The passionate collision between the "Green and White Legion" and the "Bat Legion"

At 3 a.m. on May 24, 2025, a noticeable contest will be staged in the 38th round of the La Liga, with Real Betis playing against Valencia at home. For both teams, this is a special game, but the motivations are completely different - Betis has been locked in the Europa League qualification and is accumulating strength for next week's Europa League final; while Valencia completed the relegation task early, and her condition has declined significantly recently.

Real Betis Football Club

Real Betis' performance this season is a success. After 37 rounds, they ranked sixth with 15 wins, 11 draws, 8 losses, and 56 points, leading Celta in seventh place and 8 points behind Villarreal in fifth place. This means that no matter what the result in the last round, their league ranking will not change. Such results allow coach Pellegrini to prepare for the finals of next week's European Cup more calmly. This season, Betis introduced Manchester United winger Anthony, and this signing has significantly improved the team's offensive firepower. Data shows that Betis performed well on the offensive end this season and has the fourth-ranked offensive firepower in the league. Juanmi, Iglesias and Jose each have their own characteristics on the front line, while Feiquil and Canales in the midfield provide sufficient support for the front line. However, considering next week's European final, Pellegrini is likely to rotate in this game. Core players such as Fekir and Canales may not play the whole game, and may even take a turn for the rest. This strategic adjustment will undoubtedly affect the team's overall combat effectiveness.

Valencia Football Club

Valencia's performance this season can be said to have opened high and closed low. It is currently ranked 12th with 11 wins, 12 draws, 14 losses and 45 points, and has completed the relegation task ahead of schedule. The team had performed well in the second half of the season, but they suffered a series of losses in the past two rounds, showing that the players' mentality has been relaxed after successfully relegation. It is worth mentioning that Valencia's away record has always been unsatisfactory, with only 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses in the last 10 away games, with a away winning rate of only 30%. Facing a strong team like Betis, it is difficult for them to achieve much on the away game.

Considering all aspects of factors, this game is likely to be a slower pace and low confrontation intensity. Betis will win without being injured, while Valencia may focus on training. Considering Betis' home advantage and overall strength, they still have a certain chance of winning, but there is little chance of a big victory. The final game of La Liga has always been full of variables, especially when both teams are no longer willing to do anything. This game may not determine the title or qualification for the European Cup, but it is still worth our attention to see which young players can seize the opportunity to prove themselves and gain more playing time for next season.
