Match preview

Real Betis became the first team to inflict defeat on Xavi's Barcelona last weekend and they will want to keep up their winning streak when they face Celtic in the Europa League.

The Andalusians are already through to the knockout stage of Europe's secondary competition but maintaining a winning attitude will be key with a clash against Real Sociedad to come on Sunday.

Betis have won their last five matches in all competitions and winger Juanmi has been in particularly good form with a hat-trick against Levante swiftly followed by a decisive strike against Barcelona.

Celtic, meanwhile, have lost three of their five Europa League group matches, and went down 4-3 in the reverse of this fixture in September.

The Scottish Premiership side have been particularly porous, shipping 13 goals in the competition, and Betis look a decent bet at odds-against to come out on top again.

Key stat

Real Betis have won seven of their last ten matches.
