Real Betis face Villarreal at Estadio Benito Villamarin what is expected to be an entertaining La Liga clash, with 2-2 our predicted outcome. Los Beticos are dealing with a few absences after Cucho Hernandez and Angel Ortiz limped off in the 1-1 FA Cup draw with Oviedo, joining Isco on the sidelines. Abde Ezzalzouli and Sofyane Amrabat are on international duty, but Cedric Bakambu returns to the squad. Despite the absences, Betis have been in solid form (dwwld), boasting a 60% win rate overall and scoring 2.20 goals per match. At home, they are even more potent, netting 3.00 goals per game and keeping clean sheets in 33% of matches.
Villarreal, on the other hand, head into the closing match of Saturday's program after a 3-1 win over Alaves, with no new injury concerns. Their form is mixed (lllww), and they have scored 1.70 goals per match overall, but have been vulnerable defensively, conceding 1.70 per game. BTTS is a feature in 70% of Villarreal’s games, and recent H2H trends favour goals, with 81% of meetings producing over 1.5 goals.
Given Real Betis' excellent home record and attacking potential, Home Win should be considered, alongside Over 2.5 goals and BTTS (Both teams’ averages and H2H support multiple goals).
This Primera Division match will be played on Saturday 17 January 2026 at 20:00.
