The Spanish LaLiga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Villarreal and Real Betis lock horns at the Estadio de la Ceramica on Saturday. The Yellow Submarine head into the weekend unbeaten in 11 straight competitive home games since the start of April and will look to extend this impressive streak.
Villareal saw their run of three back-to-back LaLiga victories come to an end just before the international break as they were beaten 3-1 by Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Prior to that, Marcelino’s men were left without a win in their second UEFA Champions League outing on October 1, when they played out a 2-2 draw with Juventus on home turf.
Villareal have picked up five wins and one draw from their eight LaLiga games this season to collect 16 points and sit third in the table, one point and one place above this weekend’s visitors.

Betis now travel to the Estadio de la Ceramica, where they are unbeaten in their last three visits, claiming two wins and one draw since a 2-0 loss in October 2021.
