Betis vs Valencia Prediction & Betting tips
It’s been eleven years since Valencia CF last scored in the Copa del Rey final to secure the seventh and most recent Spanish Cup overall victory over Getafe in Madrid 3-1. Three years earlier, Betis Sevilla scored the most recent big coup: 2-1 after extra time against Osasuna – also in Madrid and also in the now demolished Estadio Vicente Calderón. Since then, both teams have never made it back to the final, which will inevitably change this year. In the return match, the final opponent of either defending champion Barcelona or Real Madrid is determined, which face each other in the other semi-finals. That would be a very special situation for the Verdiblancos, as the final on 25 May 2019 will take place at the Estadio Benito Villamarín, the home of Betis Sevilla.
First, however, the hurdle Valencia CF must be taken, for which Betis Sevilla against Valencia according to quotas is basically in the outsider role – at least as far as the question of who qualifies after playoff and return for the final. In this first clash between Betis Sevilla and Valencia the prognosis for a home victory of the Verdiblancos is still quite playable.
Betis Seville:
For some displeasure in the camp of the fans had provided in the winter transfer window, the loan from the 22-year-old striker jewel Antonio Sanabria, who played far too rarely under coach Quique Setién. The lending of PSG striker Jesé was also critical of many, while Diego Lainez, who came from Mexico for 14 million euros, still has to prove that he is worth this huge investment. All these transfer activities had come into the background no later than the weekend. In the 1-0 home win over Atlético Madrid, the Verderones finally managed a really big coup, could be defended by the sixth place in the table and the maximum momentum for the cup fight against Valencia has been established.
So the whole environment of the Lobos seems to be on the final, which would then take place in their own stadium. The Estadio Benito Villamarín holds over 60,000 spectators, but the Andalusians are almost never sold out. Previous attendance record in the current season 2018/19: 54,187 in the 1: 2 against Real Madrid on 13 January. The home win over Atlético saw on Sunday 50,864 spectators. All the greater is the hope of the two-time Copa del Rey winner to be able to get the “sold out” sign on Thursday evening, which alone would be a house number, because only 700 away fans from Valencia are expected. Although Valencianistes are the favorites overall, Betis Sevilla versus Valencia are likely to be a factor in helping fans predict the first leg.
Valencia:
The story of Valencia CF in the 2018/19 season is far from finished. The bats were in the first place because of the high number of draw long time even in the relegation battle and occupied in the meantime even a direct relegation zone, so there was at seven of nine possible points from the last three games finally back to the top half of the table. In position eight, Los Che have already arrived again. Sevilla FC, currently fourth, have narrowed to six points. The latest highlight: A 2-2 away at FC Barcelona.
The recent upturn is mainly due to the fact that Valencia finally scores again, which had haunted much of the season so far. Also, because players like Michy Batshuayi, whose loan has now even ended prematurely, are in no way beaten, while neither Kévin Gameiro nor Goncalo Guedes could even begin to build on the scores of their previous stations. Can Rubén Sobrino – the latest addition to Deportivo Alavés’ s help? At least the Els Taronges are on the way up again. Between Betis Sevilla and Valencia, the odds of bookmakers also beat towards the finals of the seven-time Copa del Rey winner.
