Real Valladolid vs Betis Prediction: Betting on the visitors and total over

On Sunday, the eighth round of the Spanish championship will start with the match between Valladolid and Betis. The bookmakers are in no hurry to make the Sevillians the big favorites for the pair; the fact is that they had a tough midweek trip to Italy to visit Roma, while Valladolid had a whole week to rest and prepare for the upcoming game.

After two successive losses to Girona and Cadiz, Valladolid beat Getafe somewhat unexpectedly and away. Thanks to this win, Valladolid moved up to 15th place; the gap between the hosts and Almeria, who are in the relegation zone, is three points. Valladolid has the 16th home record in the division, +1=0-2, 1:4 goal difference.

In their last five games, Betis has won four times, with one defeat. They also beat Ludogorets and Roma in the Europa League; they lost in the Spanish league to Celta but beat Villarreal and Girona. Betis is 4th (+5=0-2, 10:5 goal difference and 15 points) before the reporting round, two points more than the closest pursuer, Atlético de Madrid. Betis' away statistics are 13th in the league, +1=0-2, and a 3:4 ga goal difference.

Betis hasn't lost to Valladolid in the last three games, and the TO (1.5) in this confrontation has been reached in the previous six encounters, plus this season, with all due respect to the future home team. Still, Valladolid and Betis are teams of different levels. It is hard to believe that current Valladolid can beat the Sevillians, albeit on home soil. As for the total, we hope the match will be very productive, despite Betis playing on two fronts.
