Real Betis vs Valencia: LaLiga Matchday 38 Preview
In the final matchday of LaLiga, Real Betis will face off against Valencia at the Estadio Benito Villamarín in a fixture that promises plenty of intrigue. Both teams have had their fair share of challenges and achievements this season, and they’ll both be eager to end their campaigns on a high note.
Real Betis, for the first time in their history, have reached the final of the UEFA Conference League and will face the Premier League giants, Chelsea. Pellegrini's men have had a strong season in LaLiga, winning 16 of their 37 games, drawing 11, and losing 10, with 59 points on the board. Sitting in 6th place, Betis have already secured a spot in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League for next season. However, despite their solid campaign, their form has faltered recently with a few dropped points, and Pellegrini will likely rotate his squad to keep key players fresh ahead of their European final.
Valencia, meanwhile, started the season in a relegation battle, but since the appointment of Carlos Corberán, they have turned their fortunes around. In their 37 games so far, they have won 11, drawn 12, and lost 14, accumulating 45 points. They currently sit in 12th place, but with a win, they could still finish in the top 10 if other results go their way. Although they’ve suffered back-to-back defeats in their last league games, the team remains confident and will be eager to earn a positive result away from home to end the season.
With both teams having their own objectives and aspirations, this clash promises to be a mouthwatering contest as they fight for the final points of the season.
