Betis-Villarreal is a match valid for the 28th day of La Liga and is played Sunday at 9 p.m.: TV, formations and predictions
After last week’s defeat at Atletico Madrid, Mauricio Pellegrini’s Betis has to get back on track. European cup qualification for next season depends on it. And the Andalusian green-and-whites host a Villarreal side that returned shattered from the Marseille trip (4-0 final) and has no chance of turning things around next Thursday.
Now, soccer of such miracles has also given us a couple of resounding ones, but this does not seem to be the case. Certainly the travel and the physical and mental fatigue accumulated during the match in France will affect this one in La Liga. And no doubt the hosts, who came out in the playoffs instead, are fresher. Beyond that, however, there is also a league table that clearly indicates one thing: Betis is far stronger than the visiting team and at home has conceded very little this season. And this will be the case again, we cannot have any doubt.
Also because Villarreal in the league really has no ambition. Far from the red zone, far from the European one. In short, the thoughts a little will be on next Thursday’s match, and so the factor will help Betis even more in their intent to take the three points.
The Prediction
Home victory match in a match of at least three goals overall. A match without history the one in Andalusia, Betis will take the three points and dismiss the defeat on the field of Atletico Madrid as an accident of the road.
