Real Betis vs Valencia Preview and Team News

Real Betis Team News

Few expected Real Betis to land a spot in a European final this season, but here they are, facing Chelsea in the Conference League final next week. The club has traditionally preferred to focus on La Liga instead of European competitions, but this season has seen the opposite.

Real Betis have been winless in four matches, which includes the 2-2 draw against Fiorentina in the Conference League semifinals. 

The results in La Liga have been similar, with Real Betis conceding draws to Osasuna (1-1) and Rayo Vallecano (2-2). These two matches have marked the difference between qualifying for the Champions League and the Europa League, though fans will be happy with either of the competitions.

Real Betis were thrashed by Atlético de Madrid in Sevilla (4-1), despite a goal from Pablo Fornals. One of the reasons was that coach Manuel Pellegrini rotated the squad, meaning that stars like Isco, Antony, and Cucho Hernández only featured in the second half.

Ezequiel Ávila, Marc Roca, Youssouf Sabaly, Hector Bellerín, and Diego Llorente will be sidelined through injuries, while Francisco Vieites is awaiting medical clearance.

Valencia Team News

Valencia seemed to be on a good run until May 10th, with the team potentially fighting for European places. 

This happened under the leadership of Carlos Corberán, whose man-management skills and straightforward strategy resonated with a majority of the squad. However, Valencia will have to wait for their return in Europe after conceding two defeats in their last two matches.

The team was caught off-guard by 17th-placed Deportivo Alavés (1-0), despite dominating possession. However, Valencia struggled to create chances evidenced by their 0.61 xG. Alavés, on the other hand, were not much more efficient, but a penalty at the end of the second half decided the match. 

Valencia conceded a winner in the second half as well in their previous match, with Álex Berenguer scoring for Athletic Club. Though both teams had their chances, it cannot be said that either team “dominated” the scene. The team currently sits in 12th place with 45 points.

Thierry Correia will be sidelined, while Dimitri Foulquier and Diego López will be sidelined through injuries.

Valencia Predicted line-up vs Real Betis

Valencia Predicted line-up vs Real Betis (4-4-2): Dimitrievski; Gayà, Tárrega, Diakhaby, Mosquera; Almeida, Guerra, Barrenechea, Rioja; Duro, Mir.

Real Betis vs Valencia Prediction

• Prediction: Real Betis to win 
• Odds: 2.02 (22Bet)
• Score Prediction: Real Betis 2-1 Valencia

Real Betis will end up in 6th place regardless of what happens this weekend, but a victory is needed to boost the players’ morale ahead of the Conference League final against Chelsea. 

Valencia’s position may be more important on paper, but their lack of offensive creativity is likely to cost them the game.  

Real Betis vs Valencia Betting Tip

• Pick: Isco to score
• Odds: 3.3 (22Bet)

Although Antony has been praised as the most important player of the season, it is Isco who keeps the team together in the attack. His role as a mediapunta (attacking midfielder) allows him to connect midfield to attack, while also being tasked with controlling the tempo of the team’s counter-attacks.
