Betis
Match Time & Date:
4 June 2023
20:00
Prediction: 1-1
Valencia
Betis and Valencia take on each other at Estadio Benito Villamarin on the last day of the season. Los Beticos have already booked their place in the Europa League, but they obviously want to finish the campaign in great manner. The Andalusians did well to beat Girona on the road in their last league match and they are now on a quest to prevent Valencia from securing the top flight survival. Nabil Fekir remains on the sidelines with an ACL injury, while German Pezzella misses out through suspension.
Los Che, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Real Madrid, losing to Mallorca, while sharing the spoils with their direct rivals for survival Espanyol. Since Valencia should be happy with one point from the decider, we are tempted to put our money on draw. Marcos de Sousa should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Player (William Carvalho):
Angola-born defensive midfielder William Carvalho has overseen a dramatic rise in his stock over the past few seasons at Sporting. William Carvalho is coming from a proper football family since his father and grandfather were also footballers, but his way to the top has had a somewhat dramatic twist to it.

William Carvalho joined the Sporting football academy at the age of 13 The 24-year-old Portugal star player has spent two years on loan at Fatima and Cercle Brugge, before he got the chance to cement his place in the starting line-up for Portuguese giants.

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.
