VALENCIA VS BETIS PREVIEW & PREDICTION
Marcelino’s boys start as favorites because of their greater collective and individual hierarchy, being able to handle the ball from the initial stage. For this reason and even when the process is opened by the proposal of the visit, we believe that the best alternative to bet is the triumph of the premises. Remember that the “verdiblancos” are not solid in defense, costing them a lot to score well and not leave spaces when they act as visitors.
The campaign led by Marcellin has been positive, despite having alternated good and bad results from December onwards. These days, they have 50 points, their goal being to stay in Champions League places. They come to equalize 1-1 against Athletic Bilbao, leaving behind a streak of 3 consecutive victories. It is expected that the style of the squad will remain dapper and effective from midfield forward.
As a local in Mestalla, Valencia has reaped more than positive results after winning 9 matches, matching another 2 and losing the remaining 2 that it disputed (second best local of the competition). He has scored 27 goals and yielded 12 on his fence, proving to be balanced and effective in this condition. It comes from defeating Girona 2-1, stumbling 1-4 against Real Madrid, beating 3-1 Levante and surpassing Real Sociedad 2-1.
Betis :
It is no secret to anyone that the campaign of the “verdiblancos” is highly irregular in numbers and performance. They come to equal 0-0 against Real Sociedad at home, letting 2 valuable points escape in their struggle to sneak into the next Europa League. Of course, in spite of everything, they can achieve good results thanks to the stylish and offensive style of their players. He has won 3 of his last 5 presentations.
Away from Benito Villamarín, Betis has registered several markers after winning 5 matches, matching another and losing the remaining 6 that played in this condition (18 goals scored and 22 received in his goal). He has won 4 of his last 5 starts, after winning 0-2 against Málaga, 3-5 against Sevilla in the Andalusian classic, 0-1 against Deportivo and 0-2 against Levante. The only stumbling block he had was against Celta in Balaídos (3-2).
PREDICTION: Valencia to win @ 1.45
