Villarreal vs Real Betis — Tips & Analysis

Over 2.75: Two soft defences meet here, and that is why we want goals. Villarreal's games have been busy all season, with more than 3 goals in them on average and 3 or more goals in 11 of their last 16. At home they score almost 3 goals a game and let in more than a goal a game. The front end works even when the back end does not. They are 18th in La Liga with two points from four games and they have not won in five. Newly promoted Deportivo La Coruna beat them at their own ground. A team that open and that desperate for points does not sit back. Betis are the opposite story and end up in the same place. They have won 8, tied 2 and lost 2 of their last 12, so their results look strong. On the road they let in more than 2 goals a game and they were beaten 5-2 at Levante last month. They score 2 a game away as well, so they will trade blows. A 2-2 is our read, and four goals is exactly what we are after. The caution is the history. These two have averaged under 3 goals across their last 20 meetings, which runs cooler than the current form of both sides. Both have had six days off and may change their lineups. We still want the goals in this one.
