Real Betis vs Villarreal: Sevillians will score points and extend their winning streak

One of the central matches of the 23rd round of the Spanish La Liga will be played in Seville, where the local Betis will play host to Villarreal. The opponents are direct competitors for a place in the top four of the Spanish Primera Division, so a challenging three-goal game is expected. At the same time, it should be noted that both teams are in good form. At least their last matches were won by both the Southerners and the Castellonians.

After an away draw with Rayo Vallecano, Betis has played four matches in two tournaments and achieved four wins in that period. In the Spanish Cup, Betis knocked out Sevilla and Real Sociedad. Moreover, the game against the Basques took place on February 3, i.e. three days before our game. In La Liga, Sevilla are stronger than Espanyol and Alaves. Sevilla scored precisely four goals against their opponents in their last three games, an excellent performance. The Greens are in third place in the Primera Liga standings, 10 points behind Real Madrid in the lead. Theoretically, the South Americans still can win the La Liga title, but that is not a very credible outcome. Betis have the sixth-best home record in the division, +6=2-3, 23:12 goal difference, with only Villarreal, Sevilla and Real Madrid scoring more than Betis at home.

In early February, Villarreal was knocked out of the Spanish Cup after losing to Sporting Gijón. The Yellows are entirely focused on the national championship. However, the recent results in La Liga are slightly worse than those of Betis. In their last three games, the Castellonians only picked up 4 points, losing away to Elche, drawing at home to Atletico and beating Mallorca 3:0. Logically, Villarreal is also below their opponents in the league standings, in seventh place, two points behind the Eurocup zone and four points below Atletico, i.e. the Champions League zone. On the road, Villarreal has just the 14th statistic in the league, one win in 10 games with four defeats and just seven goals scored. This season, Villarreal is a classic home team in terms of statistics and results.

A high-scoring team faces an unproductive one, and they are direct rivals. Betis had a midweek game against Real Sociedad and away, in which the coaching staff used a very workable version of the squad. We doubt that the upcoming game will be rich in goals. The importance of the game is hard to overestimate. If they beat Villarreal, Betis will essentially guarantee a place in the European competitions next season. Obviously, for Villarreal, they cannot afford to lose in Seville. However, the away side have poor statistics, while Betis are one of the best teams in the division at home. There is a feeling that Betis will not lose at home once again. We propose the following bets: 1X+TU (4.5) for 1.69, W1 for 2.37, Correct Score 2:0 for 13.00.
