Betis vs Villarreal Prediction: the Hosts Need This Victory

Prediction for the La Liga match between Betis vs Villarreal, which will take place on March 10th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

After being eliminated from the Conference League by Dinamo Zagreb, Betis played two matches in La Liga. They defeated Athletic 3:1 at home and lost 1:2 to Atletico Madrid a week later. Betis occupies fifth place, two points ahead of their nearest pursuer. However, they are 8 points behind fifth Atletico and 13 points behind Atletico. Betis' home record is sixth in the division with a goal difference of 19:10, having won 7, drawn 6, and failed 1. In Sunday's match, Betis will play without Bakambu, Bartra, Pezzella, and Ruibal Garcia, while the participation of Abner and Isco is in doubt.

Villarreal has Albiol, Pedraza, Pino, Suarez, Terrats, and Foyth in the infirmary. Unlike Betis, Villarreal played a UEL playoff match in midweek, failing 0:4 to Marseille away and almost losing their chances for the next round. Before that, the team had won seven consecutive games, including a 3:1 victory over Real Sociedad and a 5:1 victory over Granada. Villarreal is currently in 12th place in the La Liga standings with 32 points, 13 points ahead of the relegation zone and 10 points behind Betis. Their away record is seventh in the division, with a goal difference of 19:25 (+4=4-5).

We back the hosts, as they recently confidently defeated powerful Atletico. On the other hand, Villarreal lacks stability. Additionally, the match will happen between matches against Marseille in the Europa League, and the visitors' chances to secure a place in the UEFA Cup through the championship are close to zero. We believe the home team should have the advantage in this match. We also anticipate a high-scoring game.
