Command Analysis

Villarreal

Spain

Villarreal are in good form, winning five of their last eight games in all competitions. They showed resilience in their last encounter with Osasuna, drawing 2-2 thanks to a penalty in stoppage time. Coach Marcelino has made good use of the depth of the squad to compensate for injuries. The Yellow Submarine have shown an ability to attack effectively in the final stages of games, which could be a decisive factor in the upcoming clash with Real Betis.

Real Betis

Spain

Current form

Los Verdiblancos make the long journey east in poor form, with a 2-2 draw at Barcelona in their last league match meaning they have not won any of their last five La Liga encounters. That has increased the pressure on manager Manuel Pellegrini, whose side have slipped into the bottom half of the table despite being just three points clear of the top six heading into this round. They also enjoyed success in Europe on Thursday, with a 1-0 win at Petrocub allowing Betis to extend their unbeaten run in all competitions to three matches, with both wins coming away from home.

In addition, statistics give high chances for goals to be scored - in the last three face-to-face duels, both clubs distinguished themselves, which we do not exclude today.

Bet on the outcome

Today, both clubs have a chance to succeed. The hosts are in excellent shape and have more chances and support from the stands, while we do not rule out that the "yellow submarine" is able to pull itself together at the right moment. The same can be said about the Sevillians, especially since the team has worked on their mistakes, which may ultimately help them leave Valencia not empty-handed. We assume that it is worth paying attention to the possibility of a peaceful outcome, which has never happened in the opponents' meetings in their entire history.

Prediction - a draw in the match for 3.90

Yellow Card Betting

This fight will most likely not be an exception and may lead to a lot of violations, some of which may be severely condemned by the referee. Moreover, in two of the last four fights, the referee did not show less than four yellow cards.

Forecast - total yellow cards over four. This option can be found for 1.71
