La Liga: Real Betis vs Celta
At 3:00 a.m. Beijing time on April 13, 2024, in the 31st round of La Liga, Real Betis will face Celta at home. Real Betis was still in the European zone last season, and this season's performance has declined, after 30 rounds of league games, with 10 wins, 12 draws and 8 losses, ranking 8th in La Liga with 42 points, 7 points away from Real Sociedad in the European zone, although there is still a chance to hit the European places, but the hope is getting slimmer. Judging from the data, Real Betis has scored 36 goals and conceded 36 goals in 30 league games this season, and the offensive and defensive performance is hardly ideal.
Real Betis have been in a slump of late, losing four games in a row. The team played away to Girona in the last round of the league, with 44% possession and 4 shots on target from 7 attempts, and although Jose helped the team equalize twice when the score was behind, a mistake at the back led to a 2-3 defeat. In addition, Real Betis has a decent home record this season, with 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses in 15 league home games, ranking 8th in the league at home.
Celta's performance this season is very bad, after 30 rounds of league games, with 6 wins, 10 draws and 14 losses, ranking 17th in La Liga with 28 points, the last place in the safety zone, and currently only 3 points above Cadiz in the relegation zone, which shows that the team is under huge pressure to relegate, so there is no doubt about the fighting spirit. Judging from the data, Celta has scored 32 goals and conceded 44 goals in 30 league games this season, and the offensive and defensive performances are equally poor.
Celta de Vigo have picked up their form recently and are now unbeaten in two consecutive matches. The team played Rayo Vallecano at home in the last round of the league, with 60% possession and 0 shots on target from 13 attempts, although the attacking performance was not good, but fortunately the defensive end was still solid, and neither side made any achievements, and the two sides ended up in a 0-0 draw. In addition, Celta have a better away record this season than at home, with 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats in 15 league games, ranking 13th in the league away from home.
In terms of past meetings between the two teams, Real Betis have only played Celta Vigo 10 times, with four wins, two draws and four defeats, with a close record between the two sides, and a 2-1 defeat away from home in the first leg this season. In terms of recent situation, Real Betty's recent form has been very sluggish, with four consecutive defeats, and the hope of hitting European qualification is becoming more and more slim, while Celta's recent form has picked up, and the team's intention to grab points in order to avoid relegation is very obvious. Judging from the current attitude of all parties, the performance is very ambiguous, combined with the strength and recent situation of both sides, Celta is still expected to bring points home in this battle.
