Valencia meet Betis with DAZN showing Tuesday fixture

Valencia begin their attempt to climb closer to the top of La Liga with a demanding fixture against Real Betis. The match brings together clubs whose recent fortunes have moved in different directions, with Valencia trying to rebuild their standing and Betis continuing to make progress among Spain’s leading sides.

Valencia ended last season in ninth place and are seeking a better campaign under coach Carlos Corberán. Their decline followed financial difficulties and a succession of poor decisions that reduced the club’s status after a period when they were regularly viewed as credible challengers behind Spain’s two dominant teams. Betis, meanwhile, finished fifth last season, setting a higher recent benchmark before this meeting.

Corberán’s selected Valencia side includes Dimitrievski in goal, with Vazquez, Tarrega, Diakhaby and Gaya forming the defensive line. Ugrinic, Guerra and Rodriguez are named in midfield, while Pepelu is positioned behind the attacking pair of Sato and Umar.

Betis have Valles as their goalkeeper and line up with Garcia, Natan, Bartra and Bellerin in defence. Roca, Bernal and Fornals are the midfield choices, with Riquelme, Hernandez and Antony completing the starting team. The La Liga fixture is scheduled for Tuesday at 21:00 and will be broadcast on DAZN.
