Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Buoyed by a 3-2 win over Getafe, Real Valladolid will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Real Betis on Sunday afternoon. La Pucela are eyeing their third win of the season, but they will have a big fish to fry against los Beticos, who have big ambitions for the 2022/2023 La Liga campaign. A man to watch in the home team will be Sergio Leon, who scored a brace at the weekend, while both Joaquin Fernandez and Sergio Asenjo remain in the recovery room.
The Andalusians, on the other hand, aim to stay in the Champions League berth, but they will have to do it without defender Luiz Felipe, who was sent off in a 1-0 loss to Celta Vigo. Anyhow, away win should be considered as key player Nabil Fekir has overcome his injury.
