How Valencia go into the game
Valencia opened with a goalless draw at home to Celta Vigo — solid defensively but short of a cutting edge. Carlos Corberan’s side will want to turn a point into three in front of their own supporters.
How Real Betis go into the game
Real Betis are up and running after edging Real Sociedad 1-0 in their opener. Manuel Pellegrini’s men have been a bogey side for Valencia in recent years and travel with genuine belief.
Valencia vs Real Betis head-to-head
Betis have had the better of it lately, winning three of the last six to Valencia’s one with two draws, and shading the goals 11-8. That includes a 2-1 win in Seville in February and a 1-1 draw at the Mestalla last November.
