Prediction: 1-2
Villarreal
Estadio Benito Villamarin will be the centre of attention when Real Betis and Villarreal lock horns on Matchday 28. Los Beticos aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid and the fact that they defeated Athletic Club 3-1 in their last home game is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Sunday’s encounter. Experienced midfielder William Carvalho is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the last league match, while German Pezzella is banned for the match.
As important duo Isco – Nabil Fekir remains on the sidelines, home win should not be considered. The Yellow Submarine, on the other hand, proved their worth in back-to-back wins over Real Sociedad (3-1) and Granada (5-1) and given the number of absentees in the home team, away triumph should be considered. As for the visitors, defender Jorge Cuenca is back from suspension.
Highlighted Player (Willian José):
Well-travelled Brazilian international Willian Jose was born in Porto Calvo and made his first football steps at a local Clube de Regatas. It was at the age of 17 that he was snapped by Gremio Barueri where he made 26 league appearances and scored six goal in his first – and only – senior season at the club.
In 2011, Willian Jose moved to Deportivo Maldonado but his five-year stint with the Uruguay outfit was marked by no less than seven different loan spells, one of which was to La Liga heavyweights Real Madrid. Standing at 186cm tall, Willian Jose is a notable presence in the box. This powerful centre forward will use his physicality to hold up ball and bring his teammates into play.
The Brazilian international did well to make a name for himself in Spain by playing for Zaragoza and Las Palmas, respectively, before he sealed a permanent move to Real Sociedad in 2016. A member of both FIFA U-20 World Cup and South American Youth Championship winning sides with Brazil in 2011, Willian Jose has not been given a chance to prove his worth at the senior level with Selecao.
Highlighted Team (Villarreal):
