Prediction: 1-1
Betis
Villarreal and Real Betis square off against each other at Estadio de la Ceramica in what is expected to be a thrilling La Liga opener. The Yellow Submarine aim to recover from a massive 4-0 pre-season defeat to Newcastle United, but Sunday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. A man to watch in the home team will be summer signing Ben Brereton Diaz, while both Raul Albiol and Francis Coquelin are sidelined with injuries.
Los Beticos, on the other hand, were struggling in front of goal in warm-up games, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on under 2.5 goals. In their last encounter in La Liga the two sides played out a 1-1 draw and yet another low-scoring affair is on the cards. Real Betis chiefs have not made too many changes to the squad in the summer transfer window. Both William Carvalho and Nabil Fekir miss out with injuries.
