- Real Betis have scored in all five of their last five games, all competitions, averaging 2.4 goals per game
- Three of the last five head-to-head meetings were draws, the two most recent both 1-1
- Real Betis have seen 4+ total goals in three of their last five, all competitions
The Breakdown
Celta's last five, all competitions, read as two wins, a draw and two losses, but the context matters. Both defeats came in the UEFA Europa League, at Omonia Nicosia and at home against Juventus. Their other three games brought a 5-0 win against Racing Santander, a 0-0 draw away at Elche and a 2-1 win against Alaves, so they have not lost in that stretch outside Europe. Betis have a 3-1-1 record over the same window, with the 5-2 win against Osasuna and the 2-5 home loss to Barcelona both coming in La Liga. They also beat FC Porto 3-2 and Feyenoord 1-0 in the UEFA Champions League.
The key contrast is Betis' attack against Celta's defence. Betis have scored in every one of their last five, 12 goals in total, but they have also conceded in four of the five and let in 10. Celta have kept clean sheets in two of their last five and conceded four goals in all, which is the steadier defensive record of the two. At the other end, Celta have averaged 1.6 goals per game and failed to score in two of the five, so they will be testing a Betis back line that has rarely held opponents out recently.
The market sees Betis as slight favorites, but the gap is narrow and the draw is a live outcome. Home advantage in Vigo is part of that balance. Betis' recent games have produced plenty of goals, with 4+ total goals in three of five, while Celta's last five have been mixed, with three of five reaching 3+ total goals. The head-to-head record points to a tighter game: three draws in the last five meetings, the two most recent finishing 1-1, though Celta's 3-2 win in February 2025 and the 2-2 draw in November 2024 were both high-scoring. A competitive contest with goals at both ends is plausible, but a cagey stalemate fits the recent pattern just as well.
Update: since this preview was written, Celta Vigo won 2-1 away at Celtic (UEFA Europa League, October 22).
Our Pick
Pick locked in Oct 23, 2026 at 11:33 AM ET — odds can move after that; see the odds page for current prices.
The market favors the Over here, and the recent games back it up. Celta Vigo's last five included 3+ total goals in 4 of 5, and Real Betis scored in all 5 of its last five while conceding in 4 of them. Betis also misses C. Hernandez, but that doesn't change the read. Betis's 2.4 goals scored per game plus Celta's 2 per game point well clear of this line, even though the last two meetings were 1-1 draws.
Both Teams to Score - Yes at -150 (DraftKings) is a separate angle. Real Betis have scored in 5 of their last 5 and conceded in 4 of 5, while Celta Vigo have scored in 4 of 5 and conceded in 3 of 5.
