Real Betis vs Valencia Predictions

• Real Betis are unbeaten at home this season, including a 1-0 win over seventh-placed Rayo Vallecano
• Valencia have lost 10 of their 15 La Liga away games in 2023 and failed to score in eight
• Real Betis have won two and drawn two of their last four home league games against Valencia

Betis can get back on course against Los Che

A clash of two inconsistent clubs looking to break into the top six takes place at Estadio Benito Villamarin on Sunday when Real Betis host Valencia.

Although prone to conceding too many goals on the road, the Verdiblancos have been solid in front of their own fans this season, keeping two clean sheets with one win and two draws.

Things were going well until a 5-0 defeat to Barcelona knocked Manuel Pellegrini’s men off course, since when they have lost to Rangers and drawn against Cadiz and Granada.

Goals may be scarce at Benito Villamarin

A visit from an equally frustrating side like Valencia could be just what they need as Los Che have beaten Betis only once in the last seven meetings and taken only two points from their last four trips to Seville.

Ruben Baraja’s side have lost away to Alaves and drawn at Almería this season while they will arrive off the back of a 1-0 loss at home to Real Sociedad.

The fact that they could not score against an opponent that has conceded 10 goals already this term suggests they may face similar problems against Betis. Taking the hosts to win to nil is a worthwhile risk in the circumstances with a 1-0 victory recommended due to the hosts having scored multiple home goals in only two of their last 11 at home.
