Betis Form & Balance Check
Betis Sevilla are currently in solid form. After two consecutive wins in the competition, the southern Spanish side had to accept a 3-2 defeat at Atletic Bilbao. Betis even led 2-1 at one point, but in the end went home with zero points. Real Betis, however, showed what quality players they have in their ranks with their last home win against Real Sociedad San Sebastian. They beat a direct rival 4-0 and dominated the game from the start. Therefore, they should be brimming with confidence despite their recent defeat to Atletic Bilbao.
The second best offence in the league
The southern Spaniards always play with their sights open, which is why it is no surprise that they have already scored 32 goals in just 18 league games this season. Betis Sevilla thus have the second-best offence in the entire league in their ranks. Coach Manuel Pellegrini’s top scorer is Juanmi. The 28-year-old Spaniard has scored an incredible eleven goals in his first league games.

Celta Vigo Form & Balance Check
Generally speaking, Celta Vigo are playing a poor season so far. Iago Aspas and his team expected a much better position in the table before the season. Recently, however, they have found their way more and more into the groove. Celta Vigo are unbeaten in three matches and recently celebrated a remarkable 3:1 victory over Espanyol Barcelona. This will certainly have given them some confidence.
Dangerous away team
Very surprisingly, Celta Vigo have been particularly lively in away stadiums this year. If a table existed only with the teams’ away games, they would be in seventh place in the table. They won three of their first eight home games, snatched three draws and had to accept two defeats. Therefore, we believe that Real Betis will face an almost equal opponent in the upcoming home game.

– Celta Vigo won their last match at home against Espanyol with 3:1
– Vigo are unbeaten in three inter-competitive matches
Predicted line-up – last update on 30 December 2021
We believe Betis coach Manuel Pellegrini will stay true to his starting line-up. The Chilean is currently playing in a classic 4-2-3-1 formation. The advantage of this formation is that the ten-man, in this case Nabil Fekir, can always play dangerously up front.
Celta Vigo were able to shine in their last league match against Espanyol Barcelona and celebrate a 3:1 victory. Therefore, we suspect that coach Eduardo Coudet will not make any starting changes. According to our information, Celta Vigo are not missing any players due to injury or suspension. Therefore, their coach can draw from the full
