Valencia – Betis Predictions and Preview

• As the region continues to recover from the devastating floods of last month, Valencia FC is hoping to bring a smile to their supporters’faces when they finally return to action. Due to the extreme weather conditions in the area, two league matches were postponed, meaning that Los Ches haven’t played since late October, when they drew 1-1 at Getafe.
• With so many games behind them and a disappointing start to the season, Rubén Baraja’s team is coming out of their enforced break at the bottom of the La Liga table. After a measly return of seven points from 11 matches (W1, D4, L6), the pressure on Baraja had been mounting amidst an active five-match winless run (D3, L2). However, their only victory so far this season came before that on home soil at the Mestalla, beating Girona 2-0 in September.
• A look at the history books may temper any enthusiasm, as Real Betis have only lost one of the last nine head-to-head matches (W6, D2). The visitors also travel on the back of a seven-game unbeaten run across all competitions (W4, D3), but they’ve been far from convincing during that run, with only one of those wins decided by more than a single-goal margin.
• Manager Manuel Pellegrini will be hoping his team returns refreshed as they continue to hunt down a place in the top six. Los Verdiblancos head into this round just a point shy of that, sitting in seventh place, but further progress could depend on an improvement on the road where they’ve won just once in eight league matches (D5, L2).
• Key battle: Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili may not be too excited about the prospect of facing Betis, against whom he has kept just one clean sheet in six attempts, conceding ten goals in the process (W1, D1, L4). Looking to continue the Georgian’s misery could well be Giovani Lo Celso, who has netted first or last in each of his four goalscoring appearances since joining Betis in the summer.
• Hot stat: Valencia are the only team in La Liga yet to rescue a single point after conceding the opening goal this season (L3).
