Real Betis vs Villarreal Predictions

• Villarreal are winless against the top six and they’ve lost three of four visits to the top eight
• Betis have won six of their last seven La Liga games
• The hosts have won four of their last five at their own ground

Showdown between Champions League hopefuls

With La Liga’s Champions League spots set to stretch to fifth this term, Sunday’s clash between sixth-placed Real Betis and fifth-placed Villarreal is huge. The pair are level on 48 points, with Betis putting together a brilliant stretch of form to reel in the Yellow Submarine.

Betis have won six of their last seven La Liga games following a 1-1 draw at leaders Barcelona last weekend. They returned to winning ways in midweek, seeing off Jagiellonia Bialystok in the Conference League.

Betis have now won four of their last five home games and they look well-priced against a Villarreal side who have struggled in big games this term. The visitors are winless against the top six, including a 2-1 home defeat to Betis earlier in the campaign.

The visitors have lost three of their four visits to the top eight, while Betis have been strong in big games. The hosts have lost only once against the sides above them, including winning at home to Real and Atletico, while they’ve held Barca to draws both home and away.

With Betis in brilliant form, back them to edge another big game.
