It's going to be a busy end to the season for Valencia. They have qualified for the last four of the Europa League, are in the Copa del Rey final and still chasing a top four finish in La Liga. Thursday saw them beat Villarreal for the second time in a week to reach the Europa League semi-finals where they meet Arsenal. Winning that compettition would qualify them for next season's Champions League but so would a top four finish in La Liga. They are currently sixth and three points behind Sevilla. An ideal result for Valencia this weekend would be a win at Betis and for Sevilla to draw at fifth-placed Getafe. Valencia have just one loss in their last 21 league and cup games. Away from home, they have only lost one of their last nine games.

Real Betis have their own European aspirations and although ninth in the league, they are only three points adrift of the final Europa League position. They will be out for revenge after losing to Valencia in the Copa del Rey semi-finals. Betis have only won two of their last eight league and cup games and both were against sides battling relegation. At home, they beat Villarreal last time out but before then had gone five without a win with three defeats. Valencia have played them three times this season and are yet to lose to them with a win and two draws. Go for a double chance bet on Valencia to win or draw this match.
