Villarreal, while a capable side, have been inconsistent on the road this season, often struggling to maintain their intensity away from home. This makes the -0.25 Asian Handicap a sensible pick. It offers insurance; a draw results in half your stake back, minimizing potential losses while still providing a decent payout if Betis win.
For those feeling bolder, consider pushing the line to -0.5 for potentially higher odds, but be aware that this eliminates the refund on a draw. Ultimately, the -0.25 offers a good balance of risk and reward, reflecting Betis's superior home form and overall stability compared to Villarreal's away-day woes. Don't overlook the potential for set-pieces either; Betis have proven dangerous in these situations, adding another layer to their attacking threat.
