Group G is wrapped up with nothing left to play for. However, Celtic will be looking to end an underwhelming group campaign with a victory at home against Real Betis, who have already wrapped up second spot in the group.
Europa League Preview
Group G looks set to be one of the most uneventful on matchday six, as all positions have already been wrapped up. However, a matchday six fixture between Celtic and Real Betis in Scotland still promises to be an exciting occasion at Celtic Park, as both sides look to build momentum ahead of their European challenges in the second half of the season.
Celtic have already been condemned to the Europa Conference League, as they can make up the four point difference between themselves and Real Betis with just one game remaining.
It would have surely been a slight disappointment for Celtic, as they would have been hopeful of reaching the next round, but they were always up against it with both Bayer Leverkusen and Real Betis in their group. The Scottish side have won just two games, with both victories coming against bottom-placed Ferencvaros.
Betis will finish the group in second spot, as they can’t overtake Bayer Leverkusen even with a victory on matchday six. The difference between the two is three points, but the German side beat their Spanish rivals 4-0 at home, and drew 1-1 away from home.
They were the only two games that Betis have dropped points in this season, as they have won the other three games that they have played. They have scored a decent tally of ten goals, but have allowed nine. Still, that is the second best defensive record in this group. Betis will be looking to build momentum ahead of their knockout round playoff tie after Christmas.
Celtic vs Real Betis Head to Head
The meeting between Celtic and Betis on matchday one was the first time that the two have met in a competitive fixture. Betis claimed a dramatic win on that occasion, as they came out with a 4-3 win. It was the first time ever that Betis had conceded three in a European tie.
Celtic vs Real Betis Prediction
Celtic have already shown in their games against the top seeds in this group that they have a little to find to be competitive. Therefore, we can see Betis claiming a second straight win over the Scottish side in the Europa League this season at Celtic Park.
