Betis Sevilla-Villarreal is a match from matchday five of the Spanish La Liga.
BETIS SEVILLE – VILLARREAL | Sunday 9pm
Both committed to Europe in the middle of the week, both victorious. Betis Sevilla and Villarreal, moreover, have started very well in the league and, above all, the troop led by Emery, still hasn’t conceded a single goal in La Liga. Yes, they did take three from Lech Poznan in the Conference League, and no one perhaps expected that, but in their homeland, the Yellows, who made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League last year, have never had to pick up the ball in the back of the net. The feeling is that on this evening, against Betis, there will be the first time.
Because before last weekend, when the Pellegrini-led side lost 2-1 at Real Madrid – a defeat that is, of course, understandable – they had never known the bitter taste of going home without points. Two teams that, in short, have what it takes to entertain and amuse. With the clear feeling that it could end in a draw with both teams scoring. That would be a point, especially after the exertions in the middle of the week, which would be welcomed by both coaches.

The prediction
Due to the qualities of the two teams that will take the field, the possibility that this challenge could end in a draw is high. A goal apiece for sure, a point apiece almost certain to move up the standings
