Team analysis: Villarreal
Villarreal enters this duel after a series of bad results. The last two matches ended in defeats – 1:0 against the fourth division Pontevedra in the King’s Cup and 2:0 against Athletic Bilbao in La Liga. However, Marcelino’s team is in fifth place in the table, six points behind fourth-placed Athletica, but with two games less, which gives room for a return to the top four teams.
Villarreal’s attacking line has been performing well this season, scoring 27 goals, making them the fourth most efficient team in the league. On the other hand, the defense is their weakest point, as they have conceded 25 goals, which is the fourth worst performance in the league.
Marcelino will rely on Ayoze Perez, who is in excellent form with 10 goals in 12 games this season. Alex Baena, a key player on the left, continues to impress and will once again be the main attacking threat for the opposition. Villarreal are missing Diego Conde and Ilias Akhomach due to injuries, while Santi Comesana will miss out due to suspension.
Team analysis: Real Betis
Real Betis enter this duel with three games without defeat, including a draw against Barcelona (2:2) in which they showed character. They are currently 11th in La Liga with 21 points, but are just three points behind sixth-placed Real Sociedad, meaning they are still in contention for the places leading into European competitions.
Betis have solid offensive potential, and their backline relies on experienced players like Marc Bartra. However, the problem for Manuel Pellegrini’s team is injuries to key players. William Carvalho, Johnny Cardoso, Nobel Mendy and Marc Roca will not be available, while Mateo Flores, Romain Perraud, Pablo Fornals and Hector Bellerin are questionable.
Betis’ attacking options include Abde Ezzalzouli, who is expected to provide depth and creativity on the left, while Vitor Roque will spearhead the attack.
Betting suggestion: Villarreal to score more than 1.5 goals
An interesting duel between two teams that strive for attacking football is expected. Villarreal will have home advantage and need to get back on the winning track, while Betis, despite injuries, will come with confidence after positive results.
