Real Betis vs Valencia Prediction and Betting Tips

Real Betis and Valencia have the chance to get their hands on some silverware this season when they meet in the Copa Del Rey final on Saturday. Betis have generally fared better than their opponents this term and having claimed the upper hand in recent meetings, they will be confident of coming out on top.

Real Betis are in the Copa Del Rey final thanks to a 3-2 aggregate victory over Rayo Vallecano in the last four. They earned a 2-1 victory in the first leg before returning home for a 1-1 draw in the return fixture.

It has been an impressive campaign for Real Betis this season, reaching the Copa Del Rey final and also in the hunt for a top four finish. They have stumbled lately though, crashing out of the Europa League and dropping out of the top four in La Liga.

Real Betis also did not have the best warm up for Saturday’s final as they were beaten 1-0 by Elche in La Liga last time out.

Valencia overcame Athletic Bilbao 2-1 on aggregate to book their place in the Copa Del Rey final. After being held to a 1-1 draw in Bilbao in the first leg, they claimed a 1-0 victory in the return fixture with Goncalo Guedes getting the goal.

Reaching the Copa Del Rey final has put some gloss on a relatively unremarkable La Liga campaign for Valencia. Jose Bordalas’ men have been nowhere close to the top sides this season and look set for a mid-table finish.

Valencia have not had the best build-up to Saturday’s final and are winless in their last four matches. They have lost the last two matches in that run, falling 2-1 at home to Osasuna before suffering a 2-0 defeat to Villarreal on Tuesday.

Real Betis have the upper hand among the bookies and are priced at 13/12 by SBK to claim the win. A victory for Valencia is valued at 5/2 by William Hill while bet365 is offering odds of 5/2 for a draw.
