Real Betis vs Valencia: La Liga Prediction (24.05.2025)

On May 24, 2025, at 02:00 WIB, the final matchday of the Spanish league will feature a clash between Real Betis and Valencia. Bookmakers consider the home side to be slight favorites. Let’s take a look at the current form of both teams and offer a prediction for the game.

Real Betis

The Andalusians can definitely consider this season a success. The team improved significantly in the second half of the campaign, showing great potential. Betis has already secured qualification for the Europa League, which is a step up from the Conference League, both in terms of prestige and financial gain. This gives the club more financial leverage to strengthen the squad.

Not long ago, Betis even had a chance to fight for a Champions League spot. However, the last few matches were disappointing: two draws and one loss. Now, the team cannot climb higher than sixth place, but also won’t drop lower. This means the match holds no competitive significance for Manuel Pellegrini’s side.

Moreover, in just five days, Betis will face Chelsea in the final of the Conference League. That game is now their top priority, so it would be no surprise if Betis fields a reserve lineup in this final league match.

Valencia

“Los Che” had a season full of ups and downs, which can be divided into two parts. In the first half, they were among the league’s biggest underperformers and were even considered serious relegation candidates. But in the second half of the season, Valencia produced phenomenal results. From January to May 2025, they only lost to Atlético Madrid and Barcelona and even had a chance to qualify for European competitions.

Unfortunately, losses to Alavés (0-1) and Athletic Bilbao (0-1) in their last two games dashed those hopes. Heading into the final matchday, Valencia sits 12th in the table and still has a shot at breaking into the top 10. The only absentee is the injured Diego López. The team will likely aim to put on a strong performance before the summer break.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

The last five head-to-head meetings have been evenly matched. Each team has won twice, with one draw. In 3 out of 5 of those games, at least three goals were scored.

Prediction

For the Real Betis vs Valencia match, we lean toward the visitors. For Betis, this game holds no significance, and they are focused on the Conference League final. Therefore, a good betting option would be “Valencia not to lose” at odds of 1.82.
