Villarreal welcome Real Betis to the Estadio de la Cerámica on Monday night, and this Spanish Primera Division fixture has the makings of an open, goal-friendly affair.
The hosts sit down in 18th in the LaLiga table, with Iñigo Pérez in charge after being presented on a three-year deal in June, and they need points at home to steady things.
Real Betis arrive in far healthier shape, sitting seventh in both the standings and the form table, and they get key men Antony and Cucho Hernández back from injury for this trip.
Recent meetings have been lively, with Villarreal seeing over 2.5 goals in each of their last three home games against Betis in all competitions, so both sides fancy their attacking chances here.
Villarreal vs Real Betis Form
Villarreal come into this one 18th in the table and 18th for form, which tells its own story. They are dangerous going forward, attacking down the wings and good at coming back from losing positions, but the defending is the problem, with individual errors and protecting a lead both real weak spots. Gerard Moreno and Georges Mikautadze carry the goal threat up top.
Betis look the more settled side, seventh in the standings and seventh for form. They are built on counter attacks, stealing the ball and threatening from set pieces, and they get Antony and Cucho Hernández back from injury. Isco pulls the strings in the engine room, while Antony has been a menace out wide, testing goalkeepers regularly.

Villarreal vs Real Betis Bet Builder
Our four-leg Villarreal vs Real Betis bet builder tips backs Antony over 3.5 shots, Alberto Moleiro anytime goalscorer, Carlos Romero to be shown a card and over 3.5 goals in an open contest.
Antony is Betis' primary wide threat and loves a shot at goal, with over 3.5 shots landing in each of his last four outings, making him a solid first leg.
Alberto Moleiro has scored in three of his last four appearances against Betis in LaLiga, so backing the attacking midfielder to find the net again is well founded.
Carlos Romero has been carded in three of his last four appearances against Betis in LaLiga, and with direct runners to deal with, another booking is on the cards.
Over 3.5 goals completes the ticket, with that line landing in three of Villarreal's last four matches and both these sides carrying real attacking intent.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 50/1 and is as short as 28/1 elsewhere.

Villarreal vs Real Betis Talking Points
This is a big early test of the new era at the Estadio de la Cerámica, with Iñigo Pérez saying at his presentation that he faces the role with the utmost responsibility and excitement. Sitting 18th, the hosts badly need a home win, and their habit of shipping goals through individual errors sits awkwardly against a Betis side seventh in the table and dangerous on the counter. Getting Antony and Cucho Hernández back gives the visitors extra teeth, and with over 2.5 goals landing in each of Villarreal's last three home games against Betis, both defences look like being tested.
