Approximately two months ago nobody thought that Leganes would be endangered considering La Liga status. Only one win in the last 9 games brought them to the verge of collapse and relegation zone. At this moment the home team is just three points above Sporting Gijon, and although they have one game less, it is something that they didn't plan after a solid first half of the season. Real Betis is safe, but they also don't over-exceed too much lately and their form to is something not worth mentioning. They put down some wins when they needed the most, and after that, they were just playing the games without really trying to prove anything.
Leganes News And Form
As we mentioned above, in the last 9 games the home team has only one win. And in 5 out of the last 6 matches, they were defeated. To make it even worse in each of those game, except one, they conceded at least two goals. When looking the form at their home in the last 5 events, they have 2 wins, 2 defeats, and one draw. If they want to stay in La Liga, they just have to win this game tonight. After this match, they are heading for Bilbao which is the place where they shouldn't look for any points.
Real Betis News And Form

When we are looking their away record, it gets even worse. They have 4 defeats and only one win, conceding 10 goals during that span.
This game does not mean anything for them, and we are sure that they are going to have the same approach.

Prediction
Both sides are awful at this moment, and their performances do not look very well. But the motive is much bigger among the home team players as they have to win this one in order to preserve their Primera status. So we're backing up them in this match. Real Betis, as we told already secured themselves, and they are not very interested in making some other results.
Final Outcome: Leganes to Win
