Villarreal
- Villarreal CF have won 0, drawn 0 and lost 1 of their 1 home match in LaLiga 2026/2027.
- With 2 points from their opening 4 games and a recent 2-game losing streak, Villarreal are already 17th, so coach Iñigo Pérez is already under pressure.
- Villarreal's start to the 2026/2027 campaign has been poor to mixed, but they can still get a result on Monday against Betis, who have been inconsistent in their own right.
Real Betis
- Real Betis are the form team in LaLiga 2026/2027, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last 5, compared to Villarreal's record of 1-2-2.
- Real Betis have won 1 and lost 1 of their 2 away league games in 2026/2027.
- Betis have beaten Valencia 1-0 away, lost 5-2 at Levante and then sneaked a 1-0 win against Real Madrid in 2026/2027.
Head-to-Head
The head-to-head record between these sides has been very even, with each team winning 2 of the last 5 meetings, and there being 1 draw.
Key Players
Nicolas Pepe has 2 goals in 4 in 2026/2027 for Villarreal and is their main man to worry about, while Rodrigo Riquelme, with the same stats, is Betis' top scorer.
Betting Insights
- With El Submarino Amarillo (the Yellow Submarine) in poor form and Los Verdiblancos (the Green and Whites) enjoying a strong start to the 2026/2027 LaLiga season, the oddsmakers make Villarreal 1.9 favourites for this Monday's clash at Estadio de la Ceramica.
- Although Villarreal are favourites here, we're not so sure and will take the 3.65 about the visitors to either win or draw in the double chance bet.
- Both teams to score at 1.57 and over 2.5 goals at 1.65 are both slightly better than even odds considering Villarreal have scored 2 goals in 1 home match in 2026/2027 and Betis average 1.50 goals scored and 2.50 goals conceded away from home.
Prediction
- Both teams have found the net, so we're not expecting a cagey affair in Spain's south-east on Monday.
- Villarreal may be in poor form but they have been bolder in 2026/2027, so we're expecting a much faster pace to the game than last season, when Betis were almost impenetrable.
