The Spanish top flight action rolls on on Sunday morning and we start the day off with a clash between Celta Vigo and Real Betis as the betting tips continue at the Abanca-Balaídos with Celta Vigo desperate to pull themselves out of their current slump…
Celta Vigo Prediction
The hosts have lost three of their last four matches in La Liga with defeats to Getafe, Levante and Eibar, and have taken just one point from the last possible 12 on offer thanks to a 0-0 draw away at Deportivo Alaves.
Of course, three away matches from the last four doesn’t help either, so Celta Vigo will be keen to return to their Abanca-Balaídos ground where they’ll feel they have the best opportunity to pick up further valuable points in this encounter in order to pull away from the relegation zone.
Celta Vigo possess a slender two point cushion above the bottom three ahead of this important clash with Real Betis, but having recorded just one win from their last five matches on home turf, which was a 1-0 win over Sevilla, backing the hosts for the straight win would seem pure folly.
Recent defeats to Athletic Bilbao, Valencia and Levante, the latter being a heavy 4-1 loss, further confirms not to back Celta Vigo here on the 1X2 markets, but backing both teams to score looks promising…
Key-Facts – Celta Vigo v Real Betis
- Celta Vigo have scored in 11 of their 13 home matches to date in La Liga
- Real Betis are just 1 point adrift of 6th placed Sevilla and the Europa League spot
- 6 of the last 7 meetings between these two sides have seen both teams score
Real Betis Prediction
Real Betis sit in the top half of La Liga but have dropped down to 8th place following last week’s 2-1 loss at home to Getafe which have been amongst some mixed results for the visitors in recent weeks as they’ve registered wins against Atletico Madrid and Real Valladolid but have also lost to Leganes and Getafe.
Form away from home has also been sporadic for Real Betis who possess an inconsistent away record of 4-2-6 12/15 with recent wins at Espanyol and Real Valladolid but also defeats at Huesca, Athletic Bilbao and Leganes.
The visitors will fancy their chances though of returning to winning ways against lowly and relegation threatened Celta Vigo here on Sunday, and the visitors know that all three points here would see them really put pressure on 6th placed Sevilla who are just one point ahead of Real Betis.
Therefore, there’s plenty of incentive for Real Betis to go on the front foot here, and with the goalscoring midfield of Canales (6 goals), Lo Celso (5 goals) and Jiaquin (4 goals) as well as forward Moron (4 goals), they look set to at least hit the back of the net at Celta Vigo.
Betting Tips Verdict
When these two teams meet there’s generally goals on the menu and both teams look set to score here too.
