AYoze Pérez will be the main protagonist of the match after his controversial departure from Betis last season. Everything indicates that the former green and white player will return to the starting team after having played a few minutes against Athletic. At Betis Isco is aiming for the bench although, as was the case against Barcelona, he will have minutes throughout the game.
How Villarreal arrives
After a great start to the championship, Villarreal has entered a slump in results in which it has now added four consecutive games without winning and which, in the middle, has cost it elimination from the cup against Pontevedra. That is why the yellows come into this matchday under pressure if they do not want to see how fourth place begins to slip away. One more day Marcelino will continue to deal with an infirmary that does not give him respite and that has now claimed new 'victims': Diego Conde and Logan Costa.
How Betis arrives
After their long-suffering victory in Moldova to get their situation back on track in the Conference, Pellegrini's men face this duel against one of their direct rivals in LaLiga with renewed air, recovering Cardoso for the double pivot, with Lo Celso, absent due to suspension in Europe I return to La Cerámica a year and a half later, and with one more week of work for Isco, in search of his set-up. Adding to stay within reach of continental positions is the objective despite the long list of absences due to injury.
The duel of the match
Ayoze vs Vitor Roque. Villarreal has scored seven goals in just over 500 minutes. Villarreal's top scorer and a reference in attack for the yellow team, who have not been able to count on him as much as they would have liked due to injuries. Vitor Roque has three goals with Betis. He hasn't scored in three league games.
The match forecast
Villarreal 2-2 Betis
Great game in La Cerámica with a difficult forecast. Villarreal's streak is not good and it is true that in their stadium they have only won three games out of seven, but Betis away from home in the League have only managed to win once.
