Celta Vigo travel to Benito Villamarín with 54 points and two straight wins to face Real Betis in a top-six La Liga clash. The Galician side, who have scored 53 goals and conceded 48 this season, arrive in Seville aiming to extend their two-game winning run and close the gap on their hosts.
What’s at stake for Celta Vigo?
With 54 points, Celta Vigo sit sixth in La Liga, 40 points behind leaders Barcelona. Eduardo Coudet’s side need three more points to secure their top-six spot and keep Real Betis at arm’s length. Their last result was a 1-0 win over Sevilla on May 23, 2026, a result that sparked their current two-game winning streak.
Recent form and head-to-head
In their last five games, Celta Vigo have recorded two wins, two draws and one loss (WWDDL). They arrive in Seville with defensive solidity -48 goals conceded this season- and an attack that has shown clinical efficiency, led by Ferran Jutglà and Pablo Durán. Across the last six meetings, Celta Vigo have won three, drawn two and lost one, a record that points to tight, open games.
Key players and tactical options
Ferran Jutglà remains Celta Vigo’s main attacking outlet, averaging 1.5 shots on target per match and excelling at creating space. Pablo Durán adds movement and presence in the box, crucial to the team’s efficiency. Manager Eduardo Coudet may opt for a compact setup but look to exploit Betis’ defensive vulnerabilities on the break.
Predictions and odds
Bookmakers give Real Betis a slight edge thanks to home advantage and stronger attacking output. Yet Celta Vigo arrive with momentum and two straight wins, a factor that could swing the odds. Betting on over 2.5 goals looks solid given the history of open games between the sides. Celta Vigo’s defensive resilience and clinical finishing make them anything but pushovers, and Benito Villamarín could host another tight, high-stakes clash in the European race.
