Valencia form and stats

Valencia have played 7 La Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Valencia, their manager Gattuso and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Valencia drew their last game, 1-1 away at Real Sociedad (placed 6th). Midfield player Almeida got a match rating of 7.61 in that game, the max score being 10. Almeida hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 52 successful passes (of 59 total).

Preceding that match was a defeat to Barcelona (0-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Valencia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Valencia as a small favourite), we find 5 games. Valencia has won 4 of these, drawn 0 and lost 1.

Sports bettors, take note: A review of the 10 most recent league games reveals that 8 of them had goals from both sides.

A decent goal production from Valencia in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 7 league matches.

Real Betis form and stats

2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Real Betis playing as the away team in the La Liga this season.

Real Betis delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Sevilla (placed 17th) in their previous match. Defender González was the best team player with a rating of 7.7. González won 5 of 6 duels.

A home win as predicted against HJK ahead of that, in the Europa League. So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Real Betis playing away and similar expectations, we found 8 relevant matches. Results were 3 Real Betis wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Betis as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. Real Betis are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 4 times in 6 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
