Betis:
Betis has come to end winning a streak of 3 consecutive defeats in the Santander League, a victory on the last day against Osasuna (0-2) that allows it to break with a dynamic in which it had lost in a row against Eibar (0-2), Athletic Bilbao (4-0) and Barcelona (5-2). Previously he had also managed to beat Elche (3-1).
As a local, Betis has been defeated in 3 of their last 4 games (1 victory), poor results that force them to try to win this day not only to improve their feelings at home, but also to have a chance to get into the European positions from which it is 1 point away (Seville, 6th).

Ranked 8th with 15 points after 12 days played.
At home, they have 2 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses with 7 goals in favor and 9 against.

Villarreal arrives registering a streak of 9 consecutive games without losing in the Santander League (4 wins and 5 draws), an unbeatable dynamic in which we can highlight their last 3 draws at home against Elche (0-0) and Real Madrid (1-1) and out against Real Sociedad (1-1). On the other hand, in the Europa League they have qualified as 1st in the group despite having postponed their last game against Qarabag.
As a visitor, Villarreal has drawn in 3 of their last 4 games (1 victory), so they face this day with the intention of once again adding a victory away from home that will allow them to remain in the Champions League positions (3rd), already which is located with only 3 points of advantage over Cádiz (5th), its main pursuer right now.
