Celta Vigo vs Betis Preview and Team News
Celta Vigo Team News
Celta Vigo had one of the most eventful transfer windows in La Liga, with defender Óscar Mingueza linked to Aston Villa for €20M. The move didn’t materialize, but the club are aware that they need to renew his contract soon. It runs out in 2026.
However, Forward Tasos Douvikas moved to Como after the Italian club submitted a €14M offer. The Galician side also welcomed Betis player Iker Losada on loan for the remainder of the season.

In 13th place after a 2-1 defeat to Valencia, Celta Vigo are failing to mount a response after Valencia’s second goal. It marks their fourth consecutive La Liga game without a victory.
Celta Vigo’s Copa del Rey campaign ended with a 5-2 extra-time defeat to Real Madrid. The event was marked with drama as the Galicians overcame a 2-0 deficit in the last ten minutes before two goals extended the match.
Carl Starfelt and Ilaix Moriba will be sidelined due to red card suspensions, while Franco Cervi and Iago Aspas are out and injured.
Celta Vigo predicted lineup vs Betis (3-4-3): Guaita; J. Rodriguez, Lago, Dominguez; Carreira, Beltrán, D. Rodriguez, López, Ristić; Durán, Iglesias, Swedberg.
Betis Team News
Betis secured Johnny’s contract extension until 2030 amid transfer speculation linking him to other clubs. This was a key extension, considering Johnny has been one of their best players this season in the double-pivot.
Due to wage cap restrictions, the squad had to be creative in the market, securing Antony on loan from Manchester United. The team currently lack explosive wingers who are confident enough to beat their man 1v1. The departure of Assane Diao to Como has forced Betis to search for replacements.

The side sit 10th in La Liga, just three points behind sixth-placed Rayo Vallecano. Injuries were a significant factor for Betis’ poor season: Aitor Ruibal, Ezequiel Ávila, Hector Bellerin, Pablo Fornals, and William Carvalho are out. Additionally, reports say Giovanni Lo Celso missed Tuesday and Wednesday’s training sessions.
Betis predicted lineup vs Celta Vigo (4-3-3): Adrián; Perraud, Natan, Llorente, Ortiz; Altimir, Johnny, Jesús Rodríguez; Isco, Antony, Bakambu.
Bet hereCelta Vigo vs Betis Prediction
- Prediction: Betis to win
- Odds: 3.19 (22Bet)
- Score Prediction: Celta Vigo 1-2 Betis
While both squads struggle with injuries, this encounter makes the case for an interesting prediction.
Although Balaidos is known in Spain for being one of the most difficult away venues (often called Spain’s Stoke), Celta Vigo will miss Iago Aspas, who has been the team’s most crucial scorer for the last few years. Considering that Ilaix Moriba will also miss the game, fans can expect a weaker home side.
Each club grapples with their own defence, but Betis tend to be more decisive in front of the net, which makes them the favourites for their match. A clean sheet is unlikely—in fact, quite the opposite.
Celta Vigo vs Betis Betting Tip
- Pick: Isco to score
- Odds: 4.75 (22Bet)
One of the key reasons behind the visitors’ struggles earlier this season was the absence of Isco due to injury. Since the team runs every counter-attack through the ex-Real Madrid player, it’s been a difficult time for them offensively. His return has seen an improvement in squad performances, and Celta Vigo’s defensive issues favour his involvement as a goalscorer.
