Celta Vigo’s push to get out of La Liga relegation zone will see them come up against top-five chasers Real Betis. This matchday 19 will be played at the Estadio de Balaídos on Wednesday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 18th with 13 points while the visitors are 7th with 28 points. Celta are two points away from safety and would have spent the winter break plotting their move up the table. They lost 3-2 to Villarreal going into the break, which was their first defeat across five league games. That said, they have been poor scorers all season long with only 18 goals to their name. That record hasn’t been improved at home where they have scored exactly once in their last three league matches at this venue.

Betis went into the winter break seven points behind top-five spots but can still catch sixth-placed Real Sociedad who are only three points ahead. They also have the joint-third best defensive record with only 18 goals scored which will pose a challenge to the hosts. To go with that, Betis are unbeaten across 13 league games, albeit winning only four while drawing the remaining nine. Even on the road, they have drawn their last six away league games with four of those ending 1-1 and the other two seeing goalless results.
