Celta Vigo form: eight points from their last six
Celta Vigo have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last six, scoring nine and conceding five. They beat Deportivo Alavés 2-1 at home 7 days before this fixture, and the run also holds a 1-2 home defeat by Juventus in the UEFA Europa League 10 days out and a 0-0 draw away at Elche 14 days out.
The 5-0 home win over Real Racing Club carries a lot of that goal tally. Strip the outliers and Celta are a side that keeps games tight and doesn't finish them: they conceded two or more in only 1 of those 6 matches and kept two clean sheets, but scored two or more in just 2 of 6 and failed to score in 2. At home across the run they won 2 of 4.
Real Betis form: four wins, and nearly all of it at home
Real Betis have won 4, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last six, scored 13 and conceded 10. The most recent was a 1-0 win over Feyenoord in the UEFA Champions League 4 days before this match, following 3-2 against FC Porto and a 5-2 LaLiga win over Osasuna. The exception is heavy: 2-5 at home to FC Barcelona 8 days before Sunday.
Here's the part that matters. Five of those six games were at Benito Villamarín, where Betis won 4 of 5. The single away trip, 35 days before this fixture, ended 1-1 at Deportivo de A Coruña. Betis have also conceded two or more in 3 of 6, which is a lot of leaking for a side this effective going forward.
Where Celta Vigo vs Real Betis is decided
Betis score; they found the net in all six. Celta defend; one match in six with two or more conceded. Both of those hold, so the shape of the game points at something low rather than the shootouts Betis have been involved in - 3 or more goals in the game came up in 3 of 6 for each side.
Celta's problem is the same one that has cost them points all run. They create enough to win 2-1 and not much more.
