Villarreal are set to lock horns with Real Betis this Sunday as they host the match at the Estadio de la Ceramica.

Villarreal will be looking to bounce back from their Champions League defeat to Manchester United. This was Villarreal’s first loss across all competitions this season. Unai Emery’s side took the lead early in the second period through Paco Alcace before Alex Telles levelled the scores on the hour with Cristiano Ronaldo coming up with a last-gasp winner for the Red Devils.

Villareal have been the draw guys in the season with 5 draws in their six encounters with only one win against Elche. Last weekend the yellow submarines held Real Madrid to a goalless draw at Barnabeu and this left them 8 points currently at the 12^th position.

Villarreal come to this match having only won one of their last three league matches against Betis, and suffered a 2-1 defeat in the corresponding fixture during the 2020-21 campaign.

Real Betis have been in a fine form this season going unbeaten in the previous five matches. The latest match was the Europa League fixture last Thursday which ended in a 3-1 success at Ferencvaros. Manuel Pellegrini’s side have picked up six points from the two Europa League fixtures and is position two in Group G.

Betis have won three, drawn three and lost one of their seven La Liga matches this season to collect 12 points, currently position 10, and four points ahead of their opponents. Real Betis remain unbeaten in each of their last eight league matches on their travels and come to this match determined to take the points home.
