Real Valladolid vs Real Betis Prediction and Betting Tips | January 11th 2025

Real Valladolid and Real Betis take to the pitch for their first La Liga outing of the new year when they square off at the José Zorrilla Stadium on Saturday. Manuel Pellegrini’s men head into the weekend on a five-game unbeaten run against the home side and will be looking to extend this fine streak.

Real Valladolid endured a disappointing start to the new year as they were dumped out of the Copa del Rey courtesy a 3-2 defeat against lower-tier Ourense FC in the round of 32 last Sunday.

This was in keeping with their struggles in La Liga, where Diego Martin Cocca’s side have lost four of their most recent five matches and are on a run of just one win from their last eight.

Valladolid sit rock-bottom in the league table with 12 points from 18 games and this has been owing to their defensive frailty as they have conceded 37 goals already — seven more than any other side in the division.

Real Betis, on the other hand, held on to their slender lead to see out a 1-0 victory over Huesca in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey last Saturday.

Pellegrini’s men have now gone seven straight games without defeat, picking up two draws and five wins, including victories over Petrocub and HJK in the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Real Betis now turn their focus to La Liga, where they are ninth in the league standings, level on 25 points with Real Sociedad, Girona and Osasuna.
