Villarreal vs Betis Prediction & Betting tips
It is still very early in the season, but the meeting between Villarreal and Real Betis on Friday evening is an absolute key duel for both teams. The yellow shirts and the green and white are each other’s direct competitors in the battle for European football.
Villarreal:
Villarreal had to fight very hard last year against relegation, but this season it is back in the Spanish subtop. Also last Tuesday, the yellow shirts came out well again, although FC Barcelona turned out to be just too strong with 2-1. Trainer Javi Calleja: “I think it was an equally upward duel, but we were just that little bit extra short to achieve a positive result in the Camp Nou.”
FC Barcelona-out is perhaps the toughest match of the season, so last Tuesday’s defeat was no shame. On Friday evening, however, points will have to be taken, as Real Betis is a direct competitor in the battle for European football. Calleja will probably rotate a bit due to the busy schedule, but there will definitely be a strong team at the kick-off in the Madrigal.
Real Betis:
With two losses in a row, Real Betis initially started the new season with a false start, but now the Andalusians have found their way. The green and white have been unbeaten for four consecutive games and booked their second league victory of the new football year last Tuesday. “This was our best game of the season,” coach Rubi exulted after the 3-1 win over Levante.
Real Betis is doing great. The attacking duo Loren Moron and Borja Iglesias in particular are in top form. Both attackers scored on Tuesday, and together they take seven out of a total of nine league goals from Real Betis. The rear-guard, however, remains a concern, as the green and white managed to keep their goal clean in only one of their six matches.
