Real Betis will be looking to put pressure on the sides above them in La Liga this weekend by landing a third win in five matches. Villarreal will be the visitors this weekend after winning each of their previous two matches in the league.
La Liga Preview
The race for a European spot in Spain’s top flight continues this weekend, as Real Betis bid to put their recent defeat behind them. The home side come into this round of matches after winning two of their last four, while their most recent defeat was their only loss over their previous five. A victory on Sunday could see them end the round within five points of the top five.
Villarreal come into this weekend in excellent recent form after winning each of their last two fixtures in the Spanish top-flight. Meanwhile, they have avoided defeat in each of their previous five, playing out draws on three occasions over that period. A win this weekend would see them edge nearer to the top half of the standings.
Betis were edged out in their previous fixture against Atletico Madrid, but they haven’t suffered defeats in successive matches in the competition since April 2023. It could be interesting to note that their first defeat in that sequence was also suffered against Atletico.
Villarreal have avoided defeat in each of their last seven matches in the competition, which is an excellent recent to form after losing four from five. However, the visiting side this weekend haven’t avoided defeat in eight straight matches in La Liga since December 2020. Meanwhile, Villarreal have lost four of their last eight away matches in the Andalusian region.
Real Betis vs Villarreal Head to Head
Betis haven’t lost in their previous three matches against Villarreal, which marks their longest unbeaten run in this fixture since January 2016. Over that period, Betis have recorded two wins. However, Betis have lost two of their last four home matches against Villarreal in the league.
Real Betis vs Villarreal Prediction
Both teams bring some strong form to the table in this fixture on Sunday. But, it could be worth taking a chance on Villarreal maintaining their excellent recent run. Their chances are certainly boosted based on the fact that they have suffered just two defeats in their last four away matches against Betis.
