Villarreal continues to keep the pace this season. They are currently in sixth place with 47 points, but should they win, they could beat the higher-ranked Betis and move from the Conference League to the Europa League competitions. Until recently, they were doing well - a streak of three wins. First, however, Villarreal lost 1:2 to Valladolid in front of their home fans before losing 1:2 away to Sevilla. It is time for last year's Champions League semi-finalists to pull themselves together.
Espanyol
Espanyol is noticeably worse. Together with Valencia and Elche, they are 19th in the relegation zone, with 28 points. The team is three points behind 17th place, so now they have a great chance to get closer to the cherished goal. But given how the team has looked in previous matches, there is very little chance for them to succeed. Espanyol broke their terrible run of six defeats in a row only last weekend and drew with Cadiz (0:0). Previously, they were 1:2 at the hands of Athletic and 1:3 at the hands of Betis.

Expert Betting Tips
Espanyol won't even be able to win a point in their next encounter. The team has been looking awful of late, with the feeling that they are already in the Segunda. A reminder - six defeats in seven games. Villarreal has very different goals for the season; they are good from a distance. Moreover, after two disappointing losses, the team must rehabilitate itself in front of its fans, adding three points at such a critical moment. So, as the main bet, we suggest the home team win and the total under.
