Tip and bets
Both clubs were beaten in the previous round of La Liga, they wanted to keep the energy for the final of Copa del Rey. Betis are having one of their best seasons, they still have a chance for the Champions League spot. Valencia are gaining speed and can also get a spot in European competition, if they will win the final of Spanish Cup.
We are expecting a tight clash between two evenly matches teams. Hosts have a slight advantage, because they will play at home. They also have a slightly better line-up, but visitors are not ready to give up. We offer to place a risky bet on Valencia. Visitors proved that they deserved a trophy.
Our prediction - Valencia to win the match
