Prediction: 2-1
Betis
Villarreal and Real Betis square off against each other at Estadio de la Ceramica in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Sunday’s program. The Yellow Submarine aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Athletic Club and they are likely to go all guns blazing at los Beticos. Gerard Moreno should recover in time to face Real Betis, while Diego Conde has joined the likes of Nicolas Pepe, Juan Foyth, Alfonso Pedraza, and Ramon Terrats in the treatment room. Santi Comesana is banned for the match.
The Andalusians, on the other hand, did well to hold league leaders Barcelona to a 2-2 draw at the weekend, but given their difficulties at the back, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in the round 17 clash. The likes of Johnny, Nobel Mendy, Marc Roca, and William Carvalho are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Nicolas Pépé):
Born in France to parents of Ivorian descent, Nicolas Pepe became a full Ivory Coast international in 2016. In a symbolic twist of events, Pepe was handed his Ivory Coast debut in a goalless draw against his birth nation France days after receiving his first-ever call-up.
Pepe began his career in the lower leagues in Poitiers in 2012, before moving to Angers a year later. Having proven his qualities in the second-string side, Pepe was instated in Angers’ first team in 2013. Four years later – which included a season-long loan spell at Orleans – Nicolas Pepe was transferred to Lille. Les Dogues beat several sides to the signature of this pacey winger who is no stranger to scoring goals. Quick with his feet, Pepe can be deployed on the right wing and as a centre-forward.
The Ivory Coast international is unpredictable in his movement and not easy to keep an eye on, especially because of his powerful left foot.
