Real Betis – Valencia, Picks and Tips
"The 'Albirroja' broke a run of five consecutive unbeaten LaLiga games with their unexpected midweek 1-0 defeat against Elche. Previously, Betis Sevilla had beaten Bilbao (1-0), Osasuna (4-1) and Cadiz (2-1) respectively and had drawn their duels against Celta Vigo and Real Sociedad (each time 0-0). Manuel Pellegrini's boys are in fifth place in the league and still have a chance of a UEFA Champions League place. In the Copa del Rey, Betis reached the last round after beating CFI Alicante (4-0), CF Talavera (4-2), Valladolid (3-0), Sevilla (2-1), Sociedad (4-0) and Vallecano (3-2 overall).
"The 'Bats' are coming off a 2-0 league loss to Champions League semi-finalists Villarreal. It was also the fourth consecutive match without success for Jose Bordalas' pupils, after draws against Cadiz (0-0) and Vallecano (1-1), and the unexpected defeat at the Mestalla vs Osasuna (1-2). After 33 games played in the Primera Division, Valencia are mid-table in 10th place. There are no chances to climb into the European cup zone. However, Valencia can reach the UEFA Europa League groups with a win on Saturday night. The Mestalla club reached the Copa del Rey final after beating Utrillas (3-0), Arenteiro (3-1), Cartagena (2-1), Baleares (1-0), Cadiz (2-1) and Athletic Bilbao (2-1 overall).
