Form and Team News
Leganés, currently 18th in the table, are in a rough patch, winning just one of their last eight matches. Their recent 2-1 loss to Celta Vigo highlights their defensive vulnerabilities.

While Johnny Cardoso is suspended and William Carvalho and Giovani Lo Celso remain injured, the return of Chimy Ávila bolsters their attacking options. Betis' recent away form is also exceptional, with four wins and three clean sheets in their last five away games.
