Real Betis

Real Betis is without a win so far this season and just lost back-to-back matches against Barcelona and Real Madrid. However, that does not tell the whole story. The Andalusians came back from two goals down against Barcelona last Wednesday before losing out to a late Eidur Gudjohnsen strike, and also came back from a goal down at home to Real Madrid at the weekend, only to lose out once more as Ruud Van Nistelrooy netted in added time. The Andalusians now face a tough trip to on-form Villarreal, but will be boosted by the return from injury of Achille Emana. Juanma, Edu and Mark Gonzalez have also shaken off their respective knocks and should feature against Villarreal, but Sergio Garcia is suspended.
