Forebet’s football predictions focus on Friday’s La Liga offering, as two sides in desperate need of a win prepare to face off at Estadio Benito Villamarin.

Following four straight defeats, eighth-placed Real Betis host 17th-placed Celta Viga, who find themselves just three points outside the relegation zone.

If you’re looking for stats, trends and analysis ahead of Friday’s showdown, we’ve got you covered. Read on to discover what Forebet’s AI algorithm predicts.

It’s fair to say that Real Betis have struggled in recent times, with last weekend’s 3-2 defeat to Girona extending their losing streak to four matches.

To make matters worse for Betis, they have managed to win just one of their previous eight games across all competitions, recording two draws and five defeats in that time.

Still, the hosts can take confidence from their impressive record at Estadio Benito Villamarin, as they have lost only two of their 15 home league games this season.

Having suffered just four defeats in their last 24 home matches in La Liga, Real Betis will be confident of returning to winning ways against relegation-threatened Celta Vigo.

On the flip side, Celta have enjoyed a handful of positive results in recent weeks, losing only one of their previous five league encounters.

Following victories over Almeria and Sevilla in March, Celta Vigo played out a goalless draw with Rayo Vallecano last weekend, although they failed to register a single shot on target.

Celta’s away form is a cause for concern, however, as the visitors have managed to win just two of their last 13 league outings on the road.

Having claimed only three victories in their previous 20 away league games, Celta Vigo will struggle to claim all three points at Estadio Benito Villamarin on Friday.

Head-to-head: Celta Vigo won the reverse fixture 2-1 back in January, meaning they have won each of the past three La Liga meetings between the two sides.

When you look at the bigger picture, Betis have failed to win any of their previous five league games against Celta, suffering four defeats in the process.

Team news: Real Betis’ lengthy injury list contains Chimy Avila, Cedric Bakambu, Marc Bartra, Marc Roca and Youssouf Sabaly.

As for Celta Vigo, they are currently without injured quartet Joseph Aidoo, Carlos Dotor, Mihailo Ristic and Luca de la Torre, while Williot Swedberg is a doubt for Friday.

Although Celta have enjoyed plenty of success in this fixture in recent seasons, Betis will be desperate to buck the trend and return to winning ways.

Forebet predicts that Real Betis and Celta Vigo will share over 2.5 goals, with the hosts outscoring the visitors on this occasion.
