Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Villarreal and Real Betis face each other in a highly-anticipated La Liga game at Estadio de la Ceramica. The Yellow Submarine head into the match following a goalless draw with Real Madrid, but they are surely capable of beating los Beticos at home ground. Since key attacker Gerard Moreno should be fit for Sunday’s clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Unai Emery’s troops, who have been producing fine displays in La Liga ever since Dani Parejo returned to the starting XI.
Both Juan Foyth and Samuel Chukwueze remain in the recovery room. The Andalusians, on the other hand, recorded a routine 2-0 win over Getafe in their last league match. Real Betis, though, suffered four defeats in the previous five meetings with Villarreal at Estadio de la Ceramica, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. All Victor Ruiz Torre, Youssouf Sabaly, and Diego Lainez miss out with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Ramiro Funes Mori):
Argentina isn’t known to produce great talents in defence but Ramiro Jose Funes Mori is an exception. The 25-year-old started his football career in the United States with FC Dallas. He won an MLS talent competition to get into their youth team but it was less than a year before he moved back to Argentina.
Mori joined River Plate as a youth player in 2008 and progressed to their senior team within three years. The young defender is nothing short of a club legend at River Plate having won six titles with the team. More than the titles and his performances, it was his performances in important games that is still vividly remembered.
His iconic goal against Boca Juniors is still part of the folklore. Mori joined English Premier League club Everton in 2015 and soon established himself as a regular there. Mori represented Argentina seven times and yet to score in national colors.
