The Spanish top flight action returns in the New Year and features the upcoming clash between Real Betis and Celta Vigo at the Estadio Benito Villamarín with the hosts looking to bounce back from defeat just before Christmas.
A week before Christmas, Real Betis were handed a 3-2 loss away from home at Athletic Bilbao but the hosts had previously strung together four league wins on the trot in La Liga which consisted of victories over Elche 3-0, Levante 3-1, Barcelona 1-0 and a 4-0 thrashing of Real Sociedad last time out on home turf at their Estadio Benito Villamarín.
Real Betis still remain in 3rd place in the Spanish top flight standings thanks to this recent flurry of wins and hold a comfortable four-point cushion over 5th placed Atletico Madrid prior to this opening match of 2022.
Form at home has also been solid for Real Betis as they’ve won 5, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their nine home games to date in this season’s campaign, while the bigger picture shows that Real Betis have lost just two of their last 17 home games.
Celta Vigo bring some fairly inconsistent form into this upcoming clash away from home at Real Betis as the visitors have picked up just two wins out of their last eight matches overall in the domestic top flight.
These wins came in the form of victories against Alaves and Espanyol who both occupy places in the bottom half of La Liga while also losing at home to Real Sociedad and Valencia as well.
League wins have been accumulated on a sporadic basis though where Celta Vigo have been concerned as the visitors have managed to win just five out of their last 19 matches overall in La Liga.
Celta Vigo have performed better and more consistently on the road though as they’ve suffered just the two losses from their previous 10 games on their travels which were at Real Madrid and Elche, but they also failed to score in four of these 10 away matches as well.
However, it’s in the head-to-head stakes where the real difference between these two clubs come to light; Real Betis are unbeaten in each of the previous six meetings against Celta Vigo and the hosts look set to continue this trend here.
