H2H: Betis vs. Celta Vigo – Prediction (La Liga

Real Betis vs Celta Vigo – Preview and Teams Comparison.

Struggling Real Betis have failed to win any of their previous four La Liga (LL) matches (D1, L3). A big issue for them so far has been their faltering defence – they have conceded two or more goals in four league matches already and have kept just one clean sheet. This has contributed to them conceding a league-high 20 league goals. Betis’ Loren has netted seven goals in nine league matches – five of those strikes came in the second half. The bulk of the action in their league fixtures tends to come in the second half. This is highlighted by the fact that 68.75% of all their goals scored or conceded have come after half-time. Additionally, they have scored just two LL goals across the opening 30 minutes this season.

Four of Betis’ previous five league matches have seen a goal scored between the 60th-75th minute. There have been under 2.5 match goals in 90% of Celta’s league matches. Betis have scored on or after the 80th minute in each of the previous three H2H meetings.

Celta Vigo also find themselves in a rough patch having won just one of their previous eight league matches (D3, L4). They’re another side who tend to start matches slow, scoring just one LL goal before half-time so far. However, they are also vulnerable after the break, conceding 83.33% of their league goals in that period too. Celta’s Brais Méndez is still yet to open his LL account this season, yet he did score in his sides last visit to Betis. The visitors have won just one of their previous eight H2H league matches against Betis (D4, L3). Strikingly, four of those fixtures saw them concede two or more league goals, yet they have scored three goals in two of the previous three H2H clashes!
