Celta Vigo vs Betis prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-02-07 13:00.
[p]Celta Vigo continue to struggle in 2025 having picked up just one point since the beginning of the year (D1, L3), with all three losses in the sequence coming by the same 2-1 scoreline. Their winless run is still only a short one, but the recent decline in results has brought a slide down the table, with Claudio Giráldez’s side sat just four points above the relegation zone pre-round.[/p]
[p]Sluggish starts have been behind their demise this year, as the Sky Blues have conceded the opening goal in each of their four league games to date in 2025, and have now done so in 15 of their 22 La Liga games this season – a joint-league high pre-round. Given that they have lost ten of those 15 games (W2, D3), Celta’s quest to avoid being dragged closer to the bottom three will likely require concentration from the start.[/p]
[p]Real Betis’ record to this point in 2025 hadn’t been much better until taking four points from their last two league games (W1, D1), including a 1-0 success at Mallorca on their last road trip, which was a second victory in their last three away league outings (L1). Now sat just three points below the top six pre-round, the Green and Whites’ recent upturn has rejuvenated their pursuit of a fifth consecutive European berth.[/p]
[p]Three points this weekend would keep Manuel Pellegrini’s side moving in the right direction, but Celta have become somewhat of a bogey team for the Andalusian outfit, with Betis winning just one of the pair’s last seven H2Hs (D2, L4). Conceding 2+ goals on four occasions during that sequence has hindered them, and a repeat can’t be ruled out considering their Mallorca clean sheet was their first in ten away league games.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Marcos Alonso returns from suspension for Saturday’s hosts – he’s been carded in his last three Celta appearances. Counterpart Marc Bartra has lost only one of his 14 career H2Hs with Celta (W8, D5) and scored a 95th minute equaliser in the reverse fixture![/p]
[p]Hot stat: 15 of Celta’s 22 league games this season have seen both teams score.[/p]
