In a weekend match in week 7, on Sun Oct 2nd, Celta de Vigo will play host to Real Betis in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched La Liga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 16 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Celta de Vigo sits at 13th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-3 loss against Valencia. Samu Castillejo struck first for Valencia in the 37th minute, then Marcos de Sousa added another in the 82nd minute In the end, Celta de Vigo was frustrated by Valencia’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Valencia ended the match with the shutout victory. Celta de Vigo is looking for direction having 2 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches, while real Betis is fresh off their 2-1 win against Girona. Arnau Martinez struck first for Girona in the 7th minute on a feed from Miguel Gutiérrez, then Borja Iglesias tied it up for Real Betis in the 15th minute Finally they completed the comback in the 71st minute on a goal by Borja Iglesias to cap off a wild match. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Real Betis should be reasonably happy with their performance.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Celta de Vigo won the head to head battle with 1 win.
