Team Analysis
Real Betis is looking to recover from a lackluster start to their La Liga season. Despite a challenging match against Real Madrid in their last outing, which ended in a 0-2 loss, Betis aims to capitalize on their home advantage at the Benito Villamarin. The team has been struggling with injuries, notably missing key player Isco, who is still recovering from a leg injury. Additionally, recent departures like Rodri have left gaps in their lineup. However, Betis has historically performed well at home against Leganes, which could play a crucial role in their quest for a much-needed victory.

Leganes has had a promising start to the season, sitting in the ninth position with five points from four matches. They recently faced a narrow 0-1 defeat against Mallorca but remain optimistic about their performance. With new signings like Matija Nastasic and Sebastien Aller potentially making their debuts, Leganes is looking to strengthen their squad. The team has shown resilience away from home, though they have struggled in past visits to Betis.

Head-to-Head
Past encounters between Betis and Leganes at the Benito Villamarin have favored the home side. In their four previous La Liga meetings on this ground, Betis has emerged victorious each time, with the most recent win being a 2-1 result in August 2019.

Prediction
Betis is expected to break their winless streak with a victory over Leganes, leveraging their home advantage and historical success against this opponent. Despite their current challenges, Betis's tactical approach and home form suggest they can secure a 2-1 win. The match is likely to feature more than 2.5 goals, as recent head-to-head encounters have typically been high-scoring affairs. Additionally, Betis is predicted to dominate in corner kicks, given their aggressive style of play.
