Real Betis Preview – Can Real Betis return home with win?
Real Betis registered a 2-0 win away at basement dwellers, Huesca, last time out in the Spanish top flight and they’ll now head back to their Estadio Benito Villamarín where they’ll prepare for the forthcoming visit of Celta Vigo with both teams keen to lift themselves further up in the top half of La Liga.
It’s been a stop-start season for Real Betis so far as the hosts occupy a mid-table position of 10th place which reflects their inconsistent results so far this season and this has been the case with results at home as well.
An overall home record of 3-2-3 10/11 underlines Real Betis’s inconsistent streak but five of Real Betis’s eight home matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals, so the goals market appeals here.
Celta Vigo Preview – Can Celta Vigo avoid third loss on trot?
Wednesday night’s visitors, Celta Vigo, will make their way to face Real Betis on the back of two straight defeats in recent weeks following losses against Real Madrid 2-0 away and a heavy 4-0 loss at home to Villarreal.
Celta Vigo had previously put together a decent run of six matches without defeat which included five wins and a draw and this impressive sequence of results has helped Celta Vigo up into 9th place on the Spanish top flight ladder.
However, Celta Vigo have struggled for wins on the road in La Liga for some time as the visitors have picked up just the one win out of their last 12 matches overall, while nine of these 12 away matches also saw under 2.5 goals scored.
