Villarreal Team News
In their last friendly match, Villarreal suffered a 4-0 defeat against Newcastle away from home. The hosts took the lead as early as the sixth minute, and the remaining three goals were scored in the second half. After those goals, the visiting team couldn’t manage to mount a comeback in terms of the scoreline.
Having played seven preparatory matches, they secured only one victory along with two draws and four losses. In the previous season’s league competition, they finished in the fifth position with 64 points earned, seven less than the fourth-placed Real Sociedad.
Villarreal has been without the services of two first-team players due to injuries, with Raul Albiol and Francis Coquelin sidelined due to long-term knee problems.
There are expected to be debutants in the home side’s starting lineup on Sunday, with Alexander Sorloth likely to play a role in the attacking third, while Ramon Terrats and Matteo Gabbia could also begin the match. Additionally, Gerard Moreno is anticipated to be included in the team, while Yeremy Pino should also play an advanced role, potentially leaving Brereton Diaz and Illias Akhomach on the bench.

Betis Team News
In their last friendly match, Real Betis lost to Real Sociedad with a score of 0-1. According to all statistical parameters, Betis was the weaker opponent in this clash, with the only goal being scored in the 69th minute, after which the score remained unchanged.
Before that encounter, they played five more preparatory matches, achieving one victory, one draw, and three losses. In the previous season, they finished the league competition in sixth place with 60 points earned, seven more than seventh-placed Osasuna.
Real Betis will be without William Carvalho in the upcoming match due to a calf problem, and Nabil Fekir is still sidelined for the Greens due to a long-term knee injury. Coach Manuel Pellegrini will be reluctant to immediately introduce a series of his new signings into the starting lineup, but Ayoze Perez was with the team last season on loan, while Hector Bellerin and Marc Bartra are familiar with the club.
Marc Roca could benefit from Carvalho’s absence to play in the central midfield, while Bellerin, Bartra, and Perez are in line for positions in the first XI.
Notable departures from the club have been recorded this summer, with Sergio Canales, Edgar Gonzalez, Joaquin, and Victor Ruiz among those who have departed.

Villarreal vs Betis Prediction
Villarreal is a slight favorite in this match, but they are in poor form, and we doubt that they will easily secure a victory. On the other hand, Betis has also shown some poor performances during the preparation period, and in our opinion, the most likely outcome of this clash is a draw.
