Match Preview: Betis vs. Valencia in LaLiga EA Sports

Today, February 1, 2026, Real Betis will face Valencia at Estadio de La Cartuja in a pivotal match for LaLiga EA Sports, part of the 22nd round of the season. Both teams are eager for a victory to enhance their positions in the standings ahead of their respective cup fixtures.

Betis enters the match with a significant number of absentees. Manager Manuel Pellegrini will be without seven players who have been sidelined for several matches: Bellerín, Junior, Amrabat, Isco, Lo Celso, Riquelme, and Cucho Hernández. Additionally, Brazilian player Natan will miss the game due to a suspension following an accumulation of yellow cards. This presents a considerable challenge for Betis, as this is the second of three consecutive home games in different competitions.

On the other hand, Valencia is enjoying their best run of results this season. They arrive in Seville bolstered by the addition of two new signings, Unai Núñez and former Betis player Guido Rodríguez. It remains to be seen whether either will start or see action during the match. Nonetheless, they aim to contribute to a team that is striving to distance itself from the relegation zone in the standings.

The match between Betis and Valencia will kick off today at 16:15 hours at Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville.
