Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Celta Vigo will try to recover from a 2-1 loss to Valencia when they take on Real Betis in La Liga round 23. Os Celeste aim to put an end to their five-game winless run in all competitions and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against los Beticos. Bear in mind, though, that both Ilaix Moriba and Carl Starfelt are banned for the match.
Los Beticos, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Athletic Club. The Andalusians have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Alaves, beating Mallorca, while sharing the spoils with aforementioned Athletic. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as both sides will go for a win in Saturday’s encounter. The likes of Pablo Fornals, Ezequiel Avila, Hector Bellerin, Aitor Ruibal, Youssouf Sabaly, and William Carvalho remain in the recovery room.
