Ten-Point Gap Between Them in La Liga

While Real Betis is aiming for the La Liga top four, Real Valladolid is trying to avoid falling into the relegation zone. That explains why Betis comes in as the betting online favorite at -160. On the other hand, Real Valladolid hasn’t lost in its last three games, making this match a little harder to bet.

Let’s check the latest La Liga news, stats, injury reports, and La Liga lines for Real Betis vs Real Valladolid. We’ve got plenty of La Liga picks for you to consider.

Betis: Good News

Last Saturday, Betis returned to the winning column by defeating Almeria 3-2, just like we predicted. Rodrigo Sanchez, Sergio Canales and Andres Guardado were the scorers.

Betis finished the match with 11 players, unlike its previous two games, in which William Carvalho and Luiz Ramos were sent off. Carvalho will be available to face Real Valladolid, but Ramos won’t.

Returning home isn’t great news for Betis. The club has failed to win any of its last five matches at Benito Villamarin, but it scored in nine of its previous 10 home games and finished with a clean sheet four times. If it wants to remain in the race for a spot in the UEFA Champions League, it must start winning at home and do it regularly. Plus, losing could make it fall out of the top eight.

Regarding the Las Vegas odds, Betis offers a -160 price to win straight up.

Real Valladolid: Turning Things Around

After losing 3-0 to Atletico Madrid three weeks ago, Real Valladolid is 2-1-0. It defeated Valencia 1-0, pulled off a huge stunner by defeating Real Sociedad 1-0 on the road, and, most recently, drew 0-0 to Osasuna, a team that only lost one of its last six games.

Real Valladolid is 2-1-7 when playing on the road. Defeating third-place Real Sociedad on Feb. 5 allowed it to regain a lot of confidence, but not enough to make it the soccer betting favorite for the match.

Individually, you should keep an eye on Sergio Leon, the team’s top scorer with five goals. If the visitors rely on the counterattack, Leon will play as the lone striker. He’s 34, meaning he’s very experienced and used to different schemes.

No matter what happens, Valladolid won’t fall into the relegation zone, which lowers the pressure a bit. Nevertheless, losing could reduce the gap between it and 18th place to only one point.

Betis vs Real Valladolid Head-to-Head

  • Previous Matches: 84
  • Betis Victories: 34 (115 goals)
  • Real Valladolid Victories: 26 (85 goals)
  • Draws: 24

The first meeting between these two was kind of boring. It ended in a 0-0 draw, the referee only showed two yellow cards and one red, and Real Valladolid took three shots on target while Betis took one.

That wasn’t a big shocker since the total has gone under in eight of their last 10 meetings.
