Celtic have traveled here for an interesting Europa League fight against Real Betis. Prepare for the match with this cup preview!
These are full days for the team playing at home, as they had a game only three days ago in the La Liga. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Granada.
These teams have little in common geographically as Celtic have to travel 2800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Real Betis form and stats

The victory against Granada came after Sergio Canales's winning goal. The Betis manager M. Pellegrini Ripamonti was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 64th minute.
Ahead of that match, Betis lost 0-1 at home to Real Madrid.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Betis's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won three matches, drawn zero and lost one.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Espanyol are coming to town in three days.
At Estadio Benito Villamarín, Real Betis has the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Celtic form and stats
Celtic was sent out of Europa League in the group stage last season.When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 3W-0D-1L. This is both home and away. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Celtic are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Celtic won their last game, 3-0 versus Ross County played at home. Cameron Carter-Vickers, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.63. Carter-Vickers scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 7 of 11 duels. The 3-0 victory against Ross County could easily have been bigger as the victors made a valiant effort at breaking the goal posts, hitting them three times.
Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Rangers's place.Celtic have another match that requires travelling in just three sleeps, a Premiership game versus Livingston. A gruelling programme for the visitors!
