Correct Score Prediction: Celta Vigo 1-2 Real Betis

Team News

Juan Carlos Unzue will be missing midfielder Pablo Hernandez due to injury.

Key Man

There is little secrecy about it any longer: Iago Aspas is the lifeblood of this Celta side, and it appears to be the perfect team for him. The Spanish attacker is such a consistent scorer for the mid-table perennials and has become more of a threat now through the rise of winger Pione Sisto. Aspas scored from the spot in the real at Sociedad last weekend for his 12th of the Liga season already.

Team Form

Celta have two wins, a loss, and two draws in their last five matches:

1-2 win at Real Sociedad
0-1 win at Levante
5-0 loss at Barcelona (Copa del Rey)
2-2 home draw vs Real Madrid
1-1 home draw vs Barcelona (Copa del Rey)

Celta Vigo Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-3-3

Team News

Quique Setien will be missing right back Antonio Barragan, forward Antonio Sanabria, and winger Joel Campbell due to injuries.

Key Man

After a nice run of form ahead of that pummeling at the hands of Barca, Betis will have been humbled by that result.  But they still have some dangerous weapons to call upon to get them back on track in the form of Andres Guardado. The Mexican international center midfielder has matured from a winger to the man that orchestrates the action from the center, and he will look to do that again here in this match by adding to his six assists so far.

Team Form

Betis have two losses and three wins in their last five matches:

0-5 home loss vs Barcelona
3-2 home win vs Leganes
3-5 win at Sevilla
0-2 loss at Athletic Bilbao
0-2 win at Malaga

Celta Vigo Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 3-4-3

With both teams out of the Copa del Rey already, they both each have had plenty of time to prepare for this match and will be ready to attack it with full bore. Betis haven't lost of late to Celta, and they have once again kicked back into some of their best form, so they look like favorites to edge out Celta and keep up the chase for European places.

Betis haven't lost any of the last five to Celta (2W, 3D).
