Valencia vs Real Betis Preview

Valencia have endured a season of struggle under Marcelino, but they remain incredibly difficult to beat. They easily swept aside Celtic in the Europa League, and have been defeated in La Liga just once since December 1st. The momentum is also with them, following a remarkable comeback from 2-0 down at Estadio Benito Villamarin. It looked done and dusted in the first leg before two late goals gave Los Che renewed hope, and they should give them the edge psychologically here. These two sides drew 0-0 earlier in the campaign here, and Betis got back to winning ways at the weekend with a 2-0 victory over Valladolid. They have lost three of their last four games on their travels, and they may find the hosts tough to breach on their own patch. Betis are a very entertaining side to watch this season, but they’ve failed to register on six occasions on the road this season, and they’re coming up against one of the countries best defences. Valencia should nick this and qualify for the final. They are the first of our Valencia vs Real Betis betting predictions tonight.

 

Total Goals Prediction

The first leg was hugely entertaining, and a great spectacle for the neutral. However, the second meeting may not be as thrilling. Valencia have conceded just eight of their 21 goals at the Mestalla and they have kept three consecutive clean sheets in a row here. Real Betis are not as prolific on the road, and with plenty at stake, it could be cagey. The hosts have also only conceded one goals in this competition in their three home games in the Copa Del Rey. Two of the last five meetings between these sides have ended goalless, and Betis have not scored in their last two visits to the Mestalla. A low-scoring game awaits on Thursday night, and it’s the value pick. Under 2.5 Goals is the second of our Valencia vs Real Betis predictions.

 

Anytime Goalscorer Prediction

Both Rodrigo and Kevin Gameiro have been scoring frequently throughout the last few weeks for Valencia. They’ve been ably assisted by Dennis Cheryshev, who is the man for the big occasion. The Russia stepped up to the plate at the 2018 World Cup, and he also netted in the Europa League two weeks ago. He’s also netted twice at the Mestalla in recent weeks, and he’s on a good run of form. He’s lively and constantly buzzes around and that could lead to plenty of chances. Cheryshev to score anytime is the third of our Valencia vs Real Betis predictions.
