At Mestalla on 9 November 2025, Valencia welcome Real Betis in a La Liga encounter that brings together two sides heading in opposite directions - the hosts struggling to regain form and confidence, while the visitors continue to show consistency and resilience.
Valencia’s Slide Continues
Valencia find themselves back in the relegation zone after a difficult run of six winless league games, including four defeats. Their lack of attacking output has been particularly concerning - the team has now gone three consecutive matches without scoring. Although they tend to perform better at home, recent results have been discouraging, with back-to-back defeats to Villarreal and Oviedo further denting their morale. The pressure is mounting on Rubén Baraja’s side to find a spark and end this downward trend.
Betis Unbeaten Away, Consistent Overall
Real Betis, meanwhile, enter the weekend full of confidence. Sitting fifth in the standings, Manuel Pellegrini’s men have suffered only one defeat in their last twelve matches across all competitions - a narrow loss to Atletico Madrid. Their away record has been especially solid: unbeaten in five league trips, albeit with four ending in draws. Those matches have typically been lively affairs, with both teams scoring in each, underlining Betis’s attacking reliability and occasional defensive openness.
Prediction: 1–1 Draw
Given Valencia’s need to respond and Betis’s tendency to share the points on the road, a balanced contest looks the most plausible outcome. The hosts should be able to compete with the support of Mestalla, yet Betis’s structure and experience may prevent them from claiming all three points. The prediction is a 1–1 draw, reflecting both sides’ current tendencies.
