Current streaks

Recent form

Villarreal CF

Villarreal CF's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the team experiencing a noticeable decline after a promising start. The Yellow Submarine have failed to secure a victory in their last four matches across all competitions, suffering two consecutive losses in their most recent outings. Despite their current 5th position in La Liga, their form has been inconsistent, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six games. The team's attacking prowess is evident, averaging an impressive 2.17 goals per game, with a particularly high-scoring 6-1 victory against Poblense in the Copa del Rey. However, their defensive record has room for improvement, conceding 1.33 goals per game and managing only one clean sheet in this period. Interestingly, 67% of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting that Villarreal's games tend to be entertaining affairs for neutrals.

Real Betis

Real Betis have been experiencing a challenging period in their recent matches, with only one win in their last six outings. Their defensive frailties are evident, having conceded 13 goals in these games and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last nine matches. The team's matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. Notably, Betis have been involved in two 4-goal thrillers, drawing 2-2 with both Barcelona and RC Celta. Their most convincing performance came in the Copa del Rey, where they secured a 3-1 victory against Sant Andreu. However, Betis are currently on a concerning run of three consecutive defeats in La Liga and the Europa Conference League, which has contributed to their mid-table position of 11th in the league.

The team's goal-scoring ability remains a bright spot, averaging 2.17 goals per match, with 67% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals. Their high-scoring encounter against Valencia, which ended in a 4-2 defeat, highlights both their offensive capabilities and defensive vulnerabilities. Despite their recent struggles, Betis have managed to find the net in 83% of these away fixtures, suggesting they pose a consistent attacking threat even on the road.
