Villarreal vs Real Betis Prediction

Villarreal Form

Villarreal added four points to the standings in their previous three matches, where they first beat Cadiz 2-0. They were then defeated 2-1 against Rayo Vallecano, before drawing 2-2 against Atletico Madrid. Villarreal won four of their last six La Liga matches on home soil, while drawing once and losing once. They conceded eight and scored 17 goals.

A season somewhat above expectations could perhaps make Villarreal a contender in a title race, though they do look capable of a podium finish if catching the right momentum.

Real Betis Form

Real Betis claimed four points from a possible nine in their last three matches across all tournaments, which opened with a defeat 0-1 against Getafe. A 1-2 win followed against Girona, before drawing 1-1 with Valencia. Real Betis, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn one and lost three in their last six away in the La Liga.

Real Betis go into the season with the clear aim of a top half finish, and if they can build some momentum early on, perhaps even throw their hat in the ring for a place in an international tournament.

Both Villarreal and visitors Real Betis seem to struggle just a wee bit much right now, with keeping a clean sheet. We go out on a limb here and suggest that, both teams will find the back of the net.
