PREVIEW
Valencia need to sort their defence out, because they have conceded 4 in each of their last 2 games, both resulting in losses. Espanyol hammered them 4-0 in the league, and then they lost 4-2 away at Atletico Madrid. Maybe things will be better back at home, but it does mean Betis have a great chance at making this a contest.
Valencia have scored in their last 13 league meetings against Real Betis, who have not won here in 17 trips. The reverse fixture did end 2-1 to Betis, who have scored in their last 6 games. Betis are actually on a run of 6 league games without defeat, and they have a great chance of getting closer to a place in Europe, as they 4 points shy of 6th place in the league.
Valencia, as I said, have trouble keeping them out, and it's resulted in them now winning just 1 of their last 6 league games, losing 3. At home, things are no better, with Valencia winning just 1 of their last 5 home matches in La Liga. That came against Rayo Vallecano, and they did concede in that 4-1 triumph.
Betis have Ruben Castro as the man in form, as he has now scored in 5 of Real Betis' last 6 league games, and when the visitors score, it is likely he will be involved in some way or another. You can get a very tasty 3.60 at Coral on him to net at any time.
If you fancy taking a player from Valencia to score, look no further than Roberto Soldado, who should get to start ahead of Jonas, as the side try and solidify 3rd place. There can be no taking it easy here as Malaga are just 1 point behind them. Anyway, Soldado to score at any time can be had for a rather large looking 2.10, again, at Coral.
BETTING VERDICT
Best to keep it simple for this one. Take both teams to score at Ladbrokes, who have stuck their necks out with a big price.
