After the break of the international schedule, La Liga will be back with some exciting bunch of games. In one of the most interesting fixtures of the match week 14, Real Betis will take on Valencia CF. The important Spanish top-flight encounter will be hosted by Estadio Benito Villamarin. It is also going to be the 7th road fixture of the campaign for Los Ches. However, they will have this trip to the Seville based venue just a few days prior to their penultimate group stage game of the UEFA Champions League. In fact, the Oranges will host the English Premier League giant Chelsea at the Mestalla Stadium just a few days later to this game.
On the contrary, Los Verdiblancos will be playing their 8th home game of the season. It will also be their second home game on the trot after facing Sevilla FC in the Seville Derby. However, the Green and Whites will have a trip to the Estadio de Son Moix to play Real Mallorca following this fixture.

Predicted Result: Real Betis 2 – 2 Valencia Cf
Match Preview: Although the men in Green and Whites failed to make an impressive start to the campaign, they are definitely a good side. They do have a formidable squad. In addition to this, they will be playing in their home condition. Thus it will give them the mental advantage and they will be playing for nothing but a win. So expect them to go with a balanced (more like attacking) tactics.
Conversely, Valencia CF is definitely a strong side. They are certainly one of the strongest sides in the league. Despite playing at the away condition, they are expected to go for all the match points. So they too may opt to play attacking kind of football.
It is hard to pick a favorite from such kind of match. I’m actually expecting a thrilling match. I also back both the teams to score. Above all, my pick is a 2-2 draw at the end of the 90 minutes.
