Villarreal take on the visitors Betis in the round 25 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, February 12th at Estadio de la Ceramica (Villarreal).
A little over a month ago, Villarreal were ahead of their opponents in the league table. Now the Yellow Submarine is forced to catch up to the Cucumbers. This is all due to an unsuccessful streak in the championship, with three consecutive losses. However, Villarreal has already broken this streak and gained 6 points in the last two rounds, conceding only one goal. In the next match, the team is quite capable of playing solid defense again. However, Setién's team is not known for scoring a lot of goals. Even against Anderlecht during the week, they only managed a draw with a score of 1-1.

Betis lost their Europa League match against Manchester United without any chance of winning. However, in the domestic championship, things are going well for the Cucumbers. The team has not lost in four consecutive matches, with three victories. If the matches against Almería, Valladolid, and Elche were fairly rich in goals, then in the previous round, Betis played against Real Madrid to a goalless draw. I don't think we should expect many goals in the match against Villarreal away. In the 24th round of La Liga this season, the Cucumbers along with their opponents have scored more than three goals in only four cases.
Both teams had unsuccessful performances in European competitions during the week. Betis was beaten at Old Trafford by Manchester United, while Villarreal only took a draw from their match in Belgium against Anderlecht. Football players are not robots, both teams played away just a few days ago. I think the factor of fatigue will not allow the opponents to score a big number of goals in the head-to-head match. Moreover, judging by the current championship table, the teams are roughly equal in strength. In the last three personal meetings between Villarreal and Betis, less than three goals were scored (2-0, 2-0, 1-0). In the first round of this season on the Cucumbers field, they only managed to score one goal between them. I think in this match, you can take a bet on Under 3 goals with insurance. Although even three goals scored seems unlikely.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
