Leganés Battles Betis in Crucial LaLiga Match

LEGANÉS, Spain — CD Leganés faces Real Betis on March 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM local time in a critical matchup for both clubs in LaLiga EA Sports. The home team is fighting to avoid relegation, while the visitors are vying for a European competition spot.

“We know the importance of this match for our survival,” Leganés coach Borja Jiménez said. “We’ll need to play our best to get a positive result.”

Real Betis, under the guidance of manager Manuel Pellegrini, aims to capitalize on their recent success.
