Celta Vigo host Real Betis at Balaidos
Eighth-placed Celta Vigo welcome fourth-placed Real Betis to Abanca-Balaidos with both clubs looking to build on positive starts nine games into the campaign.
Celta Vigo sit eighth on 11 points after nine games, having enjoyed a solid opening phase of the campaign. The Galician side carry momentum into this fixture, remaining unbeaten across their last five matches in all competitions (W2, D3), a sequence capped by a 2-1 home victory over Alaves courtesy of contributions from Javi Rodriguez and goalkeeper Ionut Radu.
Real Betis occupy fourth spot with 19 points from nine matches after an impressive start to the season that has yielded six victories. However, the Seville club must regroup quickly following a heavy 5-2 home defeat to Barcelona in their last league outing, having previously claimed a 5-2 win over Osasuna and a 2-1 away triumph at Villarreal.
