Valladolid
Real Betis play host to Real Valladolid at their Estadio Benito Villamarin on day 22 of the 2022/2023 La Liga campaign. Los Beticos did well to win the Andalusian derby at the weekend, with the team beating Almeria on the road, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to represent Spain in the Champions League next term. Since all Fekir, Luiz Felipe, and Carvalho return from suspensions, home win should definitely be considered.
La Pucela, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the table with only 24 points on their account. Real Valladolid are not regarded as good travellers, and, taking everything into account, they are unlikely to spoil Real Betis’ party at “Villamarin”. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Seville, but midfielder Kenedy remains in the recovery room.
