Betis Analysis
After 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, the home team is in 8th place, having won 12 points. In the last match, they lost with Atletico Madrid away by (1-0), after in the previous game to have won at home, in a game against Leganes, by (1-0).

There are 1 highlights in the last 6 home games in all competitions: he scored 4 of his 7 goals in the minutes (76'-90 ').

Betis have seen their 6-game unbeaten run in the last round and are looking for a recovery to try to get back into the zone to qualify for European competition next season. The team has a quality defense that has only conceded 6 goals and is the second less leaked La Liga, but the attack has serious problems, scored only 5 goals and is the worst of the national, highlighting the huge imbalance between the two sectors. Playing at home, such as this Sunday's match, Betis comes from 3 unbeaten games where they won 2 and drew 1 and, despite an ineffective attack, scored their 5 goals in these 3 matches. For the confrontation against Valladolid, coaches Quique Setién and Eder Sarabia should repeat the last round's qualification where, despite the defeat, he had a good performance away from home against Atletico Madrid.

Analysis of Valladolid
After 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, the visiting team is in 7th position, having won 12 points. In the last match, he won Huesca at home (1-0), after the previous match won out in a game against Villarreal by (0-1). In the league, Valladolid won 6 points in 12 chances, after 1 win and 3 draws in the last 4 games they played as a visitor.

For this competition, you have not lost any of the last 4 games outside your stadium. In their away games there is a tendency towards few goals, since 14 of their last 27 games finished with Less than 1.5 goals. This is a team that scored few times first and they only managed to open the scoring in 2 of their last 8 games in the Primera Division, of these 2 reached the break in advantage in 1 and won in the late 90 'in all. In 8 games in this competition, he only managed 1 turn on the scoreboard in the 4 games in which he conceded the first goal.

Valladolid is campaigning higher than expected after climbing to La Liga at the end of last season, coming in a great phase with 3 consecutive victories and going in search of another positive result to get closer to the first placed. The team has a somewhat ineffective attack that has scored only 7 goals and is the fifth worst in the competition, but the defense is very solid, only conceded 6 goals and is the second less leaked, being a team that gets very well behind, but has difficulty reaching the attack and ends little. Playing away from home, like the match on Sunday, Valladolid has 3 draws and 1 win in the national and it is worth mentioning that in 3 of these games did not suffer goals, again showing their enormous defensive capacity. For the confrontation against Betis, coach Sergio must maintain the lineup of the last rounds where he got 3 wins in 3 games.

Betting Tip: 
This confrontation tends to be uncrowded and strong, as it puts two teams of enormous defensive capacity on the front line, which are among the least leaked La Liga teams, but who have inefficient attacks that score very few goals. Betis did not score goals in 2 out of the last 3 games as the main player, but scored only 1 goal in 2 of those matches, while Valladolid did not concede goals in 3 out of 4 matches, but in 2 of them their attack went blank. Given these factors, we believe in a game without great emotions, low offensive volume and few goals.
