Celta Vigo
Real Betis and Celta Vigo square off against each other at Estadio Benito Villamarin in the La Liga round 31 curtain-raiser. Los Beticos do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team extending their losing run to four games at Girona. The Andalusians are low on confidence ahead of Friday’s clash, which is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered. Forward Ezequiel Avila serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while defender Marc Bartra remains in the recovery room.
Os Celeste, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Rayo Vallecano. The Galicians are three points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that they should be happy with one point from Friday’s encounter. As for the away team, Carlos Dotor remains in the recovery room, while both Williot Swedberg and Mihailo Ristic are major doubts and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
