Villarreal vs Real Betis Preview

Villarreal vs Real Betis

Competition – Spanish Primera

Stadium – Estadio de la Cerámica

Date: 25th November 2018

Kick-off time – 19:45 GMT

Real Betis will be looking to get a second consecutive away win in the league when they visit Villarreal in this game.

They beat Barcelona 4-3 in their last league game at the Camp Nou – a win that inflicted a first home defeat in two years on the Catalans.

Villarreal are struggling this season and it is a surprise to many observers that their manager hasn’t been fired yet.

They needed a last gasp equalizer to earn a point against Rayo Vallecano in their last league game and it will be interesting to see how they perform against this confident Betis side.

Betis may have become the first away team to score 4 goals at the Camp Nou in 15 years when they beat Barcelona last time out, however, they are struggling this season and come into this game in 12th position.

The major problem for the visitors is consistency as they have already secured wins over the likes of Milan, Sevilla and Barca.

If they can be a little more consistent, they can better their league position starting with a win here.

Betis haven’t won any of their last 6 trips to Villarreal and their 2-1 home win earlier in the year was the first time they avoided a defeat against the home team in 4 attempts.

Villarreal are currently trading as favourites to come out on top in this tie while goal markets point in the direction of goals as over 2.5 goals is trading odds-on.
