Valencia vs Real Betis Predictions

• Only one of Valencia’s last nine home fixtures have included three or more goals
• Real Betis have failed to net in three of their last five games
• There have been two goals or fewer in four of Betis’ last five away matches

Valencia gunning for revenge

Valencia’s season came to an abrupt conclusion when they lost the Copa del Rey final against Real Betis a handful of weeks ago, as they have no real prospect of qualifying for European football.

José Bordalás’ side are on a dreadful run, without a win in seven games, with goals very much coming at a premium as they have netted just five times in their last nine outings.

Only one of those nine fixtures has contained three or more goals, so they are not shipping too many at the other end, but they have netted more than once just twice in the last ten at the Mestalla.

Can Betis end awful form?

It is not just Valencia who head into this game completely out of nick, as Real Betis haven’t won any of their last five over 90 minutes, failing to even score in three of those games.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side are still basking in the glory of that Copa del Rey win, but have now dropped out of the Champions League places in La Liga, while only three of their last 10 outings have contained three or more goals.

They remain solid on the road though, losing just once in 13 outings, while only one of the last five has contained more than two goals – a 2-1 win at struggling Cadiz.

I think this will be a low scoring fair, so predict there will be under three goals in the game, selecting 1-1 as a correct score prediction.
