Fri May 23 19:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Real Betis Face Valencia in La Liga Finale Ahead of Conference League Final

**Seville, Spain** – Real Betis will host Valencia this Friday in their final La Liga match of the 2024-25 season. Betis, guaranteed to finish sixth, will use the game as preparation for next week’s Conference League final against Chelsea. Valencia, currently in 12th place, aim to end their season on a high note and potentially climb into the top half of the table.

Betis’s hopes of Champions League qualification faded after a string of disappointing results. However, securing Europa League football marks a successful season for Manuel Pellegrini’s side. The club’s focus now lies on the Conference League final, a chance to win their first European trophy.

The scheduling of this La Liga match has sparked controversy, with Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca expressing his displeasure at Betis receiving an extra 48 hours of preparation.

Valencia, after two consecutive defeats, are out of the running for European competition. Despite this, manager Carlos Corberan has overseen a remarkable turnaround since taking charge, guiding the team to safety and a comfortable mid-table position.

Team news sees Betis missing several key players through injury, with Pellegrini expected to rest others ahead of the final. Valencia also have injury concerns, with Giorgi Mamardashvili set to make his final appearance before joining Liverpool.

Real Betis will look to boost their confidence before Conference League final, but with key players set to be rested, a draw against Valencia is expected.
