In the latter half of October, the Galicians suffered two La Liga defeats. They experienced a home loss to Real Madrid (1-2), followed by an unexpected heavy defeat away to Leganes (0-3). Notably, it's the third time this season that Celta Vigo has lost two consecutive league games. November started positively for Claudio Hiraldo's men with a narrow home win over Getafe (1-0). The team sits mid-table, three points behind Real Betis.
Midfielder Jhailson will miss the upcoming match due to injury.

It's worth noting that Celta Vigo has not played to a draw in their last 11 away La Liga matches – with 3 victories and 8 defeats. Moreover, at least three goals have been scored in 12 of Claudio Hiraldo's last 14 away games in La Liga.
Real Betis rarely loses at home. The team has only 4 defeats in their last 26 home league matches (13 wins and 9 draws). Furthermore, the Sevillians have scored at least one goal in 22 of their last 24 home games in La Liga. At least two goals have been scored in 10 of the club's last 12 home matches in the league.

And at least two goals have been scored in all of the last 10 head-to-head meetings at the Benito Villamarin in La Liga. My prediction is for a "1X and Over 1.5 Goals" with odds of .
