Celtic vs Real Betis Odds: Side with the visitors in Scotland

Celtic host Real Betis on Thursday evening in the final round of Europa League group stage fixtures. With Celtic fixed in third place and Betis in second, this game is a dead rubber for both sides, but with both teams expected to rotate their starting line-ups, we feel there could be some betting opportunities and have lined up two punts we like the look of. 

The game kicks off at 8:00 pm and is live on BT Sport with the reverse fixture between these two ending in a 4-3 victory in Spain back in September. Angelos Postecoglou may ring the changes on Thursday however, Cameron Carter-Vickers is suspended and Karamoko Dembele and Christopher Julien will miss out through injury. 

For the visitors, Claudio Bravo, Victor Camarasa, and Martin Montoya are all doubts with Youssouf Sabaly the only definite absentee. With the pressure being off for both sides here, we are hoping for an exciting encounter with plenty of goalmouth action.

First up we are backing Betis for the win. 7/5 with Unibet is the current best price available at the time of writing which implies a 41.7% chance of the visitors coming away with the three points. 

Manuel Pellegrini’s side have been in good form of late and currently find themselves third in the La Liga table. The Spanish side have won five matches on the bounce in all competitions and have kept four clean sheets in that period. 

Their most recent triumph came away at Barcelona where they managed a memorable 1-0 victory against the Catalans thanks to Juanmi’s ninth league goal of the season. Despite changes to the side expected we still feel that Betis will have enough here to see off Celtic for the second time this term with 7/5 looking like a tempting price.

Besides recommending the win for Betis in this game we’ve also taken a lean towards Borja Iglesias finding the net anytime in the match along with Betis winning. This selection is currently available at a best price of 7/2, again with Unibet.

The 28-year-old forward has scored four goals in his last three starts for Betis and put in a Man of the Match performance against Valencia with a brace just over a month ago. With Betis poised to shuffle their deck, Iglesias looks like he will come into the side and with two goals in the Europa League already this term we fancy him to bag himself another after an impressive shot average of 3 per game in this competition.

Good luck to anyone following the selections on Thursday evening. Please always gamble responsibly,
