Real Betis vs Valencia predictions: Goals at both ends
Key stats
- Both teams were on the scoresheet in five of Betis’ last six encounters with Valencia.
- Four of both teams’ last six respective matches produced at least five cards.
- Valencia are currently on a three-game winning run.
Correct score prediction: Real Betis 2-1 Valencia
To be fair, Valencia have strung together a three-game winning streak and are unbeaten in their last four matches. However, they have been one of La Liga's worst travellers this season, winning only one of their 10 league games (D3, L6).
On the other hand, Real Betis have won four consecutive home games across all competitions. They should be able to secure all three points at home.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Valencia up against it
- HOME: 4/5 (1.80) – 55.6%
- DRAW: 13/5 (3.60) – 27.8%
- AWAY: 10/3 (4.33) – 23.1%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Valencia extended their winning run to three games with a hard-fought 3-2 win over Espanyol last weekend. Los Che have been a tough team to beat, losing only twice in their last 13 games across all competitions.
On the other hand, Real Betis returned to winning ways with a 2-1 victory over Feyenoord in the UEFA Europa League earlier this week. They have now won four consecutive home games, scoring multiple goals in each victory.
As things stand, Real Betis and Valencia are sixth and 15th in La Liga, respectively.
Ahead of this skirmish, Real Betis are the expected winners at 4/5 (1.80). Teams with these odds usually have a 55.6% probability of winning.
