Comments, predictions Real Betis vs Valencia: Antony's late goal

Latest Real Betis vs Valencia team information

Betis will be without four injured players: Hector Bellerin, Diego Llorente, Marc Roca and Chimy Avila.

Besides, the possibility of Youssouf Sabaly, Johnny Cardoso and Francisco Vieites playing is still open.

Coach Pellegrini is likely to let some key players like Isco and Antony rest to prepare for the Conference League final against Chelsea next week.

William Carvalho and Cucho Hernandez are likely to start as they are ineligible to play in the Conference League.

For the visitors, they continue to be without defender Thierry Correia due to a long-term injury, while Diego Lopez will have to be assessed after suffering a hamstring problem last weekend.

Dimitri Foulquier is also doubtful of playing as he has not fully recovered after missing the last two matches due to illness.

Goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili is expected to play his final game for Valencia before officially joining Premier League champions Liverpool in the summer transfer window.

Ivan Jaime could start if Lopez fails to recover in time, while Hugo Duro is likely to return to the starting line-up in search of his 12th La Liga goal of the season.

Latest Real Betis vs Valencia football review

Betis have officially lost their chance of qualifying for the Champions League after picking up just two points from their last three La Liga games.

Manuel Pellegrini's side drew with Osasuna and Rayo Vallecano, before suffering a heavy 1-4 defeat to Atletico Madrid, thereby extinguishing their hopes of a top-five finish.

However, Betis can still be satisfied with having secured a top-six finish for the fourth time in the last five seasons, thereby securing a place in the Europa League for the 2025-26 season.

However, ahead of them is not the Europa League but next Wednesday's Conference League final against Chelsea in Poland, where Betis are dreaming of a first European title in their history.

The fact that Betis are in the final has seen their final La Liga game moved to Friday night, giving them an extra 48 hours to prepare for their Premier League opponents. The move has been met with backlash from Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, who said he was “not happy” with the change.

Betis have a chance to build momentum ahead of the clash in Poland, having won three of their last five La Liga meetings with Valencia (D2), including a 3-0 win last season at the Benito Villamarin.

Valencia have been officially eliminated from the race for a European Cup ticket after two consecutive defeats that have left them with no chance of finishing in the top 8.

Their 10-match unbeaten run was ended by a 1-0 defeat to Alaves, and was followed by a defeat by the same scoreline to Athletic Bilbao on Sunday, with Gorka Guruzeta scoring the only goal in the second half.

However, these two results do not overshadow the impressive achievements of coach Carlos Corberan since he took over the team at the beginning of 2025, helping a team that was once four points from safety to its current 12th position.

After 37 rounds, Valencia has 45 points, just one point behind Real Sociedad and two points behind Mallorca, so they still have a chance to finish in the top 10 for the third time in the last four seasons.

Los Che are aiming to complete a double over Betis in La Liga this season, after they beat their opponents 4-2 in the first leg in November, with Hugo Duro scoring twice and Cesar Tarrega and Diego Lopez on target.

However, if Valencia are to repeat that, they will have to win at the Benito Villamarin for the first time since a 2-1 win in April 2019.
