 2-0 victory for Real Betis. Levante struggled on the day and have a point to prove this weekend.
