The Andalusians do, though, come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat to Greek giants Panathinaikos in the first-leg of their UEFA Europa League round of 16 tie with an 88th minute penalty for the Greeks in Athens.
Celta Vigo preview: Strong Celta
Claudio Giraldez is in charge of an entertaining and silky Celta Vigo side that are beginning this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting three points behind Betis, sixth in La Liga after a last gasp 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid at Balaidos last week.
The Galicians were frustrated in midweek as they shared a 1-1 draw with Olympique Lyonnais in the first-leg of their UEFA Europa League round of 16 tie with Endrick scoring a late equaliser for Lyon.

Real Betis vs Celta Vigo prediction
These have often been two of the more entertaining teams to watch as a neutral in Spain’s top-flight. Betis play good but disorganised football and that has led to frustration within the fanbase. Celta are in indifferent for themselves of late and so could do with getting back on track, but both sides may well be distracted by their upcoming European game and so a stretched match lacking focus may well produce quite a fun watch once again at La Cartuja in Seville.
