The 2022-23 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Celta Vigo lock horns with Manuel Pellegrini’s Real Betis side in an important clash at the Estadio Benito Villamarin on Saturday.
Celta Vigo are currently in 16th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Galician outfit edged Athletic Bilbao to an important 1-0 victory last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Real Betis, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. The Andalusian giants slumped to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Barcelona in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.

Real Betis vs Celta Vigo Prediction
Real Betis have shown flashes of their potential under Manuel Pellegrini but have flattered to deceive since the turn of the year. The likes of Nabil Fekir and Sergio Canales play crucial roles for the Andalusians and will need to step up in this fixture.
Celta Vigo can pack a punch on their day and are perfectly capable of pulling off an upset. Real Betis are the better team at the moment, however, and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Real Betis 2-1 Celta Vigo

Real Betis vs Celta Vigo Odds
We say: Real Betis 1-0 Celta Vigo
Celta will certainly be the fresher of the two sides entering this match, and they will fancy their chances of making it a difficult game for the hosts. Real Betis have generally been quite strong at home this term, though, picking up 17 points from nine matches, and Pellegrini’s side will be desperate to bounce back from their loss to Barcelona, so we have settled on a low-scoring home success.
