Villarreal vs Real Betis Preview

Villarreal are in need of a good result in this game after a disappointing start to the new season.

They have lost their two fixtures in the league so far after falling 1-0 to Levante and 3-0 to Real Sociedad.

In all fairness those were away games and their chances of winning weren’t great but playing at home this time gives them an opportunity to get a good result.

They were a solid side when they played at home last season and we expect them to take that form to the new season even though they have some injury concerns.

Real Betis started their season on a losing note following a 2-0 loss to Barcelona but they pulled off a comeback win over Celta Vigo in their last game with that match ending in a 2-1 victory for them.

We expect this game to be another tough away day for them as Villarreal will be out to get their first win of the season.

Nevertheless, Betis could still pull off an upset.
