Prediction: 1-0
Betis
Valencia play host to Real Betis at their Estadio de Mestalla in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Saturday’s program. Los Che aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Valencia and you should know that there have been under 2.5 goals in each of their last five league matches. Talented forward Fran Perez should recover in time to face los Beticos despite picking up a minor injury against los Rojillos, while all Roman Yaremchuk, Jose Gaya, and Mouctar Diakhaby remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Andalusians, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Celta Vigo and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their four-game losing run, but given their difficulties on the road (0-1-3), we predict that the in-form hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. All Hecto Bellerin, Ezequiel Avila, and Marc Roca remain in the recovery room, while Greece defender Sokratis is a major doubt.
Highlighted Player (Willian José):
Well-travelled Brazilian international Willian Jose was born in Porto Calvo and made his first football steps at a local Clube de Regatas. It was at the age of 17 that he was snapped by Gremio Barueri where he made 26 league appearances and scored six goal in his first – and only – senior season at the club.
In 2011, Willian Jose moved to Deportivo Maldonado but his five-year stint with the Uruguay outfit was marked by no less than seven different loan spells, one of which was to La Liga heavyweights Real Madrid. Standing at 186cm tall, Willian Jose is a notable presence in the box. This powerful centre forward will use his physicality to hold up ball and bring his teammates into play.
The Brazilian international did well to make a name for himself in Spain by playing for Zaragoza and Las Palmas, respectively, before he sealed a permanent move to Real Sociedad in 2016. A member of both FIFA U-20 World Cup and South American Youth Championship winning sides with Brazil in 2011, Willian Jose has not been given a chance to prove his worth at the senior level with Selecao.
Highlighted Team (Valencia):
Founded on March 18, 1919, Valencia FC are a Spanish football club that compete in La Liga. Los Che play their home games at Estadio de Mestalla, the stadium which was opened back in May, 1923. The capacity of the venue is 50,000. Seeing that bats are quite common in Valencia, it is no surprise they are nicknamed the Bats.
Valencia made it to the Champions League final on two occasions (2000, 2001), but they were beaten in the title games by Real Madrid and Bayern Munchen respectively. The Spanish club, though, did well to win the UEFA Cup title in the 2003/2004 season, with the team beating Marseille in the final of the competition.
A number of top-class footballers were part of the club in the past, with the likes of Pablo Aimar, Ruben Baraja, David Albelda, Santiago Canizares, John Carew and Gaizka Mendieta all playing for the Estadio de Mestalla outfit. Valencia main colors are white and black, whilst they often where orange jerseys and shorts when playing on the travels.
