Betis vs Valladolid preview, H2H and probable lineups - April 24, 2025
One of the matches of the 33rd round of the Spanish championship will take place on Thursday at the "Benito Villamarin" stadium, where the local Betis will host Valladolid. I suggest betting on goals in this match with a good odds.
Match preview
Betis is having a solid season under the attentive guidance of Manuel Pellegrini. The Chilean maestro has once again focused on balanced football — emphasizing creativity up front and discipline at the back. This approach is paying off: the team is confidently holding its place in the European competition zone and currently occupies the sixth spot in La Liga.
In their last five matches across all competitions, the "green-and-whites" have looked quite impressive — two victories, two draws, and only one defeat. In a recent away duel with Polish side Jagiellonia (1-1), the team confirmed its ability to compete on two fronts and maintain form even with a rotational squad. Performances at their home arena, "Benito Villamarin," are particularly impressive, where Pellegrini's wards have secured 8 wins, 5 draws, and only 3 losses.
Against the backdrop of confident Betis, Real Valladolid's situation looks frankly dire. The team is mired at the bottom of the Primera table, with only 16 points after 31 rounds — ahead lies a real battle for survival for "Pucela." Recent weeks have turned into an extended nightmare: five consecutive defeats in all competitions, with no hint of progress.
The latest match only deepened the crisis — a home fiasco 2-3 against Osasuna was another blow to the team's pride and already shaky psychology. Throughout the season, Valladolid has secured only 4 wins, 4 draws, and a staggering 23 defeats, with a dismal goal difference — 21 scored against 73 conceded. Their away statistics are particularly disheartening: just one win and 15 losses away from their home ground.
Probable lineups
- Betis: Adrian Castillo – Diego Llorente, Romain Perraud, Marc Bartra, Aitor Ruibal – Isco, Joao Cardoso, Pablo Fornals – Jesus Rodriguez, Antony Mateus, Cucho Hernandez
- Valladolid: Andre Ferreira – Enrique, Javi Sanchez, Aidoo, Antonio Candela – Stanko Juric – Raul Moro, Florian Grillitsch, Chuki, Darwin Machis – Juan Latasa
