Celta Vigo vs Real Betis Match Preview

Celta Vigo
With the top-half of the La Liga occupied by the usual suspects, the middle table is where all the action is! Teams from seventh to 13th in the table are separated by just a couple of points and that tells the whole story. Celta are eight after 20 games (28 pts, W8, D4, L8). A win in this Celta Vigo vs Real Betis encounter will them to seventh and within one point of sixth-placed Sevilla. While a draw will also move them up the table one place, a defeat at the hands of Betis will pull them down by a place. The hosts come into the game on the back of a four-match unbeaten streak (W3, D1) that has given them some momentum. However, it is their usually impregnable home form that is of concern this season, with three losses in nine games (W3, D3, L3).
Real Betis
Like their hosts, Betis too are stuck in that mid-table melee at 13th after 20 games (27 pts, W8, D3, L9). A draw will push them up to 11th while with a win, they can move as high as seventh!
