Valencia vs Betis prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-11-08 17:30.
[p]Valencia manager Carlos Corberán is reportedly fighting for his job, with this home game against Real Betis potentially his last chance to save himself from an international break sacking. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Midweek reports emerged from Spain suggesting that Corberán has lost the support of the Valencia dressing room after a six-game winless La Liga run (D2, L4) that has them in contention for their first relegation since the 1980s. They’re still two points ahead of their torrid 11-game start to last season, shortly before Corberán arrived from West Bromwich Albion to save their top-flight status, but three consecutive games without scoring have left fans wondering where their next win is coming from. The Mestalla, where their only two La Liga wins have been earned (3-0 v Getafe and 2-0 v Athletic), appears to be the most likely place. [/p]
[p]Real Betis kept in touch with the top four with a commanding 3-0 victory over Mallorca last weekend, finishing the round as one of a handful of clubs to have lost two or fewer games this La Liga season (W5, D4). They even boast the only unbeaten away record of the division (W1, D4), albeit without a clean sheet on the road, and with all five of those opponents ranked higher than Valencia, they should be confident heading into this clash. That includes 2-2 draws at both Levante and Villarreal, which has them on a four-game undefeated sequence when visiting teams in the Valencian Community (W1, D3). [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Valencia alternated between victory and defeat in their last four La Liga games at home to Betis, which may not be good news since they won last season’s matchup 4-2. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Only Real Oviedo (seven) had been held scoreless more times than Valencia (five) in the first 11 rounds. [/p]
[p]Valencia lost all five La Liga games this season in which they conceded the first goal.[/p]
[p]Betis are on their longest scoring streak in La Liga away games (14) in club history. [/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Valencia need a return to form from Hugo Duro, who has won six of his last seven competitive goalscoring appearances (D1) – he scored in second-half stoppage time in their two La Liga wins this term. Abde Ezzalzouli has struck in each of Betis’ three consecutive wins across all competitions, with all five of his scoring appearances this season ending in victory. [/p]
[p]Valencia’s Mouctar Diakhaby and Largie Ramazani returned to training during the week, but Dimitri Foulquier remains unavailable. Betis pair Ricardo Rodriguez and Pau López will be assessed closer to matchday. [/p]
