We have some exciting matches to look forward to in the Spanish topflight this weekend including the meeting between Real Betis and Villarreal.
The game will take place on Sunday the 6th of January at the Estadio Benito Villamarín and the hosts begin the weekend in 3rd place on 40 points, while the visitors are in 7th place on 32 points.
Real Betis come into this game on the back of an impressive 4-0 win at Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey quarter-final on Thursday night.
Real Sociedad were not without their chances in the game but it was Real Betis who took their opportunities in-front of goal, scoring after only 12 minutes and finding the back of the net 3 times in the second half.
That was the 4th successive victory in all competitions for Real Betis having previously defeated Sevilla 2-1 at home in the Copa del Rey and beat Alaves 4-0 at home in La Liga plus Espanyol 4-1 on the road in the league.
Trends show Real Betis are undefeated in their 6 matches in all competitions and they are unbeaten in 49 of their last 59 games in all competitions, which is an impressive record.
Home form in La Liga shows Real Betis have won 3 of their last 4 league matches and they have scored 3 more goals in all 3 victories.
Villarreal make the trip to the Estadio Benito Villamarín having previously beat Real Mallorca 3-0 at home. Two of the 3 goals came in the first half of the match and that win was the first win in 4 games in all competitions for the Yellow Submarine.
Prior to the win over Real Mallorca, Villarreal were eliminated from the Copa del Rey by Sporting Gijon away from home and lost 1-0 at Elche in La Liga, in addition to a 2-2 draw at home with Atletico Madrid in La Liga.
Trends show Villarreal have not been easy to beat in the league recently and they have not lost a match in 6 of their last 7 games in La Liga.
However, they have recorded just a single victory from their 11 most recent away league matches and have conceded goals in each of their last 6 on the road.
Looking ahead to the team news and Real Betis have doubts over the fitness of goalkeeper Claudio Bravo and defender Martin Montoya.
Villarreal are expected to be without the injured quartet of Yéremi Pinom, Gerard Moreno, Juan Foyth, and Paco Alcácer. Ruben Peña and Francis Coquelin could also miss out.
Real Betis have been scoring goals for fun of late and we expect to see them find the back of the net in this game. However, Villarreal are tough opposition and could score goals themselves in what has the makings of being a highly entertaining match, with the points being shared.
