Valencia vs Betis Prediction & Betting Tips (20 April)

Direct duel in Mestalla for the European places because they face a very solid Valencia that has greatly improved its defensive numbers and a Betis that has just broken a negative streak. Valencia is seventh. Baraja continues to take advantage of a limited squad and his team has achieved seven points from the last nine in dispute, making a lot of profit from their goals since they have just won by the minimum in both Granada 0-1 and Pamplona 0-1. Valencia has also only conceded a total of one goal in the last five games.

Betis is eighth and is two points behind Valencia's Conference League position. Betis had suffered four consecutive defeats but last day they returned to the path of victory by beating Celta at the Benito Villamarín.

Seriously injured following contact with Aurélien Tchouaméni, Mouctar Diakhaby (ex-Lyon) will be absent until the end of the season. Note also the injury of captain José Gaya and that of Ukrainian striker Yaremchuk (3 goals in La Liga this season), both absent for this game. However, the pivotal midfield duo composed of Guerra and Pepelu (4 goals each in the league) as well as the leading striker, Hugo Duro (12 goals in the league) will be in the mix. Monday evening, in Osasuna, it was Andre Almeida who scored the only goal of the match, his 2nd in 2 matches.

On the Real Bétis side, the Spaniards Bartra and Marc Roca will be missing (injured) while the former Osasuna striker who arrived this winter, Chimy Avila, will return from suspension. For the rest, the group will be practically complete, including the formidable Isco (6 goals, 4 assists), decisive passer on Nabil Fékir's victorious goal against Vigo. Scorer Willian José (10 goals, 3 assists) will also be present.
