Celta Vigo hosts Real Betis in round 29 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, March 20th at Estadio de Balaídos (Vigo)
Celta Vigo lost to Villarreal a week ago (1-0). It was the second defeat for the Sky Blues in the last three matches. However, they feel as comfortable as possible in the standings. They have 35 points, and this is enough to be on the 10th line. The gap from the relegation zone is 11 points. Over the years of playing in LaLiga, Celta has developed a reputation as a strong home team. However, this season the Sky Blues lose points at home very often, which resulted in the following statistics: five victories, three draws, and six losses with a goal difference of 20-19. In fairness, it should be noted that the Celts showed themselves well in the last five home matches: four victories and one draw.

Betis will be tired against the backdrop of performances in the Europa League. On March 17, the team held a difficult return match against Eintracht Frankfurt. The Green-Whites scored in the 90th minute and brought the game to extra time, but the Eagles managed to equalize in the 121st minute and advanced to the quarterfinals (3-2 on aggregate). In the last round of the Spanish championship, Betis was stronger than Athletic Bilbao at home (1-0), breaking a streak of two consecutive defeats. At the moment, Manuel Pellegrini's men are on the 5th line in the standings with 49 points. The gap to the Champions League zone is two points. Betis is in the top four teams in terms of goals scored (40). Only Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atlético Madrid score more. In addition, the Andalusians are among the top three teams in terms of away statistics: seven victories, two draws, and four losses with a goal difference of 23-17. 23 points were scored in 13 games.
In the first round, Betis unexpectedly lost to Celta Vigo at Estadio Benito Villamarin (0-2). Last season, the Green-Whites beat the Sky-Blues twice (2-3 and 2-1). Celta has recently improved its home results. The Galician team is on a streak of five consecutive home matches without defeats (four victories and one draw). And I think that the Celts will again be close to at least not losing. And the point is not only that they will play at home, but also that the visitors will be tired against the backdrop of a very difficult away match against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Prediction for the match: Celta Vigo to win with 0.0 handicap
