Real Betis vs Villarreal
Competition – Spanish Primera
Stadium – Benito Villamarín
Date: 1st July 2020
Kick-off time – 21:00 GMT
In-form Villarreal visit Real Betis in this game hoping to continue their fine recent run of form.
The visitors defeated Valencia 2-0 last time out to make it four wins and a draw from their first five games since the restart.
Real Betis on the other hand, lost their last game 4-2 to Levante in what was their third loss in five games and they have won just one of those matches.
The home side is stuck in mid-table and it is just 11 points that separate them from the relegation zone. While they would consider themselves safe from relegation, they won’t want to keep on losing games.
Villarreal has recovered from a poor start to the season and they are chasing down Sevilla for the last Champions League place.
Only three points separates them from fourth position but they are also being challenged by Getafe for that position and they would be keen to get another win in this game.
Although they have generally struggled recently, Betis are unbeaten in their last four home games and they even beat Real Madrid in one of those matches.
They will look to keep that record intact here too.
