Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Real Betis will be aiming to recover from a 2-0 loss to Real Madrid when they face Leganes in the La Liga round 5. Los Beticos are eyeing their first win of the season and it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to grab one. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, while all Juanmi Jimenez, Nobel Mendy, Cedric Bakambu, and Isco remain in the recovery room.
The capital club, on the other hand, have been producing promising displays at the start of the season, but given their difficulties on the road, we believe that punters worldwide can find value in betting on the home side. Peru midfielder Renato Tapia has overcome his injury, while there are no other selection worries in the away team. In their last meeting at Estadio Benito Villamarin Real Betis defeated Leganes 2-1.
Highlighted Player (William Carvalho):
Angola-born defensive midfielder William Carvalho has overseen a dramatic rise in his stock over the past few seasons at Sporting. William Carvalho is coming from a proper football family since his father and grandfather were also footballers, but his way to the top has had a somewhat dramatic twist to it.
Carvalho moved to Portugal as a child and first started playing football in the streets before he was picked up by Recreativos Desportivos de Algueriao. William Carvalho joined the Sporting football academy at the age of 13 The 24-year-old Portugal star player has spent two years on loan at Fatima and Cercle Brugge, before he got the chance to cement his place in the starting line-up for Portuguese giants.
William Carvalho came through all youth ranks with the Portugal national team, while he was given his senior debut in 2013. Carvalho played an important role in his country’s maiden European Championship title in France over the summer.
Highlighted Team (Leganes):
Leganes are a Spanish football club that have mostly been playing in lower leagues. Los Pepineros play their home games at Batarque (Madrid) and the capacity of the stadium is just 8,138. Leganes secured their promotion to the Spanish La Liga for the first time ever in 2016 and, no doubt, that is considered the club’s biggest success.
Leganes’ bitterest rivals are fellow capital club Getafe and there have always been fireworks when the two teams take on each other in the South Madrid derby.
The colour of the team’s home kit is white and blue, whilst their away kits are green. The likes of Pierre Webo, Samuel Eto’o, Ivan Zarandona, Jose Chamot, Catanha, Ruben Falcon, Jordi Lardin and Pedro Lago are famous players who were part of the Batarque outfit in the past. Lady Maria Victoria Pavon is the first female president in the history of the club and she has been in charge of the club since 2009.
