La Liga restarts after stopping last weekend to make room for the King’s Cup final, and it does so with an interesting advance between Betis and Celta Vigo. The green-and-whites are experiencing perhaps one of the most complicated moments of the Pellegrini management and come to this match with no less than four defeats on their backs.
In the month of March, the Andalusians have not brought home a single point, surrendering to Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, Rayo Vallecano and Girona and plummeting to eighth place in the standings. At risk, therefore, is participation in the next European cups, since the only goal currently within reach seems to be seventh place (Conference League). Fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao is now unreachable (+14), but Real Sociedad (+7) is also distant. However, there are still several games left to be played but if Betis wants to return to Europe, it cannot make any more mistakes, starting with the match with the Galicians. Celta Vigo is undefeated since Claudio Giraldez, who immediately after the national team break took over from Rafa Benitez, whose 4-0 defeat to Real Madrid was fatal. A win (Sevilla) and a draw (Rayo Vallecano) with the new coach: four crucial points to stay +3 on the relegation zone.
The prediction
Betis is eager to restart but especially to start scoring points again after four knockouts in a row but will have to deal with a combative Celta Vigo, revitalized by the change in technical leadership. We expect an eventful match, with at least one goal on each side, in which the hosts will manage to avoid defeat.
