The Matchday 33 clash in La Liga between Betis and Valladolid will take place on April 24 at the Benito Villamarín Stadium in Seville. Betis vs. Valladolid: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Betis
The team from Seville had a challenging start to the month. They first drew away against Barcelona (1-1) and then lost at home to Villarreal (1-2). However, in the last round, Manuel Pellegrini's men ended their brief winless streak with a comfortable 3-1 victory away to Girona. The club remains in sixth place in the standings, seven points clear of their nearest rival. They are now just one point behind Villarreal, who are fifth in the Champions League zone.
- Betis have won 7 of their last 9 La Liga matches.
- Both teams scored in the club's last five La Liga games.
- At least three goals have been scored in 9 of Betis's last 11 La Liga matches.
Predicted lineup for Betis (4-3-3)
Adrian Castillo – Nathan, Romain Perraud, Marc Bartra, Aitor Ruibal – Isco, Joao Cardoso, Pablo Fornals – Abde Ezzalzouli, Antony Matheus, Cucho Hernandez.
Valladolid
Álvaro Rubio's side continues to anchor the standings. If they do not win this round, they will be the first team in La Liga to be relegated to the Segunda. Valladolid comes into this match with a six-game losing streak in the league. They have not tasted victory in La Liga in 13 matches (1 draw and 12 losses). Additionally, they have conceded the most goals in La Liga – 76.

Betis vs. Valladolid: Match Prediction
The Seville side is in excellent form, having lost only to Villarreal in their last nine league matches. Manuel Pellegrini's men are in a direct battle with Villarreal for fifth place, which this season grants a spot in the Champions League. Given the gap with the Valencians, the Seville side cannot afford to drop points, especially against lower-ranked opponents.
Valladolid is on the brink of relegation to the Segunda. The club has long accepted that staying in La Liga is unlikely, as evident in their last 13 league matches, where they suffered 12 defeats. During this series, Valladolid conceded at least two goals in 10 matches. I believe that the Seville side will comfortably handle the weakest team in La Liga, winning by at least a two-goal margin.
My prediction – Betis with a handicap of (-1.5)
