Under 3.5 goals at Valencia vs Real Betis 2/5 for Tuesday’s La Liga battle

Competition: La Liga

Market: Under 3.5 goals

Odds: 2/5 @ 888sport

In a La Liga showdown that could once again be a cagey affair, Valencia will host Real Betis on Tuesday evening.

Starting with the hosts, last seen a few days ago putting in another toothless display, it is fair to say that Valencia are in the midst of an extended rut. In their 35 La Liga matchups this season, they have recorded 10 wins, 14 draws and 11 defeats, scoring 45 and conceding 49 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 44, they open the midweek fixtures sat 10th in the standings and holding just a one-point buffer from dropping out of the top-10. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 0-0 stalemate against Athletic Bilbao on the road, Valencia have failed to win any of their previous seven matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should also be noted, Tuesday’s hosts have seen their last nine straight fixtures finish with under 3.5 goals.

As for the visitors, while Real Betis might be firmly sat in pole position to clinch a European finish this year, they are also in the midst of a recent wobble. In their 35 La Liga matchups this season, they have recorded 17 wins, seven draws and 11 defeats, scoring 57 and conceding 40 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 58, they open the midweek fixtures sat fifth in the table and holding a five-point buffer from dropping out of the European spots. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen over the weekend getting hit with a last-gasp 2-1 loss at home against Barcelona, Real Betis have managed to win just one of their previous five matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should be noted, with each of their last six outings finishing with under 3.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
