La Liga
Betis progressed in the cup after a home 2:1 win over Elche on Wednesday. In La Liga, they have won only once in the last five rounds and are sixth, with three of their four losses so far coming at home. Two of those were against other top 4 teams – Atletico and Barcelona, and now they host the third-placed Villarreal.
Seven wins in the last eight roundsVillarreal is firmly in third place. They returned to winning ways immediately after the loss to Barcelona a month ago. They have seven wins in their last eight league matches. They also won their last four away games in La Liga, with the latest being a 3:1 victory over Elche, handing them their first home loss of the season.
Prediction: Both teams to score, X2 double chanceTwo decent teams, but Villarreal has been performing better recently, and I think they won't lose. I expect Betis to put up a fight and perhaps score a goal, as both teams scored in their last six encounters.
