Real Betis welcome the visitors Villarreal in the Spanish La Liga – Round 31. The match will be held on Sunday, April, 7th, at the Estadio Benito Villamarin (Sevilla).
Real Betis’ football is rather pragmatic. Should they play, say, in Getafe’s manner, they would surely have been one of the main Champions League spots pursuers. The manager Enrique Setien finds his style most effective though, therefore, Betis normally adhere to it. In this respect, ‘Los Verdiblancos’ don’t always please their fans with results, but their performance is continuously inspiring. This season turned somewhat landmark for the team – they hit Barcelona’s possession record (in the clash with Leganes wherein Betis won by a 1:0 scoreline), beat Barcelona at the Camp Nou, 4:3, and dominated in their Europa League group. Betis will hardly manage to reach the Champions League, but they have real chances for the Europa League – Setien and Co need to conquer the football Europe again.

Villarreal keep up fighting for survival in the elite division. The situation is very tough because it is unpredictable – Celta Vigo, Real Valladolid, Rayo Vallecano, Villarreal, Levante, and a number of other contenders may end in the red zone. Villarreal held a brilliant match against Barcelona – Arsenal’s fans might have got hurt, as that was outstanding Santi Cazorla’s individual performance. Though most will remember the great Barcelona require two or three minute-long intensive football to succeed, that was Villarreal’s best fixture this campaign for sure, they looked better than the giants indeed (credit should be given to Cazorla).
Therefore, Betis cannot be labeled clear favorites in the match concerned. After Javier Calleja’s comeback, Villarreal look fine. We expect a tight encounter. Betis will not fairly shutout and will possess a lot (they normally do so under Setien), but Villarreal will also take the initiative (they have Cazorla and a few other cool performers to do so), thus, the match proves to be combative. The only thing that may screw it up is bad conversion. Anyways, we are betting on over 2.5 goals (there are many prerequisites for this choice; moreover, Betis play at home where they are usually much more dominant).
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals.
