Real Betis have opened a Spanish league campaign with two successive wins for the first time since 2022 after beating Valencia 1-0 away from home.
The victory at Valencia followed an identical result against Real Sociedad in the opening round of the championship. Two matches into the campaign, Real Betis have therefore collected two wins, with both games decided by a single goal.
The result also gives the Seville club a notable early milestone. It is the first time in four years that Real Betis have won both of their opening league matches. The last occasion came in 2022, although the club went one step further then by beginning the campaign with three victories in a row.
Real Betis now have the opportunity to extend their current run when they face Levante in their next league fixture. The side will then face a significantly different challenge against Real Madrid, with that match scheduled for 6 September.
For now, the back-to-back 1-0 wins represent a strong beginning for Real Betis. Their opening results against Real Sociedad and Valencia have produced the same narrow scoreline, but both victories have been enough to maintain the club’s perfect record at the start of the championship.
The away success against Valencia was particularly important in confirming that the opening-day victory was not an isolated result. Real Betis followed up their home? Wait no, source doesn’t say home against Real Sociedad. Need fix. “followed up their opening-day victory” no venue. The source only says Valencia away; don’t say home.
At this stage, Real Betis are one match away from matching the sequence they achieved in 2022. A win over Levante would give them three consecutive victories at the beginning of the league campaign, while the meeting with Real Madrid on 6 September will come afterwards.
The club’s immediate focus will be Levante, with that fixture offering an opportunity to continue a run that has already matched a landmark from four years ago. Whatever happens in the next round, Real Betis have already secured their best opening across two league matches since 2022.
