On Saturday afternoon, Celta Vigo will look to move closer to securing their La Liga status when they host Real Betis at the Abanca-Balaidos.
Celta Vigo are currently five points clear of the relegation zone in the Spanish top-flight. They were in decent league form until a 5-1 hammering at 18th place Real Mallorca brought the Galicians back down to earth. The result kept Mallorca’s survival hopes alive.
Celta need to bounce back in this clash, as they still have work to do to maintain their position in La Liga for next season. The defeat against Mallorca ended a four-game unbeaten run in the Spanish top-flight for Oscar Garcia’s team.
The home side has built their recent good results on solid defensive displays, as they have kept clean sheets in six of their previous nine league games. They will be hoping the result last time out was just an unfortunate one-off.
Celta have been slightly inconsistent on home soil in La Liga of late. However, they have been relatively hard to beat at the Abanca-Balaidos, losing just one of their last nine home matches.
Real Betis are 13th place in La Liga after an underwhelming campaign. A recent run of just two wins in their last 13 league matches has killed off any hope the visitors had of making a late challenge for the European spots. They are also eight points clear of the bottom three.
A 2-0 home defeat by Villarreal means that Alexis Trujillo’s team has suffered defeat in three of their last four matches in La Liga.
Betis have been travel-sick in recent months, as they have failed to win in nine La Liga matches on their travels.
Forebet predicts that neither team will get back to winning ways, but instead this game will produce a high-scoring draw.
