Valencia vs Real Betis Match Analysis & Prediction
20/04/2024 7:30 pm
Estadio de Mestalla will play host to an intriguing match in La Liga on Saturday, as Valencia play host to Real Betis with both sides in the battle for a European finish in Spain’s top flight.
The hosts are currently in seventh in the La Liga standings, three points behind sixth-placed Real Sociedad, while Betis are eighth, two points from their opponents this weekend.
Valencia have been much-improved this season, with a solid campaign to date seeing them pick up 47 points from their 31 matches, which is currently enough for seventh position in the table.
As it stands, Ruben Baraja’s side would qualify for the Europa Conference League playoff round, but they are just three points behind sixth-placed Real Sociedad, who are occupying a Europa League spot in the table.
Los Che will enter this contest off the back of successive away victories over Granada and Osasuna, while they have actually won three of their last five in the league, suffering just one defeat in the process.
Valencia have been solid at home this season, picking up 29 points from 15 matches, and they will be hosting a Real Betis side that have just three away league wins to their name in 2023-24.
Real Betis will also enter this contest off the back of a win, having beaten struggling Celta Vigo 2-1 last time out, with the result ending a four-game losing run in La Liga.
The Green and Whites have picked up 45 points from their 31 league matches this season, which has left them in eighth position.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side finished sixth in La Liga last season, and they have proven difficult to beat this term, losing just eight times, but too many draws (12) have cost them a spot higher up the division.
Valencia vs. Real Betis Head to head
In the 56 previous meetings between these two teams, Valencia have claimed 28 victories while Real Betis have won 16, and they have drawn in 12. Betis have scored 63 goals and conceded 88 in the process.
