Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Valencia and Real Betis square off against each other in a highly-anticipated La Liga game at Estadio de Mestalla. Los Che are on a five-game winless run in Primera Division, and, no doubt, they will leave their hearts on the field. Key attacker Edinson Cavani faces race against clock to be fit for the midweek clash, with all Ilaix Moriba, Mouctar Diakhaby, and Jaume Domenech remaining in the recovery room.
Los Beticos, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Sevilla in the Seville derby at the weekend, with the team finishing the match with ten men on the field. As a result, both Nabil Fekir and Borja Iglesias are banned for the Valencia game, while all Joaquin, Luiz Felipe, Juanmi Jimenez, and Victor Camarasa are out of contention with injuries. Anyhow, home win should be considered as los Che want this triumph more than los Beticos.
