Our prediction for the match Celta vs Betis
“The Galicians” started last season with Rafa Benitez – and they were constantly hanging around in the danger zone. Only when Claudio Giraldez took over as coach, the club managed to improve its performance, and eventually managed to get 41 points and finish in a safe 13th place. “The Greens” again retained their place in the European tournament zone. This time they barely won the race against Villarreal for the final 7th position, collecting 57 points.
Pellegrini’s footballers overcame Kryvbas in the Conference League qualification. Speaking about the main round, they won 3 times and collected 10 points, which allowed the representatives of Spain to reach the play-offs. Soon the club will play against Gent there. At the same time, “the Béticos” finished their performance in the cup, losing with a 1-5 score to Barcelona in January. As for the Primera, they are struggling to maintain at least the positions of the previous cycle. However, the club played a 2-2 draw in the struggle with a strong opponent, Athletic, in the previous round. The club from Vigo, on the contrary, is trying to improve its game. Everything ended with a crushing defeat made by the grandee in the Copa del Rey – a 2-5 result in the game against Real in Madrid. Then the results in the championship also fell: the defeats made by Rayo, Vallecano and Athletic were followed by a draw with Alaves. And then the team lost to the outsider, Valencia.
The hosts score 1.41 goals per round. Still, they concede more, almost 1.6 goals per match. “The Green and Whites” are even more boring. Their attack provides only 1.14 goals per round, but they also concede fewer than their opponents – 1.27.
