Celta Vigo, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 3-2 away defeat by Villarreal will have left the Celta Vigo squad feeling a little deflated. During that encounter they had 52% possession and had 15 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents hit 8 of their 12 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 15 of their 18 games overall.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 home games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games. From their 18 league matches this season, they have managed just 2 wins, which is certainly not a run of form they will be happy with.
Jorgen Strand Larsen will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Celta Vigo.
Real Betis, Recent FormIt's fair to say Real Betis will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Girona, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 47%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Girona had 12 shots on goal with 4 on target.
4 goals in 6 matches haven't proved quite enough for them in terms of a return in points, and that's despite having only conceded 3 goals in those 6 games, which shows a pretty solid defensive line. When playing away from home, they have scored in 4 of their last 6 games and are on a run of 2 consecutive clean sheets.
Los Verdiblancos will be desperate for 3 points and a change of fortune away from home. Their very long run of poor form on the road has seen them draw their last 6 league games and fail to notch up a win in any of their last 8.
Ayoze Pérez will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Celta Vigo in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Real Betis.
Real Betis suffered the disappointment of a 3-4 defeat at the hands of Celta Vigo the last time they met in the league.
Celta have managed to keep a clean sheet against Los Verdiblancos in each of their previous 2 meetings at The Estadio Abanca-Balaídos.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Celta has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Real Betis in 4 games.
Celta man Iago Aspas will be confident about extending his scoring record against Real Betis, having hit the netting 3 times in the last 5 times they have met in the league.
With Joseph Aidoo (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Mihailo Ristić (Muscle) also unavailable in the shorter term, Celta manager Rafael Benítez will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
Manuel Pellegrini has a number of injury concerns in his Real Betis squad to contend with: Marc Bartra (Achilles tendon), Héctor Bellerín (Ankle), Claudio Bravo (Hamstring), Nabil Fekir (Muscle), Guido Rodríguez (Ankle) and Youssouf Sabaly (Knee)
