Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Celta Vigo will look to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Atletico Madrid and Valencia when they host Real Betis to their Estadio de Balaidos on Matchday 7. Os Celeste have been unpredictable at the start of the season, and, no doubt, they face a difficult task against los Beticos. Midfielder Franco Cervi is banned for the match, whereas forward Goncalo Paciencia is out of contention with a hamstring problem.
The Andalusians, on the other hand, made a promising start to the season, with the team collecting 15 points in total from possible 18, and they must be high on confidence following back-to-back wins over Villarreal and Girona. Celta Vigo, though, are tough to beat in Galicia, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on draw this time out. A man to watch in the away side will be Borja Iglesias, who scored a brace in a 2-1 win over Girona, while all Sabaly, Ruiz Torre, Jimenez, Fekir, and Camarasa are likely to miss out with injuries.
