Real Betis will be desperate to end their losing streak that has complicated their top six sides, as they host a Celta Vigo side that is only marginally above the bottom three. This match at the Stadio Benito Villamarin on Friday will see the hosts eighth with 42 points, while the visitors are 17th with 28 points. Betis were beaten 3-2 by Girona in an exciting match last time out. That made it four defeats in a row and, as such, complicated their chances of qualifying for Europe through the league placements. The hosts need to arrest that slide and get back to winning ways, although that’s proving difficult at this venue. Betis won just one of their last six home matches in all competitions, drawing two and losing three.

Celta Vigo are only three points above Cadiz, who are currently occupying the last relegation spot. Their recent form does give hope, as they won and drawn two matches each across the last five competitive matches. The only defeat in that sequence came against leaders Real Madrid, so Celta are proving to be a tough opponent to face. The away fans can hope for an upset win, as Celta have won their last three La Liga matches against Betis. While that gives hope, their recent run of results away from home indicate Celta is likely to enjoy being on the road. They have won only four of their last eight away competitive matches, drawing and losing two each. The last result in that sequence is a 2-1 win over Sevilla, which gives them a chance to frustrate the home team.
