Football Bet of the Day: Betis to put a dent in Leganes

Real Betis should at least get a goal to applaud on Monday night

"Since a 1-0 defeat at Atletico Madrid in January, Real Betis have scored in eight consecutive La Liga away games"

Back Both Teams to Score @ 2.265/4 in Leganes v Real Betis

Relegation-threatened Leganes are odds-on favourites to win at home to Real Betis tonight, but Tobias Gourlay fancies the visitors to at least give their hosts a scare

A couple of early goals for Tondela took the wind out of Kev's sails and the Vitoria out of Setubal. It finished 2-1 to the hosts, but our man finally gets to put his feet up after a marathon shift.

We begin where Kev signed off, on the Iberian peninsula. Since a 1-0 defeat at Atletico Madrid in January, Real Betis have scored in eight consecutive La Liga away games. In seven of those eight games, there were goals at both ends.

Tonight, Victor Sanchez's men visit relegation-threatened Leganes, who are without their captain and defensive lynchpin, Martin Mantovani, through suspension.

The home side are 1.674/6 favourites, despite losing five of their last six at home and away. Their only win - and clean sheet - came at home to Las Palmas, the league's second-worst travellers. Betis are better than that and we fancy to make at least a spot of trouble for their hosts this evening.
