Betis take on the visitors Celta Vigo in the round 31 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, April 12th at Estadio Benito Villamarín (Sevilla).
Betis continues to lose ground. Earlier this decade, the Cucumbers brought in Pellegrini as head coach. He gained top status as a specialist in Spain, and upon returning, clearly wanted to strengthen his shaken reputation. Meanwhile, the club aimed to emerge from the shadow of the clearly more successful Sevilla of late. Chilean immediately led his team to European competitions. In 2022, they even managed to win the country's cup, combined with a 5th position in La Liga. Everyone expected further progress, especially as White Andalusia finally began to emerge. However, instead, they slipped back to 6th place last spring. And now the Spaniards have also failed on the international stage, first managing to squander their advantage and finish 3rd in the Europa League group, and then getting knocked out of the Conference League by the very first opponent, Zagreb's Dinamo. After such setbacks, you would think they could focus on La Liga and at least maintain last season's position. But there, on the contrary, the 2-3 loss to Girona in the last round became the 4th defeat in a row.

Celta have often changed coaches, not hesitating to do so, even in the first round. But even this helped them stay afloat in recent, not particularly successful years, at least without dropping to the Segunda. However, they remembered that not so long ago, in 2017, there was a Europa League semi-final, and when they appointed Benitez in the summer, they clearly hoped to start fighting for European competitions again. And Rafa needed to redeem himself after his recent failures. But things didn't go well from the start, and the representative of Vigo found himself among the outsiders. Only in winter did things start to improve somewhat. But after a 0-4 defeat in March, they parted ways with the experienced coach. Although before this defeat, they had taken 4 points in matches against Cadiz and Almeria, and lost to the leader, Real. Nevertheless, they made the coach of the double, Claudio Heraldes. He made his debut in Seville, defeating the club of the same name. And with Rayo Vallecano, they managed to end with a draw - allowing them to hold onto the savior 17th position.
The January 2-1 victory was the 4th win for the Galicians in their last 5 head-to-head matches. And only once in this stretch was there a draw. After all, the Cucumbers are playing at home against a team from the lower end of the table. Under such conditions, they should win the match.
Prediction for the match: Betis to win.
