Key Betting Tips

1. Both Teams to Score @ 1.62

Football Park’s model gives BTTS a 60% probability, making it the most reliable betting angle in this fixture. Villarreal have scored in nine of their last ten home games, while Betis have found the net in 12 of their last 14 away matches.

Both sides’ recent meetings back this up — six of the last seven have seen goals for both teams. With creative playmakers and attacking wing-backs on both sides, this is a data-supported selection. Recommended Bet: Both Teams to Score @ 1.62

2. Over 2.5 Match Goals @ 1.73

The Football Park model projects 2.7 expected goals, which aligns closely with both clubs’ attacking profiles. Villarreal’s home matches this season have averaged 3.1 goals, while Betis have conceded at least twice in four of their last five away fixtures.

Given the open nature of previous meetings — including a 1-2 Betis win in December 2024 and a 1-1 draw in 2023 — the Over 2.5 Goals market offers solid value for bettors seeking a moderate-risk, high-reward option. Recommended Bet: Over 2.5 Match Goals @ 1.73
