Betis vs Celta prediction and betting tips on April 12, 2024
Game Prediction
On Friday, national championships will again take over the football baton in the European tournament format. Traditionally, the Spanish Primera will be among those rushing to open the round. Moreover, it was decided to start with a fairly high-status couple: Betis versus Celta. Both clubs, which are not having the best season, need points, although the tasks remain different. Who will be able to achieve the goal in Seville? The expert department of the website has shared a prediction for this match on April 12, 2024.
Betis can only defend 7th place in the final table
“The Greens” have always been quite ambitious. And it’s not for nothing that they pulled off the most expensive transfer in history once. It is remarkable that the higher mentioned event was in the 90s, and the club had to stay in the rather dense shadow of the neighbour in the new century. A new, clearly successful era was started under the leadership of the current mentor, Pellegrini. The Chilean specialist returned to Spanish football and immediately achieved promotion to the European competition. And there was 5th place in combination with a trophy, a cup, in 2022. Then, despite the crisis of “White Andalusia,” the “Béticos” also began to decline. The next temporada ended in 6th position. And now, the club, having played unsuccessfully at the international arena (it only managed to finish in 3rd place in the Europa League group and was eliminated from the Conference League in February), has less and less chance of achieving a fairly high place in the Primera. A 2-3 result in the struggle with Girona, after the confrontations of the international teams, was the fourth defeat in a row.
Celta did not go through the season without coaching reshuffle again
“The Galicians” rarely reach high places, but, at the same time, they consistently gain enough points to stay in La Liga. The management of the club doesn’t hesitate to replace mentors, and it can happen already in the autumn. Nevertheless, the project bosses showed, by their standards, incredible patience, although for a long time practically nothing worked out when Rafa Benitez arrived in the summer. And when things got more or less well, the coach was shown the door after a 0-4 failure, albeit against Real Madrid. It happened despite the fact that the team had got 4 points with direct competitors, Cadiz and Almeria, before. By the way, the resignation helped, it became an impulse: the derby against Sevilla was won, and the club played a draw in the game with Rayo Vallecano.
Previous head-to-head matches
“The Galicians” won with a 2-1 score at the home arena, even in the current season. This is their fourth victory and 1 more battle resulted in a draw.
