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
