Real Betis vs Villarreal
Spanish La Liga
Date: Tuesday, 4th March 2017
Kick-off at 20:30 UK / 21:30 CET
Venue: Estadio Benito Villamarin (Sevilla).

Villarreal are in search for some inspiration as they prepare for a difficult trip to visit Estadio Benito Villamarin to face Real Betis for Tuesday’s Spanish La Liga clash. Meanwhile, Betis count on the home advantage to accumulate valuable points to move away from the relegation zone.
Real Betis

Betis dropped 1 spot in the league table and moved to 14th after their 1-2 away defeat at Espanyol on Saturday. They have a 9 point cushion over the relegation zone, but safety is far from guaranteed at the moment.

Their recent form is poor after managing just 2 wins from the last 12 matches, with 4 draws, 6 losses. The wins during the period came against extremely poor teams – Osasuna and Malaga.
Villarreal CF

They Yellow Submarines squandered a goal lead and fell to a 2-3 defeat at home to Eibar on the weekend, to suffer their first back-to-back league defeat since November.

The poor run has already done damages to their Europa League qualification hopes. They are 6th in the table, the last Europa League spot with three teams below them at a 5 point gap.

Villarreal had done pretty well in away games so far this season. They were beaten thrice from the 14 games so far and picked up 5 wins and 5 draws to become the 6th best away side in the league. Their defense has been water tight and let in just 8 goals during the period.
Real Betis vs Villarreal: Head-to-head

The Yellow Submarines earned a 2-0 win when the teams met at the Estadio de la Ceramica for the La Liga clash early this season.

Villarreal can boast of a four match unbeaten run against Betis, but the three matches down the line are draws.

Betis are unbeaten in the latest four home games against Villarreal with 2 wins and 2 draws. But the Yellow Submarines had 2 wins and a draw from the previous three.
Real Betis vs Villarreal: Prediction

This can be seen as a match between two teams in poor shape at the moment, despite their position at the opposite end of the table.

Villarreal’s main strength is their defense, which is now getting breached with much ease. Real Betis are capable of scoring goals at home and failed just twice in to do so in the last 11 games. Meanwhile, they have seven cleans sheets during the period. This could be a home win, piling further pressure on Villarreal in their race for European football.
