Villareal vs Real Betis

9/12- Villareal, currently second in the league on the basis of points they are tied with Barca while their opponents and second last on the points table and this explains the tale of two teams. The home side is fighting for the esteemed title and the visitors are fighting to maintain their spot in the top Spanish league. This is what adds spice to this encounter, Real Betis have experienced the change in coaches with the exit of Hector Cuper and the entry of the youth coach Francisco Chaparro to work with the side till the end of the season. This could be something that can work in favour of Betis as well as possibly a new coach could bring a new look to the squad and  raise the players’ moral as well, something that Betis desperately need.

 

Villareal though standing high in the league are entering this match after two very disappointing games, first a home tie against a team like Almeria followed by an away loss to Valladolid and hence to ensure that they do not get into a losing habit will have to convert this tie against Real Betis into full points as leaders Real Madrid have already moved 7 points away from them. The great news for the home crowd and clun is that their top striker Rossi would be back on the field and this probably can be the factor that can change the club fortune and bring them back to winning ways.

 

Real Betis’ problems are far from over as they will be playing without Pavonne, Doblas, Vega and company while they would be expecting some more goals from Sobis who is the club’s leading scorer this season. Betis have not managed a single away win this season and this seems to be unlikely as well and even a solo point from this match would be a satisfactory result for the new coach

 

Prediction: 3-0, Villareal win
