After turning around Celta Vigo following his appointment as manager, Eduardo Coudet has watched his team lose back-to-back games in La Liga. Celta Vigo were on an upward trajectory in the La Liga standings until suffering their recent defeats to Real Madrid and Villarreal. They failed to score in either of those matches while conceding six times.

Real Betis started the season so well but have failed to continue the consistency they showed early on. Los Verdiblancos are in 10th place heading into their Wednesday night home match versus Celta Vigo. The two clubs are on the same number of points (23) and are both seven points off of the European places. Manuel Pellegrini’s team are unbeaten in their last two matches in La Liga having taken four points from six. While Coudet’s team have dropped points, Pellegrini’s team have recently collected them.

Real Betis are unbeaten in four straight matches versus Celta Vigo. That includes a win at the Estadio Benito Villamarin last season. Celta Vigo’s last win against Real Betis came in the 2017-18 season. However, they have not won in Seville versus Real Betis since the 2013-14 campaign. Celta Vigo have failed to win in each of their last five trips to the Estadio Benito Villamarin in La Liga. Can they change that trend and overturn their current form this week against Real Betis or will Los Verdiblancos grab another win?
