Real Betis head to the Estadio Abanca-Balaídos on Sunday as favourites for Celta Vigo vs Real Betis in LaLiga, though their hosts are stubborn opponents and this fixture rarely stays quiet.
Celta Vigo are unbeaten in their last six LaLiga outings, yet Claudio Giráldez has a lengthy injury list to manage, with Borja Iglesias the headline absentee up front.
Manuel Pellegrini's Real Betis sit fourth, and Giráldez called them "probably one of the best Betis sides in history". A 5-2 home hammering by Barcelona last time out took the shine off.
The head-to-head is Celta's trump card. They are unbeaten in 9 of their last 10 matches against Real Betis in all competitions, which tempers the visitors' favourite tag.
Celta Vigo vs Real Betis Form
Celta have drawn more league games than they have won, but they beat Alaves 2-1 at home last weekend through Ferran Jutglà and Javi Rodríguez. They also won 2-1 away at Celtic in the Europa League. With Iglesias sidelined, Jutglà is the man carrying the goal threat.
A Betis win would have landed in 7 of their last 10 matches, a strong return even with the Barcelona result going badly wrong. They also edged Feyenoord 1-0 at home in Europe. Isco pulls the strings behind Antony and Abde Ezzalzouli, who has been finding the net regularly in LaLiga.

Our prediction: Our prediction for this one is a Betis win in an open game with goals at both ends. The visitors carry a 43.7% win probability on the numbers, clear of Celta and the draw, and the quality of Isco and Antony should tell against a depleted home side. Betis are 5/4 with Unibet.

Celta Vigo vs Real Betis Bet Builder
This Celta Vigo vs Real Betis bet builder backs Antony twice in the shots markets, Yoel Lago for a card and Giovani Lo Celso to grab an assist.
Antony to have over 3.5 shots looks a natural fit. He has reached 4+ shots in six of his last eight LaLiga appearances, and Betis are built to counter at speed.
Yoel Lago to be shown a card. The centre-back has picked up a booking in three of his last four LaLiga outings, and Betis's pace in transition will test him.
Antony over 0.5 shots on target backs up the first leg. Real Betis have put 10+ shots on target in seven successive LaLiga matches, so the volume is there.
Giovani Lo Celso to register an assist is the long shot, having set up a goal on three occasions in his past four meetings with Celta Vigo in LaLiga.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 33/1 and is as short as 89/5 elsewhere.

Celta Vigo vs Real Betis Talking Points
The big question is whether Celta can keep the ball. Giráldez has said controlling possession will be vital against Betis's counter-attacking speed, a tall order after travel delays on the flight home from Glasgow. The Celta Vigo vs Real Betis betting odds have moved firmly towards the visitors since the market opened, with Betis shortening and Celta drifting. Yet only one of the last six meetings has gone Betis's way, which is why this is no stroll. Isco has a goal or an assist to his name in seven of his last nine appearances against Celta Vigo in LaLiga, and if Celta cannot keep him quiet, the favourites will have their way.
