Celta should look to build through their back three and advance the wingbacks, while Betis can break into the space those movements leave. Both teams have routes into the box through wide receivers and second balls. The key is which side turns those entries into repeated clean finishes after the first attack stalls.
Celta's comeback against Celtic used a free kick and Rodríguez's strike, but their shot volume produced few clean efforts; Alavés also created plenty against them. Betis reached the box through Abde and Antony against Feyenoord, with Parrott receiving a clear chance despite Cucho's absence. Celta's five squad absences were confirmed in the club squad announcement, and the delayed return from Glasgow reduced their recovery work; Betis's Cucho and Firpo absences are current, with Parrott and the wide suppliers actually playing in the last match. As Celta push wide, Betis can find a first receiver behind the wingback and return for another box contact. That's why I'm siding with Betis to win.
