Valencia vs Real Betis Preview
The La Liga fixture of Valencia vs Real Betis promises to be a marquee match for both teams in their quest for European football for next season. Valencia is currently standing in the 8th spot in the 2023-2024 La Liga table with 44 points to their name. They are currently six points behind the sixth place Real Sociedad, who currently dons the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying spot with 50 points to their tally.
However, Valencia would first take on Osasuna in an away-from-home fixture on Monday, April 15 before they go on to play against Real Betis at home on the following Saturday. If they manage to grab positive results in both these outings, their charge for a potential European spot might be back on track.
On the other hand, Real Betis leads Valencia by a single point with 45 points to their name so far. However, the visitors have played a game more than Valencia. So the clash on Saturday would be an important one for them in their race for Europe as well. If they manage to grind out a positive result against Valencia, they will land a certain breathing space in terms of points on their opposition for the time being.
