Real Betis v Villarreal Predictions for Saturday's La Liga fixture at Estadio Benito Villamarin. Fifth-placed Villarreal travel to the unpredictable Betis on the back of five wins and a draw from their last six matches. ‘El Submarino’ are putting continued pressure on Real Madrid in the battle for fourth place at the moment - can they make a serious challenge? - according to FlashScore.
Speaking of goals, Betis usually deliver. Despite their position in the table (13th), only five teams have scored more - and only Deportivo la Coruna have conceded more! In total, Betis’ games this season average an incredible 3.8 goals.
To stem the tide of conceded goals, Betis have signed a big name this transfer window in Spanish international Marc Bartra. The experienced defender tried to comfort the Betis fans from the get-go, stating “I’m coming to help”, in his first press conference.
Players to watch: Villarreal will look to their experienced striker Carlos Bacca (six goals, four assists) to deliver the goods after recently losing their star striker Cedric Bakambu earlier in January (a free agent, awaiting a big-money move to the Chinese Super League).
In Antonio Sanabria’s absence (knee injury), Sergio Leon has been the one to watch for Betis. He has seven goals to his name this season and scored in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
