Real Betis - Celta de Vigo predictions

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Celta de Vigo. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

Celta is a team that doesn't shy away from a challenge and we anticipate them giving their all in this matchup.

While Real Betis can’t exactly be happy with their 3:2 loss in the previous round, a narrow defeat after an undecided first half isn’t too bad. After all, they were considered hard underdogs and played as visitors against Girona .

Celta De Vigo failed to snag a decisive victory in the previous round’s home game against Rayo Vallecano despite the favourable betting odds and home-field advantage. Records show that the two teams were largely neck-to-neck throughout the showdown, which ended in a rather disappointing 0:0.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

Team from Vigo are performing rather sub-par whenever they play away. For instance, they have more than 5 conceded goals spread over their most recent 3 away games.

The away team are placed fairly low as number 17th in the standings, and they’re not likely to win any points in this game either. For now, their only goal is staying out of the relegation zone, though the competition can get fierce this late in the season.

Despite the 2.23 price for a home win, the hosts lost their previous match against The Sky Blues. However, it’s important to keep in mind that they were the visitors in that bout.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Marc Roca, Bartra, Cédric Bakambu, Chimy Ávila. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Kevin Vázquez, Joseph Aidoo, Williot Swedberg, Luca De La Torre, Carlos Dotor, Mihailo Ristić. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 2.02 if you use the 888Sport sportsbook.
